SmthnD1ff Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 This is how I filled the hole in the firewall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmthnD1ff Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 ^is the section of the fuse box that mounts inside the cab and goes through the firewall to the connectors on the other side. I cut the supports off, put two layers of foil backed insulation, cut a piece of cheap steel to fit snug in the recessed area and put a bolt in the existing threads through the center. I wanted to make sure it got a water tight seal so I used the only thong I had on hand- some red rtv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmthnD1ff Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Small update- its back on the road, no more high idle, no more oil or vacuum leaks and pretty much done with the harness. Tomorrow I will finish wiring up the blower motor and ac clutch relay through the ecu and then loom everything. Rewiring the entire truck has been a chore and at times I seriously considered throwing in the towel and just buying a painless kit but now that its finished I am very pleased and glad I took the time to rewire everything myself. I was really surprised how well it ran after I put it all back together and for the first time since I got this truck I can drive it without worrying... I love this thing... lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rymanrph Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 ... the only thong I had on hand- some red rtv  TMI man - that sounds somewhat uncomfortable.  Congrats on the rewire; that's a job I would not have wanted to tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The C101 is relatively simple albeit tedious if you go one wire at a time and you wouldnt NEED to remove tge harness to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmthnD1ff Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Got bored at work today so I sorted some of the wires left over from the harness. This is about half of what I have left over if that gives you any idea how much unnecessary wiring is in the renix era system. The rest is strewn across my work space at home.

SmthnD1ff Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 So am I... Got bored today and took the steering wheel apart and put a junkyard center cap on it. I kinda dig it and the color even matches the WJ dash... Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmthnD1ff Posted February 22, 2014 Author Share Posted February 22, 2014 Finished up a few odds and ends yesterday... I went through and cleaned up all the wiring in the dash, finally got rid of all the HVAC crap and insulated my blower system, re configured my AC controls and sorted my sound system out (still getting a small 'pop' from the woofer when the system is turned off) I also put the newer style face on my mechanical speedo. Pretty happy with the set up for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
