Got my York install finished yesterday and some other minor stuff. Also got about 90% of my wiring sorted out. I will post some more pictures on monday.

SFD4x4 · May 12, 2010, 01:45:22 PM

Some pictures.
York installed.

More york.

Started the wiring, it's not nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. Just a little time consuming.

Wiring is the fun part. I spliced in the 3rz harness into my truck. Yeah it's not bad just takes alot of time. It's looking good!

minicrawlin · May 12, 2010, 03:04:53 PM

whats your plan for the gauges and such? Splice back into wiring harness or custom gauges and new dash plan?

SFD4x4 · May 12, 2010, 09:22:53 PM

I am splicing back in to the gauges. I am going to add a tach though.

minicrawlin · May 12, 2010, 10:02:44 PM

you should pick up an SR5 cluster with the tach already in it if your going through all that anyways! keep it clean and stock and such! think i saw one one here for sale maybe??

SFD4x4 · May 12, 2010, 10:08:52 PM

Yeah I picked one up, I was just being lazy this afternoon. After about 5 hrs straight of wiring I really didn't feel like dealing with that. I am headed to vegas this weekend so Im sure after that I will feel back up to it.

I have a question about wiring the ignition. On my 83 I have the ignition spots IG1, ST1, ACC and AM. On the 96 ignition it has IG1, IG2, ST1, ST2, AM1, AM2 and ACC. My question is how do I make the extra spots in the ignition to mate the 2 ignitions together? ie how do I create the IG2, ST2, AM2, in my 83 ignition or do I even need to make these spots, can I just connect IG1 and IG2 together and so forth? Any help on how to do this would be much appreciated. I have figured all the rest of the wiring out except for this and it is driving me crazy!

you will need to mod the tach if you want it to work

Ok so I have been looking at the ewd I will refer to the plugs by there #
So the ecu plug is E5 it is # from left to right when looking at the plug in hand with wires pointing away from you.
pin #1 B-Y battery + from 15a efi fuse
pin #12 W-R switch power from efi really
pin #22 B start signal from ignition switch
pin #7 W signal wire to data link connector "obd 2"
pin #5 V malfunction indicator lamp
pin #14 G-Y fuel cut for circuit opening really "this is a ground control for the relay"
pin #9 G-O speed sensor signal from combo meter

Connector IK2 "white" should have 26 pins
pin #8 B-R switched 12v 30a fuse
pin #16 W-R 12v power from switch side of efi relay
pin #3 Y-R water temp sender
pin #7 B tach feed from igniter
pin #4 Y-L oil pressure

back up lamp circuit
IK2
Pin #18 B-O 12v fused
Pin #19 R-B lights

It's looking good man. Hoping to do one on my 80 pickup someday, will be following yours to help myself out when the time comes. Cheers!!

greeny · June 10, 2010, 09:23:07 AM

what does a york do?

88_Pathy · June 10, 2010, 09:27:56 AM

Ouch.... It pumps air. They are good compressors for the trail.

greeny · June 10, 2010, 05:46:34 PM

sweet

SFD4x4 · June 10, 2010, 07:53:46 PM

So I have 95% of my wiring done. I got it to turn over the other day, however, I haven't got it to start yet cause I need a fuel tank. Off to pick and pull tomorrow to look for one, hopefully I will luck out and find one. I am itching to get this thing to start. I am trying to flat belly this at the same time also, which is adding quite a bit of work. I want to have this running by july 4.

woodfella · June 10, 2010, 09:52:51 PM

Post some pics of the flatbelly part of it. I am goin to do the same thing and havent found any good write ups.

SFD4x4 · June 11, 2010, 10:48:37 PM

Will do.

SFD4x4 · June 16, 2010, 11:27:12 PM

Got my fuel tank installed and I got my truck running! Three months after I started I finally got it running! Now, on to all the little things, and a few big ones. Tomorrow I am going to try to finish mounting my transfer case. I will take some pictures and post them on my attempt to flat belly it.

SFD4x4 · June 17, 2010, 10:21:07 PM

So I got my transfer case mounted today. I was able to get it 99.9% flat belly, the only spot that hangs down is drain plug on the rear case by about 1/4". It was a full day of cutting, welding, grinding, cursing and falling asleep under my truck, but it went together a lot easier then I thought it was going to and it came out pretty good. Some one was asking for a write up so I will try to expand a little on the pictures.

I knew about a year ago when I first started building my truck that I would want to flat belly it. So when I was buying my dual case setup I made sure I got it rotated, that helped a ton in getting it above the frame rails. Also, when I was installing my engine before I welded the mounts to the frame I had my transmission attached and I raised the whole unit to flat belly level.

I started out by cutting the tunnel out. Just cut big from the start, I ended up cutting it about an inch wider about five times.

I ended up modifying my FROR crossmember. I cut the wings off of it and welded a 2"x6"'x3/8" plate to each end. Then I welded some 1 and 1/4" box tubing to it and welded it to 1/4" thick weldable bushing from Ballistic Fabrication. I could have cut the remainder of the 3/8 off but I made it long to begin with because I wasn't sure where I was going to mount the crossmembers. I decided to leave it long in case I need to add more supports and also because it does not interfere with anything.
