im also selling my blacked out corner lenses. $10 plus shipping..

came out ok but i used the flat black and it looks faded. ill probably have to redo it with gloss or satin so it matches the carpet in the back.
i also figured out the park neutral switch FINALLY!!!! seems like the switch was in the wrong position so thats why the back up lights didnt come on or starter engage. i traced the wiring and figured out that the ground on the starter relay isnt any good. so i will have to run another ground so it will work. only issue is that the gear indicator doesnt work. any ideas guys??
got a lil delivery today..-6An fittings braided hose and fittings to connect to the trans case. also got my suspension..pro thane full polyurethane bushings! tomorrow i will hook up my new trans cooler lines. unfortunately the cooler on my truck doesn't have a screw on fitting to attach the hose so clamps it is!

hopefully these things dont leak. i took off all the wiring so i couldnt fire it up..gotta figure out how to get the transmission to align on the crossmember its a PITA with only one jack. damn adjustable mounts!
I have a few questions about your harness. Im working on my old harness right now and cant find exactly where the 4x4 harness ties into the engine harness...it seems as its basically a "standalone" harness. I need to put the 4x4 harness in with my nelson harness. If you have any tips lemme know!
I haven't paid much attention to the 4x4 part of the harness because I'm probably doing away with the 4x4 anyway.Quote:

What I am trying to figure out is where that gets its power from because its not actually connected to the engine/trans harness. Sry myzterray for blowing up your build page, ill move this to my build page lolQuote:

I'm in the middle of sorting out this 4x4 wiring om my 98,it appears the PCM only wants to know if you are in 4WD or not,it has nothing to do with the operation of 4WD.Feel free to correct me if I'm not right(I'm used to that!).
Hey myz I know you are running the same headers as me, I put my drivers side on tonight and it just barely hits my frame rail. what did you do? get out the ole hammer and hit the header? lol or did you knock in the frame a little bit?
Myz? LOL just call me ray...lol yea i had the same issue. It was hitting the frame. I knocked it in with a hammer. Fit fine after.thatQuote:

Here's a question for the purchase of these two items:
""oil pressure sensor adapter and coolant temp adapter from s&p"" is this so you don't have to put new stuff in or what?
I was under the impression you had to change all of the stuff out for the new 5.3 equipment....????
What is the difference between a DBcable and a DBwire? Other than you have to have the pedals for one and not the other....
DBC is a cable operated throttle body setup. DBW is electronic.Quote:

Great thread, love the detail. Been reading this all day off and on.... trying to figure out if this is something i want to do....I do... but looks like a lot of time.... Read about 15 pages of thread..... can't stop...
thanks! i wanted to be detailed because i wanted people to use my thread as a guide. the only reason mine is taking so long because i havent been working on it consistently took a month off plus i relocated so i didnt have tons of cash to throw at it. kind of a weekend project for myself im pretty sure if i bought all the parts in advance i could knock this swap out in a few days. also im learning as i go. now that ive done this swap and got it to run. i cant wait to do it again.Quote:
