3) Get the OP Steve Van Gent, who is "only" three short hours north of me to come down for the weekends to help sort out the wiring BS.

EricU, when you talk with the smog ref can you clarify with them if the e-rod motors are acceptable for class 1 GVWR trucks? My understanding is that this is okay.
