The engine harness is simple because it only has connectors for engine related sensors & one that connects the the PCM. It's the other harness(the one that distributes power that can be difficult if you don't take your time & familiarize yourself with it.

The other harness that you mentioned is likely the power distribution harness, which distributes power to various electrical components of the vehicle 3. This harness can be difficult to work with if you are not familiar with it. It is important to take your time and understand how it works before attempting any repairs or modifications.

While a lot of your video and information was very useful and good information, there's a few things you don't wanna do. The main thing is do not bend your wires over like you did in the bulky areas. There's several reasons why but the main is you're weakening the wire when you do that and are just creating future problems for yourself and making it a pain in the ass to troubleshoot those problems.
@wilsworkshop Жыл бұрын
It's not an ideal situation (this is a budget harness after all), but, I've taken apart plenty of OEM harnesses that have folded wires from the factory, GM has been doing it at least since the 80's. I still drive cars I folded wires on 20+ years ago, no issues. With quality stranded solid copper TXL, SXL or GXL wire I don't think it's a concern. CCA wire, sure, that stuffs garbage.

I’m stripping the rear o2 sensors and other plugs like the coolant level or oil level switch and all their grounds are spliced together

I usually just cut the ground wire thats being removed off near that splice and heat shrink over the end, then tape it up. Not 100% necessary since it's just a ground wire, but it makes it look cleaner.

@wilsworkshop3 жыл бұрын
Fuel source for the run stand is pretty basic. It's a metal 1 gallon paint can with a stock fuel pump from a truck in it. Two 6an bulkhead fittings installed in the lid, then 6an line ran to the fuel rail (pressure regulator on stock rail). There's a relay that powers the pump that's just controlled from the key-on position. It's the same setup that would work on a vehicle, just using a paint can instead of a gas tank.

The 4L60e's that came in the trucks are the most budget option there is. They aren't the best choice for heavy vehicles or modified engines, but will work if it's just a daily driver type vehicle.

It's just not common enough for there to be a bunch of videos on. Integrating the ABS into the engine computer isn't needed or done for the vast majority of LS Swaps is all. I don't think I've seen any videos on it either, but there is information out there that I've read on how to do it. Most of the swaps I do either don't have ABS, or the ABS module is separate and works by itself without being wired to the LS PCM.

"Flashed Stand alone computer" I heard you say the body control module would not be used and certain emission items would be removed. Are you saying that somebody flashes a PCM/ECM to eliminate the extras you cut out? You also used a code reader for your ADL connector. Does this mean you will not have a Check engine light on your final set up? What about output wiring to gauges? Obviously the Control unit requires the temp sensor and oil pressure inputs for performance and fuel control. But, will you be able to output that info to gauges or will you be needing to provide for separate gauge wiring?
@wilsworkshop Жыл бұрын
Custom tuners can reflash the PCM to match the application. For gauges, there's different options depending on the vehicle, but yes, the computer will still output the stock gauge signals. Check engine lights are boring, I never use them.
