You are doing one heck of a job here , not in my wildest dreams will ever manage a project like this.
Good Luck and keep us posted

There all projects, I sort of turned this one into an adventure though.

Today's update.

Well I started the day by removing the fuel lines from the donor and putting them in the shop to put on tommorrow. Then I decided to tackle the wiring and get started there. Managed to get most all of the old engine wiring out and most of it laid out as to how to put the new back in. I also pulled the cluster out and redid the glow plug circuit as my 95 powered it but the DMAX grounds it.

The cluster is out and wiring getting sorted out.


The cluster before.


And after. You can see the jumper I installed to the power that would have been for the DRL(my 95 doesn't have daytime running lights) to where it used to be grounded. Picking the copper off the plastic is alot more work than you would think to boot.


Midway through cutting out the engine and uneeded connectors.


End of the day. Got almost all of it out and can start taping it back up tommorrow after I fix some of GM's SH!TTY splices. No wonder these trucks have developed so many grounding issues, GM did some HORRIBLE splices inside of the wiring harness's.



I always end up with a few extra pieces after a project like this.
