Well it's obvious now what's wrong with the aftermarket harnesses. That gauge wiring is a whole lot bigger for the power wire and from the fans. I'm sure the smaller wire is building up resistance which leads to heat..ugh..where did u get that harness? It looks new.

I got it from @ScottyBoy he finds them at junkyards cleans them up, puts new loom on and sells them, they look brand new when he's done, and it's close to the same price as the aftermarket harness

Post some pics of that crispy interior. How'd it happen?

Certainly! according to the old timer that i bought it from, his 19yr old grand son drove the burb over and parked it blocking access to the back of their property. He asked him to move the truck and this was the most insulting thing the teen had ever heard so in defiance he set the interior on fire.

heres some progress pics i started stripping stuff off the front last night this was before i went in for dinner. After i came back out i got about 30 minutes and it started to rain so i had to hurriedly clean up and run in.

got the rad out, trans cooler lines disconnected, a lot of the hoses off, clutch fan off etc. hoping to go ham on it tonight and get the rest of it out and maybe the motor out.

Apparently that kid never had his ass beat by his parents and it is quite apparent that he needs a good ol fashioned ass whoopin’ right now. :2cents:

Gave her another wash. Heading to Maine tomorrow. I take pride in having a clean ride cruising down the highway.

I started the interior led light change out. I read the reviews only after they were delivered today, i hope they last for a xouple months but at 5 bucks for 10 i won't hold my breath. At least the other two sets i have coming have better review. I will be buying led headlights soon.

Thanks @95escahoe. I'll reach out to Scottyboy. Hard to argue with him not having a failure in 6-7 years..

I get those OEM harnesses when I come across a 05-06 truck in the junkyard that hasn't been picked clean yet. I pull the harness apart from the core support harness in the truck that it's wired into and make it into a standalone harness. I remove the relays and fuses and COMPLETELY clean and scrub the entire thing until it looks new. Then I rewrap everything in New wire loom, and I put new silicone Dielectric grease on the fan plug connectors. It's like a new harness when I'm done with it. I sell them on here and several other truck forums. As soon as I get another one, I'll post it up for sale.

Working on the valve seals as I type this... these little clips are a pain in the ass to get back in
Oh yeah. You should try them when you're installing dual springs if you think it's hard with single springs. It's super hard to get the springs centered and compressed enough. I only dropped one and was able to retrieve it with a telescoping magnet. Put a dab of grease on each clip before you put it on. It will help it stay in place.

Yea thank god I'm not doing that. I don't have any grease and my wife's car is getting a new windshield right now. But I'm slowly chipping away at it. I might only get 1 side of the engine done but I'm also painting the valve covers wrinkle black

I love crinkle paint, I did mine in red. And my transfer case in black when I had it out. But if you can get some grease on those keepers you'll see how good it works. Good job.
