[QUOTE="MrSkunks, post: 1528901, member: 38344"] Finally got around to doing the kit today. Too me much longer than expected due to the usual delays... missing sockets, dropping bolts, etc. The biggest pain was getting the fuse box open. This is really what kept me forming doing this right away. I managed to get it open just enough to work on it but it made much harder than it has to be. Once the blue/red wire was cut, I couldn’t get it out far enough to strip it sufficiently, so I didn’t get enough bare copper as id like. I finally got the 2 wires connected, soldered them poorly together, and then began getting the heat shrink over it. Maybe due to how hot it is in Florida or something, it took me like 10 minutes to force the heat shrink over the joint. I didn’t get this as far as I’d like but it was on enough it would do the job. Heated it up and threw some electrical tape on there so I could sleep better at night. After I got everything back in place, I got back in the truck praying I didn’t pull any wires out trying to pry open the fuse box. I turn to the key on, heat the fuel pump prime, all good... until I go to turn it over. Car instantly dies, no power. At this point I regret ever starting this and can only imagine the damage I caused. I go back to the engine bay and notice the positive battery terminal wasn’t tight enough. Thankfully that was it and all is well now. I read somewhere that leaving the battery unplugged resets a couple of computers and the car drives better after. Maybe placebo but I feel like the shift points and slow speed shifts are just much smoother. I wouldn’t say this kit is hard, it’s just a pain getting everything taken apart. Not sure if I was more worried about fuse 27 or now my potentially bad soldering job lol. [/QUOTE]
