you can fix these issues for about 20 bucks and a trip to a salvage yard and harbor freight for marine grade shrink tube 6 inches of solder and water proof fuse holders
We already have some of the lowest prices for any American made harness that is built by a company and not an individual. You can buy cheap twice, or buy quality once.

@@bpautomotivellc I need your phone number so I can order me stand-alone harness I want to put in my 95 Impala Super Sport it's a LS truck motor can you send me your number or how could I find it
This harness not only looks identical to the PSI harness I reviewed earlier this year, but also has a lot of the same issues and the same paperwork and color coding. I’m sure thats not a coincidence. I believe they have been outsourcing for sometime and the China manufacturer they were outsourcing to is now selling their harnesses for 1/3 the price. Happens all the time and it’s a chance you take when outsourcing to countries where you can’t protect your products. Just my personal theory after using one of their harnesses and seeing several of these reviewed online now.
We cannot speak for them directly, BUT we do firmly believe that they are NOT outsourcing to China. It would probably be a safe assumption that a harness was purchased by someone in China and then reverse-engineered. (Theft of Intellectual Property). Again, we do not EVER speak for or bash competitors. We say this because there were multiple attempts by manufacturing companies in China to purchase our harnesses. We were lucky enough to catch them and cancel the orders. In your video, you also were upset about splices. Unless a gigantic fuse block assembly is being provided with a harness, it is impossible to build a V8 Fuel injection harness without splices. However, there are methods that are accepted methods and methods that are outdated and/or wrong. At the current time, GM and USCAR standards specify Ultrasonic welding is the preferred method for copper to copper wire splicing. BP Automotive utilizes an in house ultrasonic welder for all copper to copper wire splicing. Thank you for watching!
That would make sense as well. And no, it wouldn’t be very professional of you to bash a competitor. But as for me, I wasn’t happy at all with the quality/price of that harness. I feel like the China harness price would be more inline with what I received from them.
@@BadLuckGarage Just gonna say its more likely that it was outsourced by the company through a Chinese manufacture. Mostly all aftermarket parts manufacturers out source their items. Of course we cant speak for them cause most people have no idea what they're doing but from my own personally experience working for a major OE aftermarket company for many years(and doing dealings with other manufactures), almost every automotive part is re boxed from a shenzhen or changzhou supplier.
I purchased your harness based off of your reputation and solid attention to detail. I'm not risking the need for troubleshooting on a first start up. I feel you get what you pay for and I didn't want to cheap out on something I only want to install once. Thanks for offering this information and being an honest, affordable, American built company. Thank you for your service! I didn't feel it was nit picking, if you are in the Industry, you know the standards. Sure tape works for the time being, but I couldn't imagine having to troubleshoot random problems once corrosion gets in there. I look forward to installing your harness.
This video is nitpicking at it finest. But I did learn a few things to do when I get my Chinese harness. Open bank 1 and 2 and solder the fuel injector wires and shrink wrap them. Remove the starter and battery wires and replace them with a larger guage wire and add fusible links. Add some silicone to the back of the ECM connectors and the grommet that goes through the firewall. Let's not act like people redoing these harnesses themselves for their projects aren't doing way worse the ln what's in this video.
Se7enMiIe you’re grasping for straws. We have no reason to make wire that has a specified operating temperature of 185* F look like it can’t stand the heat. It can’t stand the heat because it’s not designed to.
I ordered one of these harnesses (looked exactly like this one) and was getting a crank/no start condition. After combing through all the possibilities, I decided to check out all the pin out connections to the pcm. To my surprise it was pinned wrong. The knock sensor pins were switch with the crankshaft position sensor pin slots. After I found this I removed the whole harness and am waiting on a quality American made on e now.
I have one of your harnesses in my Lt swapped 67 c10. My hot starter post is very close to my SE long tube headers. Are you saying your harness is fused protected should my header somehow come in contact with my starter post?? This keeps me up at night, lol. Thanks for your attention to detail and excellent quality, almost 7,000 miles and zero issues.
This video would lead you to believe anyone that's ever used one of these harnesses is already dead. I get the feeling he's got some incentive to make the smaller issues seem life threatening... idk.
