damm that factory wiring looks like a nightmare,,good progress keniff

[keniff]

yeah...Jon did an awsome job! imo

the wiring isnt bad...you notice the Haynes manual on the windshield lol
i cut everything out but my AC wires, fuel block, water temp, ALT, oil sensor. find the very first pic of the wiring harness...WOW i got stressed just undoing the wiring lol. i shrink wrapped every connection i made an tried my best to make it as neat as i could. i reused my old wire loom..why buy brand new 3.99-5.99 a pack loom when its gonna get dirty anyways.

oh i also dropped my fuel tank...yeah ill never work on a truck thats covered in dried up mud..dang that was a pain!


my motor is a 2008 5.3L so its the NNBS intake covers.
i can fit my my fist in the throttle body, an it swallows the MAF sensor.

i hope to be able to afford Josh Powers A/C bracket soon lol

Stunna: hows your truck coming? i seen in your garage pics...wow i liked the SS look...

Redheartbeat: ok ill try an check it out...i kinda wanna get it up an running then worry with the little things like that. yet i dont want to destroy the u-joints.

stock fuel pump taken apart for the new G7 Grand National fuel pump to be installed

had to lengthen some wires...so it could reach the plug in and such.

Sweet pics. I noticed your fuel rail...are you runnin a returnless system?

Sweet headers. Did they come black?

[CHEVROLADE]

dude how does that not catch fire in a gas tank,always wondered that.is it safe making the wires longer?

[keniff]

yeah im running a returnless simply bc thats how the new truck intakes are. if it becomes a problem ill upgrade to a Pro-Flo an a 6.0

the wiring is exposed just like the stock wiring was. all i did was cut, solder, shrink wrap it together.

btw i hate that o-ring...its a pain in the but an its not perfect bc it wants to walk everywhere

Is the rubber hose between the pump and pressure pipe made of high pressure and fuel resistant rubber, possibly fuel injection quality hose? Many guys have used generic rubber hose and blown it apart, losing almost all fuel pressure.

i wondered that myself bc its not as thick as the stock 5/16 hose i took off...but it came with the kit i ordered so i guess it is.

anything else i may have messed up on tht you may notice redheartbeat? i dont want to run this thing a week an be down a few weeks thanks to a simple change before the start up :/
