The engine is in. Was not an easy task either. Had to change my engine (rubber) mounts. Using S&P long engine motor plates 1" back. Painted the engine crossmember and surrounding areas with POR 15.

This is going to be a California truck, so I need all the emmissions crap. Not a big deal. Need to buy a new fuel tank 98 ( has the right pump and fuel press. sensor). Got to make up a couple of fuel lines that go to the fuel tank. There going to be made out of nylon fuel line and get connected to the trucks steel lines. Also need to cut and reweld the gas pedal (DBW). I want an electric fan setup at the radiator, but for now going to install a clutch fan, just to keep the ref happy when I get the truck inspected when its done.
You don't need to buy another fuel tank. What you have will work fine. I used my 1990 tank and had no problem with it. Of course now it has a fuel cell.

You don't understand. I need the 98 tank because of the fuel tank pressure sensor, I'm in California and its got to have it.
Got a question, its probably a dumb one but, here goes. These wires below, are they ground wires? The wires are black with white stripes and the other is a white wire.
Does the wire that was connected to my old alternator, need to be connected to a 12volt source ,in order for my alternator gauge to work? Not sure.
The big red wire that goes to the alternator post gives you your volts.
Does that mean that the 95 alternator wire needs to be hooked up to a 12 volt source in order for the "alternator gauge" to work? The only wire that I will have going to the alternator would be the one coming from the battery, plus the connector that plugs in. Right??
The wires that are shown on page1, are they ground wires? Two I believe had eyelets broken off.

That looks like a ground wire.I dont know what kind of wiring harness you have but i have a stand alone harness.I have a plug for the 5.3 alternator from the wiring harness that controls alternator from 5.3 computer.i also have a red wire from harness that goes to the post of alternator and i connected my red wire that went from my trucks original alternator post and connected it to my 5.3 alternator post.The old alternator wire that plugged in to the original alternator i am no longer using.