Funny all the China hate comments. Probably send from their iPhone made in China.😂 Personally i know for a fact as a consumer that in fact there are lousy copys of certain products. But, a lot of stuff is made in China, shipped to the usa, and those who don't read the package think they buy a usa made product. What about the shirts, pants, shoes, whatever made in Pakistan, Bangladesh, poland etc?.. I just bought a wiring harness for a 67 truck. On Aliexpress . Payed a third of the normal 600 dollar painless wiring pricetag. Compared it and it was identical. So who knows this wiring harness is made in China and shipped overseas? Bought some "american" suspension parts at Rockauto. Items where shipped separate from different "wharehouses" wich where: China, Mexico and Tsjech. So what did i believe to buy? An american product? You tell me! Billet aluminium valve covers from Holley. Big pricetag!! Ready to order but did some fitment research through Google. Stumbled upon the same pics..... Huh, Aliexpress. Compared the two. Excactly the same pics! And the Ali items where half the price and shipped from Tsjech(again) Same with an aluminium radiator from Summit... For me as an european these items, also shipped from China or europe are waaay cheaper. So, again, tell me whats fake, whats not, whats "european/us made" and what is copied or outsourced?.....
I'm a diesel mechanic and work at 2 different dealership and all the packages that have the engine, chassis, and transmission harness come from China. Plus if it was unsafe, the U.S or DOT will put a banned on it.
Some times it takes years for the Government to catch up on all of the parts coming in from overseas. It too YEARS for the government to start cracking down on all the fack Aeromotive fuel system parts coming from China. As far as any parts that GM or any other major auto manufacturer gets from out of country, they are inspected by GM or that manufacturer by a qualified engineer. They don't just buy parts from out of country and use or sell them. Moreover, I would highly doubt that ALL of your parts come from China. Most of GM and AC Delco manufacturing is done in Mexico, Canada, and the US.
i have ran china harness on several LS swaps and have had (zero) issues and 2 of my swaps have been on the road running everyday, maybe lower your price for the working man will help????????????
We sell thousands of harnesses every year. We don't have trouble selling harnesses to the "working man". Especially when we have excellent pricing that beats almost all of our stateside competitors. This video was a PSA. If you choose to not heed the warning, then that's on you.
I have installed quite a few of your harnesses on customers vehicle's and have had nothing but good luck out of them. Out of the probably 15 of your harnesses I have installed I have had one issue and it was a ground wire that had pulled out which could've very well been caused by me while pulling it through the firewall. I have used two gen IV harnesses from PSI that were bought by the client both of which I have had issues out of where I had to stay on the phone for about 2 hours with their tech line trying to get the bugs worked out. Not to mention their tech line guys weren't the most personable people. Just today a friend of mine got this exact harness directly from HPI's website and honestly me being a wiring guy I didn't even feel comfortable touching it or installing it. I wouldve been more confident installing one that someone made in their garage than using this thing. Their website even went to the extent of saying that it's made it the US and is OEM color coded and it very obviously is not.
Thank you! All of our harnesses are computer tested before they leave! No missing wires, broken wires, crossed wires, or high resistance! Thank you for being a customer!

I've watched a number of videos on LS wiring harnesses and glad I ran across this video. I've looked at your site and looks like there are a number of options in the $500-$600. I will gladly pay the price difference to have something made by somebody that I can communicate with if I have a problem. If I need to save money on my LS swap, I'll save money somehwere other than the wiring harness.
Thank you! This is why we put the videos on here, to help inform everyone on what is out there, even if they don't purchase from us. Although we do hope they purchase from us! Glad to hear you are looking at us for a harness!
:) glad I built my own then lol. Thank you for showing this. I did a stint modifying factory harnesses for guys that bitched about costs constantly. I no longer do so not worth the hassle lol
If you post the codes here or send us an email we will be able to offer more in-depth help. The issue could be transmission related, tune related, or installation error. Either way, we are glad to help, just need the DTC codes. Thanks!
We cannot speak for their products. However, we can tell you about our practices and how we build our products! We have several videos highlighting the machines we have in house. Our products are build by us, in our facility right here in Kentucky, with the highest attention to detail!
Love the video as I'm throwing an "hpi" harness in the scrap pile. Cane with car, I already know better. But then I found this video to share! Problem I have with this video, no mention of the non txl jacket wire. Everything about these harnesses is garbage!
