I have only bought a wiring harness once, and it was only for electric cooling fans. And it was cheap. And I can now say, it's always worth spending good money on a wiring harness! Helpful video!
In the computer world, the terms are “modular” and “non-modular”. Non-modular have factor wire that are hardwired in, modular allows you to pick and choose the wire you’ll need for your application. Hope this helps 👍🏻
@@GooeyThaGamer $800 replaces everything in the vehicle...vehicle-correct sockets, switches, connectors. There's a reason why you can buy a $500 kit for that truck elsewhere...because it's about $300+ short on parts.
My problem is not necessarily this company here but lets say another one based in ft worth will sell gm 70 model half ton 800 bucks same model a 70 f100 1200 whats different
Love the information! I had a few questions if you were up for answering; gettin ready to build my first rod. '51 Pontiac Chieftain sedan (straight 8 package); now I'm planning to do some extreme things but not super extreme. Lemme explain: I'm planning on replacing that straight 8 with a 455 Judge Long block, roots supercharger, still carburated. Nothin to too extreme, gonna just vega-box the old manual steering for precision. Tranny n drivetrain's gonna be a 4 speed automatic from Butler Performance (it came with a hydromatic automatic originally; was a big selling point for'em post war), and of course the appropriate cooling system with duel electric fans for efficiency. Now of course I'll be converting her to 12 volts and I have some other inbetweens figured out, my main questions are: Would you recommend the Highway 22 for this job? She'd have AC added (them folks at Vintage Air seem pretty good), likely an electric fuel pump and guages for efficiency sake, hood tach too. Only other electrical feature I could think of is I want to keep that old turn-key push-button start up that came stock on her and a dead man's switch. I'm thinking of changing the suspension system from leaf to something more sturdy to handle the new weight; also adding a 50 gallon fuel tank so that's another heavy feature. But I want to keep the height stock, I'm not a particular fan of lowering/raising her, nor airbags. I'm debating springs but I'll admit, I'm still just learning about suspensiom and chasis. Any recommendations? And should I consider reinforcing her chasis for the new weight and speeds she'd get up to? I appreciate you reading this, I know it's a bit of a hairbrained scheme and I'm probably missin' something glaringly obvious but it's somethin' I've wanted
The Highway 22 and Highway 15 were designed for that type of vehicle. They are technically universal systems, but they are GM-based so they would work perfectly in that vehicle.
@@davemckelvey8738 Are they for a 6 volt? I bought a RF wiring harness univ. 6v. cut the wires to length. Had 3 auto electricians tell me to take it out- wires were for a 12 volt and may over heat- All 3 mech. said you can use 6 volt wiring with a 12 volt system- because of the thicker gauge used for 6 volt sys. But never use 12 wiring because the gauge used is smaller. Plus when I asked for a diagram- they sent some piece of paper with colored lines and wording so small I had trouble seeing it with a magnifying glass. But the text instruction papers were readable--- I now have a fuse box and all the wiring that I can't use--- because I cut the wires-trusting they knew what they were doing. I even told them I'm not a mechanic- nor an electrician.

Jackson Bochat perfect explanation
In the engineering world in general.
Now if they could only make them affordable for the average working man.... definitely the way to go. Keep up the good work Jason!!
William Lane I hear ya, $800 is pretty steep! I guess it’s an investment, considering it’ll probably last another 50+ years

LOL, my old 65 F100 I use a screwdriver in the switch, don't have to worry about loosing my key

What kit would you recommend for a stock 85 gmc sierra?
I just buy one but dont have the back up lamp reverse. Fuse or wire
Do you have any recommendations for cab mounts/ kit for a 1986 c10 Other than LMC.
Thanks in advance.
I'm not knowledgeable enough about that to give you a good recommendation, but Truckandcarshop.com may have some helpful info. Good luck man!
@@FatFenderGarage Thank you! I will check it out.
I checked with American all wire and they do not have a kit for a 46 Pontiac or any GM vehicle. Any recommendations?
Mr. D buy the Highway 22 Plus system.

I didn't like the way the turn signal circuit stuff was wired.
So don't buy the $20 harness from Amazon?
