    Here's the box I think I'm gonna use for the underhood center. The fuse slots (20 on each side) are both bussed to studs on the underside. The 10 relay locations along the center are the newer iso 280 type (which is pretty cool really; all 2.8mm spacing for fuses, relays, flashers, breakers, etc.)

    +1 for ballast resistor. If that is bad the fuel pump will quit once the key is out of the "crank" position.

    I dig it!

    The current plan is to use a bussed fuse/relay center in the engine bay to handle most of the higher current loads as you're suggesting. I'm wanting to utilize the ignition switch itself (fused of course) to carry the smaller loads in the cab and the turn signals and whatnot. I just want to have an idea of the switch's safe limits. And yes my truck currently has a Renix 4L but I don't plan to integrate this new harness with the Renix system. Hopefully there will be a VW diesel controller in there ;)

    I've started designing a new chassis wiring harness for my truck; partially in preparation for a tdi swap and partially because I've grown to really like wiring and electrical systems and just want it all fresh. I see there's a green fusible link feeding power to the switch and there's two outputs that feed the "run" position (one also feeds the "acc" position.) By counting the fuse ratings on the circuits fed by these two I come up with 32 amps on the "run only" output and almost 90 amps on the "run and acc" circuit! Am I crazy or is that really high?! The next question would be are these two portions of the switch rated to carry different amounts... I believe this is all GM stuff btw.

    Ok then! Good to know information!

    Totally spent 30 min looking into this thing trying to figure out my washer sprayers before I discovered this has nothing to do with the wipers[emoji13] What does "centering adj" have to do with cruise?!

    I did some work on a customer's 80something BWM 3 series and I noticed the hand brake handle had a super short travel. I'm thinking of putting one of those (or any other that you don't have to pull up very far) as a t-case brake lever to the left of the driver's seat. I just can't bring myself to sacrifice any of the space between my seats.

    I'll add that it's pretty easy (and cheap) to make some shims.

    ScottJeep, Is that a YJ or MJ unit?

    +1 I'd much rather have something NEW in this department. Having a failed parking brake roll you into traffic or injure someone is real sucky. Not that new parts never fail but yea...

    dasbulliwagen: I'd be willing to remove my pedal assy. and ship it to you so you can see them side by side and snap some pictures. I need to get something together and I simply don't have the time to go through the research. Thoughts?

    pretty hard to keep a v8 cool in an XJ/MJ. My vote is stay v6.
  15. A-man930
    Are you considering the Grand Am heads and intake(s)?
  16. A-man930
    The FelPro improved design ones are the ticket. Part number will end in a "-1" I believe.

    Just say no to the 3.9 junk dude. We service a fleet of uplander minivans with either the 3.5 or 3.9 and they're not near the reliability of the old 3.1 or 3.4 in the Grand Ams and what not. All of those "features" mentioned earlier come at the cost of simplicity and reliability in my experience; not to mention the crazy complexity to swap that over to a 25 year-old truck and have it work correctly. A Camaro 3.4 with aluminum Grand Am heads and the appropriate cam/tune would run great. Check out 60degreev6.com

    Very interested to see the hand brake

    How much are you guy's paying for those core shifters?

    I have good (wholesale) access to a local driveshaft builder; after speaking with him briefly today I am considering having them lengthen (re-tube) a stock front shaft and use it in my SOA/SYE project. The only objection he had to the idea was if the front Ujoints were a smaller series than what came in the rear, which I don't believe is the case in our trucks.... Can anyone confirm this is an un-stupid idea??

    Lol, love it

    I may be meeting up with some guys I used to wheel with at Moonlight Racing Offroad Park on new years day.

    Ah, well I figured it wasn't the end of the world if I messed them up so I gave it a shot
  25. A-man930
    Already over budget, lol I don't see where it'll be a problem safety wise.