Clint Cochrane never, ever have we seen taped splices on anything newer than the 90s. We’ve had thousands of GM harnesses apart. Post a picture of one.
How does the consumer know if your harness's aren't made in china and then resold for a major profit (I get yall gotta eat too, but not trying to go broke in the process, for $500 more I can do the Holley EFI setup? After viewing your site and just glancing at the red and blue connectors it appears to be the same to me.. Furthermore your harness for for DBC-T56 didn't list if the fans were added or not. Thanks in advance, yes im debating with myself weather to purchase yours or theirs..
Our harnesses are built in house. We use in house production tooling, TXL wire and all OEM manufactured components. We have other videos that show our quality control standards right here on our RUclips channel. When you visit our website there is also a carousel of photos that show our production equipment. We also post updates on our Facebook page that show our harnesses in various production states in our shop. We will NEVER outsource our harnesses. Our harnesses come standard with relay controls, and we have several fan relay kits that compliment our harnesses. We just need to know the specs on your fans.
you're actually being very nitpicky with this harness. Honda oem doesn't use fusible links and also uses crimps and tapes on splices like that. i personally have never had any issues with my car and there's millions of older hondas still on the road
No, I laid out how harnesses are built by GM today. This harness does not meet that standard. As a matter of fact in another video we laid out how the harness is built completely out of Primary wire and TXL. Your Honda has TXL wire. The fact is, this harness is dangerous and built with improper methods and tools. There isn't any gray area.
@@bpautomotivellc I want to buy a harness from you, but I’m afraid I might accidentally buy the wrong harness do u all except returns in the event that I order the wrong one if it still hasn’t been opened
I am in the process of doing a LS swap in my hot rod project. I am glad that I found your video before I ordered a LS swap harness. Thank you for doing this video and saving many of us from wasting good money on a junk harness. Buy American and do it right the first time! I will be calling you guys for my wiring harness. Just subscribed to your website too!
Just received my chins harness for $190 , came with the pcm bolt…9/10 people buying the cheap harnesses aren’t building show room cars and don’t care wether or not their cars blow up. I do appreciate the info for when I go to install my cheap harness. It’ll work for me until I can afford to spend $500-$600 on a harness.
@@dynomantar9733 very much alive still , didn’t use the Chinese harness because I planned on going a different route with my build but it did look decent quality and I still have it just sitting around
Its like everything ....i use to work at a furniture store and owner has Chinese friend that can fabricate anything you take them from the united states and they open it up and duplicate the product but with cheaper material and when i say anything i mean anything their engineer was 2? Years old and can take apart anything and reconstructed it with their technology but in the least expensive way to save money .....
I’m not arguing for or against these knockoff Chinese copies (harnesses, heads, springs etc...) but the people buying them generally can’t afford the “real” US made stuff. And unfortunately as time progresses the Chinese copies start out crappy but if enough people buy them the quality improves while the price remains low. Sometime after like 2004 the Chinese turbos started popping up on eBay (that’s when I remember first seeing these) and initially they were shit and would blow very quickly, but after a few years as Tony Angelo said “the 8 year olds in China have stepped up their game and these things actually work”, so American companies that make these aftermarket parts need to make things with more attractive prices to compete with the copies. I’m not saying not to have the bucks up expensive parts but you guys need budget lines. A basic harness for $150-$200 should be plenty doable (I’ve made custom harnesses so I know what goes into them) otherwise in a few years there won’t be a reason not to buy the copies aside from them being made in a communist country that uses slave labor but when did that ever stop people from buying something
So you know what all the production tooling cost we purchased to be able to build these to standard? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD A HARNESS FOR $200 when all of the machines and tooling we use cost what they do. There is a massive difference between building one or two harnesses and building thousands. Let alone what our liability insurance costs. IF you want to justify buying a Chinese harness then that's fine, but don't assume you know what we could build a harness for.
There is no way to fix a harness that’s built from the wrong wire. Can you fix other deficiencies? Yes. So unless you’re plan is to replace all the wire as well, it will still be a major risk to run it.
So i decided to purchase one of these china harnesses..Very bad idea.. trans wouldn't shift . It was pinned wrong. Trans was pinned to injector and what injectors that where pinned where crossed..
