Topic: 22r to 22re swap writeup

[TURBO]

and if you want your temp guage and fuel guage to work, you'll need the guage cluster from the 22re truck also.

not true, only if you use the EFI tank, (which i recommend)... that way the pump is in the tank.

but you can* use the carbed tank with an inline pump, thus keeping your factory style dash (if you are that fond of it)

*had issues with it starting, because i believe the pump we used has no check valve, so either we need to install a check valve between the pump and tank or use a different pump.

also check out http://board.marlincrawler.com/index.php?topic=35701.240 ... may be of use


***just found out this is a 2nd gen carbed to 2nd gen EFI swap, not a 1st gen carb to 2nd gen EFI (which i have done 2wice)***

This still doesn't fix the probelm with the temp guage.  Different resistance in the clusters for the temp guage between the 22r and re.

True, but if you still have the sender for the original carbed gauge, install that into the EFI lower intake plenum and operate the gauge that way, the two plugs in the front are a temp sender and a temp switch for the computer, they are separate, non-related circuits.


if i remember corectly...

by the way i REALLY like this thread, wish i would have done a better job with Caboose's Write up...

now i want to do a FULL write up like this for 1st to 2nd gen, and 1st to 3rd gen EFI swaps, DAMN! 

[superyota]

that would be cool.  I wish someone had done one before I did mine 5 years ago.  great thread by the way.

weird, i used the efi tank, and it was empty. gauge read empty. put about 9 gallons in it and it read half

[87hillbillyoter [OP]]

i guess ill update this thread, i got nothing better to do

with the dash removed, pull the wiring harness.



then start putting the new one in.





drop er in thar



keep goin on the wiring

[87hillbillyoter [OP]]

aand i got a question. these wires in the red, i cant figure out where they go? its on the same bit as the gauge cluster dimmer and clutch cancel button.

also, in the green ,there is a plug into a box that says something about RPMs on it, i cant remember exactly what it was. it also has a little knob that turns. the plug was on my old harness but not on the new. any ideas on this stuff?





also, with my lights on, the lights behind the heater controls dont come on unless the heater is on high. if the lights are off, they come on when its on high as well. i know pretty much nothing about wiring, so any help is awesome

green circle i believe is what tells ac idle to kick up when on. Red I dunno off hand right now. Light issue sounds like a ground somewhere.

[87hillbillyoter [OP]]

alright thanks man. anybody else know the red?
