[QUOTE="dhollist, post: 852933, member: 15704"] [b]drivers side wire harness[/b] After careful relocation: [ATTACH]62323.vB[/ATTACH] You DO need to be careful not to place the harness where it will get pinched between the cab and frame when you land a jump. There is a good sized gap when the truck is parked, and it is tempting to route the wiring through there, but when the frame flexes or you land a jump, the compliant body mounts let the frame move independently from the body structure. In those instances, the gap might get small enough to pinch the harness and sever a wire. [ATTACH]62321.vB[/ATTACH] I removed the second white Christmas tree fastener (from where the harness exits the engine bay), then replaced it with the one from the third position, but relocated it rearward by 1-3/4", then used a spring steel harness clip to attach it to the off-frame body mount bracket. [ATTACH]62322.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62324.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62325.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]62326.vB[/ATTACH] Sticky anyone? [emoji13] All the best, Dave [/QUOTE]