Actually, the camera I am using is made in Japan. Where a camera is made is far different than where an engine harness is made. Thank you so much for your comment that has absolutely no substance or relation to the video. You should go find videos on subjects that you know something about to comment on.
If you know how to build a harness properly in 1 hour with one person please, by all means, tell us about it, I mean all of the major harness factories will probably want to know your method as well since that would be about 4 times faster than most for a proper LS Harness build. As always we greatly value your professional harness-building advice! We want to learn from all of your harness-building experience!
some of you all,need to realise,that the harnesses are coming out of One factory...& some of you need to reconcile that Cheap is Not Good....And Good is Not Cheap.
I believe you do make a quality product however I think there are several different manufacturers making these but they're not all the same quality. I got one that was 240 something dollars and all the stuff that you listed up there either they watched your video and they fixed it or I just have a lot better quality made Chinese. All my connectors are heat shrunk the wire gauge seems to be a little better and they're splicing is also heat shrunk. My instruction manual is also better and mine came with the bolt. Lol. Thanks for the review 👍

Listen to this man. I have worked with GM harnesses for years. GM has many hours of R&D invested in the latest terminals and seals. I can verify that aftermarket and China terminals and connectors will not compete with GM components. BP Automotive has the best equipment for harness manufacture. If you want years of trouble-free service, pay the money and get top quality.
Not talking down on a company. These harnesses are from China. There is a plethora of reasons our harnesses cost more. Our harnesses don’t cost more because we’re ripping you off. Theirs cost less, and they are ripping you off.

@@bpautomotivellc can't. I've already fixed it
Clint Cochrane makes sense.
How does the consumer know if your harness's aren't made in china and then resold for a major profit (I get yall gotta eat too, but not trying to go broke in the process, for $500 more I can do the Holley EFI setup?
After viewing your site and just glancing at the red and blue connectors it appears to be the same to me..
Furthermore your harness for for DBC-T56 didn't list if the fans were added or not.
Thanks in advance, yes im debating with myself weather to purchase yours or theirs..
Our harnesses are built in house. We use in house production tooling, TXL wire and all OEM manufactured components. We have other videos that show our quality control standards right here on our RUclips channel. When you visit our website there is also a carousel of photos that show our production equipment. We also post updates on our Facebook page that show our harnesses in various production states in our shop.
We will NEVER outsource our harnesses.
Our harnesses come standard with relay controls, and we have several fan relay kits that compliment our harnesses. We just need to know the specs on your fans.
@@bpautomotivellc How much would you charge to make an stand alone wire harness and 95 4l60e transmission also want electric fans in the set up..
you're actually being very nitpicky with this harness. Honda oem doesn't use fusible links and also uses crimps and tapes on splices like that. i personally have never had any issues with my car and there's millions of older hondas still on the road
No, I laid out how harnesses are built by GM today. This harness does not meet that standard. As a matter of fact in another video we laid out how the harness is built completely out of Primary wire and TXL. Your Honda has TXL wire.
The fact is, this harness is dangerous and built with improper methods and tools. There isn't any gray area.
@@bpautomotivellc I want to buy a harness from you, but I’m afraid I might accidentally buy the wrong harness do u all except returns in the event that I order the wrong one if it still hasn’t been opened
I am in the process of doing a LS swap in my hot rod project. I am glad that I found your video before I ordered a LS swap harness. Thank you for doing this video and saving many of us from wasting good money on a junk harness. Buy American and do it right the first time! I will be calling you guys for my wiring harness. Just subscribed to your website too!
Thanks for the info
Good video very professional ..
I must admit I bought another ls harness from ebay and I am having trouble with injector plugs not grounding. My luck has ran out. Lol
GIve us a shout for a harness, we will get you taken care of!
Just received my chins harness for $190 , came with the pcm bolt…9/10 people buying the cheap harnesses aren’t building show room cars and don’t care wether or not their cars blow up. I do appreciate the info for when I go to install my cheap harness. It’ll work for me until I can afford to spend $500-$600 on a harness.
Based on this video i have to assume damion is already dead. RIP brother!
@@dynomantar9733 very much alive still , didn’t use the Chinese harness because I planned on going a different route with my build but it did look decent quality and I still have it just sitting around
That's a psi harness had a few
Its like everything ....i use to work at a furniture store and owner has Chinese friend that can fabricate anything you take them from the united states and they open it up and duplicate the product but with cheaper material and when i say anything i mean anything their engineer was 2? Years old and can take apart anything and reconstructed it with their technology but in the least expensive way to save money .....
