Thread: Re-wire truck

    Default Re-wire truck

    I was having a charging issue on my truck this weekend. The more I dug into it the more I got frustrated with the hack-job of wiring from previous owners. Tons of dead wires. Nasty splices. 3 feet of wire to go 4 inches. After about an hour I gave up and started tearing it out.

    I now have about 50% of the wire torn out of the truck. Looks like I will be re-wiring. New fuse panel etc.

    Just when I thought I had a driver.

    If you wanna fly out, I will give you a room to stay in.

    I am sure there will be many questions in the next couple of days.

    While your at it you might as well wire up a new engine, that will be the next thing to go.

    I was at the same point a few months back. I'm looking at aftermarket harnesses and since originality doesn't concern me, there are some nice aftermarket ones for pickup trucks available online for $125-$175, depending on how many cirucits you need. I'm already 12 volts, so the original type hanresses do not interest me at all.
