Fryedaddy Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Got it back on the road. It drives much better with 37s due to the gearing. Runs 60 easily. I’ll be highway testing it this weekend. Still have a small oil leak I haven’t found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fryedaddy Posted March 1, 2021 Author Share Posted March 1, 2021 Went really slow and made sure the wires were installed correctly. I used the low temp soldering sleeves. They worked pretty good. I was impressed. Took a couple hours with breaks inbetween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! The plate is just held on by dealer magnets. I move it around if the tent isn’t on it. 😜 always install bottle openers on my 4x4 projects.

It was shooting black spot out the tailpipe. fortunately, painless wiring makes the same fuse box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidz429 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Which painless did you get? Is it the inside or outside that the wireing is running to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside, most 80’s GM fuse boxes will work. You will have to figure out the wiring because the fuses aren’t in the exact same locations on the painless box but it’s the same shape and fits the outer portion of the fusebox perfect.