I’m not arguing for or against these knockoff Chinese copies (harnesses, heads, springs etc...) but the people buying them generally can’t afford the “real” US made stuff. And unfortunately as time progresses the Chinese copies start out crappy but if enough people buy them the quality improves while the price remains low. Sometime after like 2004 the Chinese turbos started popping up on eBay (that’s when I remember first seeing these) and initially they were shit and would blow very quickly, but after a few years as Tony Angelo said “the 8 year olds in China have stepped up their game and these things actually work”, so American companies that make these aftermarket parts need to make things with more attractive prices to compete with the copies. I’m not saying not to have the bucks up expensive parts but you guys need budget lines. A basic harness for $150-$200 should be plenty doable (I’ve made custom harnesses so I know what goes into them) otherwise in a few years there won’t be a reason not to buy the copies aside from them being made in a communist country that uses slave labor but when did that ever stop people from buying something
So you know what all the production tooling cost we purchased to be able to build these to standard? IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BUILD A HARNESS FOR $200 when all of the machines and tooling we use cost what they do. There is a massive difference between building one or two harnesses and building thousands. Let alone what our liability insurance costs. IF you want to justify buying a Chinese harness then that's fine, but don't assume you know what we could build a harness for.
So buy china and redo the harness if you’re handy the right way. Check
There is no way to fix a harness that’s built from the wrong wire. Can you fix other deficiencies? Yes. So unless you’re plan is to replace all the wire as well, it will still be a major risk to run it.
So i decided to purchase one of these china harnesses..Very bad idea.. trans wouldn't shift . It was pinned wrong. Trans was pinned to injector and what injectors that where pinned where crossed..
We are glad you figured it out, but hate to hear of things like this. Feel free to give us a shout for your next harness!
Damn same issue I’m having thanks
@@Mojogucci88 no problem
Swaps-N-Stuff so did you just buy another harness
@@Mojogucci88 i repinned it and used a trans harness from a spare..
a the camera ur using is from china so this means what
Actually, the camera I am using is made in Japan. Where a camera is made is far different than where an engine harness is made. Thank you so much for your comment that has absolutely no substance or relation to the video. You should go find videos on subjects that you know something about to comment on.
Why do I need a harness from anywhere, my cars all have harnesses from the factory.
Thanks for the info 👍
It’s still insane that people want $650 for one hour harness build it from the old harness
If you know how to build a harness properly in 1 hour with one person please, by all means, tell us about it, I mean all of the major harness factories will probably want to know your method as well since that would be about 4 times faster than most for a proper LS Harness build.
As always we greatly value your professional harness-building advice! We want to learn from all of your harness-building experience!
some of you all,need to realise,that the harnesses are coming out of One factory...& some of you need to reconcile that Cheap is Not Good....And Good is Not Cheap.
I believe you do make a quality product however I think there are several different manufacturers making these but they're not all the same quality. I got one that was 240 something dollars and all the stuff that you listed up there either they watched your video and they fixed it or I just have a lot better quality made Chinese. All my connectors are heat shrunk the wire gauge seems to be a little better and they're splicing is also heat shrunk. My instruction manual is also better and mine came with the bolt. Lol. Thanks for the review 👍
johnbrakingground you have a link?
@@edflores4105 They are now showing at $270 but this is the one I got. www.ebay.com/itm/New-1997-2002-LS-LSX-Engine-Standalone-Wiring-Harness-W-T56-Use/173454094284?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
Listen to this man. I have worked with GM harnesses for years. GM has many hours of R&D invested in the latest terminals and seals. I can verify that aftermarket and China terminals and connectors will not compete with GM components. BP Automotive has the best equipment for harness manufacture. If you want years of trouble-free service, pay the money and get top quality.
I have only one thing to say u get WHAT u pay for!
Cheap guy here.... Take my money
Imagine a harness company talking down on a different one. If yalls wasn't twice or three times the cost, wouldn't be an issue.
Not talking down on a company. These harnesses are from China.
There is a plethora of reasons our harnesses cost more. Our harnesses don’t cost more because we’re ripping you off.
Theirs cost less, and they are ripping you off.
