    Exactly the same with this rig. It has a headach rack with 5 KC lights and a brush guard with 4 KC`s. I pulled a lot of amp and speaker wire out also. What the hell are people thinking now days?

    What stood out was the color and gauge of wiring after the splicing were not even close. That cat sure didn't have much room to work in.

    I checked the windows and doors and forgot to check the seats. What did you think about all the butt conectors and slide terminals?

    Helo gentlemen, I am still working on the wiring on this 1996 K2500 H.D. I have repaired or removed the excess wiring for the radio. The previous owner was a firm believer in " abandon in place". Behind the driver side kick panel I found a rats nest of wiring I can not explain. I can guarantee...

    Gentlemen, I haven't died or left the board. I did however go thru an extended period of sever back problems with the worst pain of my life. Anyway the tranny is in but not the drive shafts. I ordered new coolant line fittings and by the time I felt able to install them I couldn't remember...

    That was my intent. I did extend a couple of grounds using OEM braided straps, brake master cylinder to bulkhead for example using OEM ground screws. Thanks for the info, that's the reason I joined this forum. Great people that know what the are talking about. Richard

    Hey Will, just being willing to tackle something new is a huge part of the equation. I have always lived by the saying "YOU CAN'T BE SCARED ALL YOUR LIFE". This is what I tell myself and no one else. When my maintenance guys were hesitate about one of my unproven projects I would tell them the...

    Now this is a little weird, I just purchased 2 new paint guns today to use on my truck. One for priming and the other for finish coating. Lol, I'll probably wind up painting my ear. Funny.

    Hey man, I think you just hit the nail on the head. I in no way know anything about electronics but am pretty good at electrical wiring and sizing. I do know commercial and industrial going all the way up to 2000 volts is what we referred to as medium voltage. D.C.VOLTAGE is a lot different as...

    That's a good idea, easier to trace with the transmission removed. Not sure I want to abandon in place anything electrical that is not OEM. I'VE just found way too much poor craftsmanship on this truck. Thanks for pointing me in that direction. Richard

    Sorry gentlemen for not posting when I said I would. Now down to business, I'm attempting to post a few pics of the wiring both completed and still on the to do list.

    This is the reason I ask questions here, straight answers from people that I am not quite up to speed on. No more cocking my head sideways looking like a little speckled puppy trying to understand what I am supposed to do . How would this work, I have a piece of buss bar that measures 5/16ths X...

    That is exactly what I thought too. Gabe ,my son, is an electronic switching and controls engineering guru and sometimes goes off on a tangent. Thanks for your input and validating what I reasoned. I made up 6 or 7 #4 thnn grounds so now I will go ahead and attach after a little wire wheel work...
