5.3 swap wiring question

[HotRodPayne]

do i need to use the big purple wire in the harness to the starter? cant i just use the original starter wiring front the factory harness to start the truck? i am using lt1swap.com while modifying my harness and i haven't read anything on the starter wiring. there is a picture on the site of a finished harness with the big starter wire rolled up and labeled. it has me confused. go easy on me this is my first time doing anything like this.

Just use the original one in your truck, I did the lt1swap.com harness mods as well, and everything turned out great.

Ok great. Thanks. I've been stressing over this wiring!

I cut the purple wire to the starter inside the cab. Because the harness I got from CPP has a wire that runs into the cab for the ign I just connected it there and then used the purple wire with a fuse for my oil pressure gauge since it was already run through the firewall and in that direction.

Don't quote me on the ign connection inside the cab, but I know for sure I cut it and used it for the pressure gauge.

I added a wire to my harness that goes to the starter and added a weather packed connector and attached it to the factory starter wire on the truck. Basically using the factory stuff just hiding the wire in the harness for a cleaner look.

When my harness came back I hooked the purple wire to the OG ingnition wire for what it's worth.
