    I’ll see what I can find, and I may attempt my fog light anytime mod with this method I came across which requires zero splicing.

    Posting pics here for a later quick reference for myself when I do this. The guy uses a male thin profile blade connector from a stereo harness. It goes into the factory harness behind the ignition wire.

    Those are not my pics they were taken from another thread for reference for myself when I do this :D

    I don't remember which thread I used but it was relatively straight forward and only need to trim where the wire was going between the two fuse boxes. Took us like 10 minutes all together

    Did you use a scotch lock? If so it went to the light green wire

    Am I the only one enjoying the cold weather? Outside of working in it, it’s nice to not be sweating my ass off. And I have plans for a few things on the truck this Saturday and will post pics once I’m done :)

    I ordered my front lift and am ordering the rear tomorrow when I get paid. Any chance you'd wanna help me install after it comes in? Was hoping to utilize your shops pnumatic tools and hydrolic lift maybe :) I could probably throw some sweet greenery your way. :D was thinking the weekend after thanks giving maybe. I'm supposed to be off that Thursday thru Sunday.

    I keep getting a cylinder misfire on the same one now. I've done everything else around it to the point now where I know the problem is within the head itself. So head gasket, valve guide who knows what's wrong in there so I'm going to disassemble in the spring and fix and rebuild and replace a lot of others parts while in it. Take the heads in ect. I figure a good 40-50 hours labor due to how much I have take apart to do the job.
