Why did you need to swap the Harness that has the Body Wiring...? (Lights and all) Mine appear to be the the same between same year, one being 02 Ram 2500 V10 and the other an 02 Ram 3500 Cummins.

@@jamesrobinson5801 I’m not certain. Best I can remember is that it was all one harness. It would make sense to not swap it if it’s an option. Where does it disconnect? At the fuse box I assume?

@@johnathonjsmith I used: -Plastic fuel tank original to the V10 truck -sending unit from a diesel truck(connected like it was from the factory with fuel lines off of the diesel truck as well) -fuel tank sump kit (required drilling a large hole in the bottom of the tank for supply and return to the airdog) What I did not use: -Gas sending unit -fuel tank from the diesel donor truck Donor truck was RCLB and the project truck was ECSB so the tank was different.
