Hey Dennis, if you're not going to finish the truck, I could really use those headers, engine and trans, plumbing, hell just send me the whole thing. Just kidding man, hope all is well on your end my friend.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
WOW! with "friends" like you guys.........
 i do have an update... I FINALLY GOT THE HARNESS BACK!!!  been messing with it for a few hours now. what a pain in the butt!! i dont know if i can get the computer into the cab because the harness has to make a u-turn under the engine covers... and i dont know if the engine covers will go on with the biggest part of the harness making a u turn where they mount... sooooo, i need to get those covers back and try to mount them. might have to wait til July so i can pick them up on our vacation out in Colorado

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Thats the same issue I had wiht the wait4me harness. I ended up going with a company called performance systems integration. PSI.com Great guys to deal with and great product. On ebay also. $500 for the harness made from scratch built to your specs. Thickest part of the harness is about the size of my thumb. This one will be going in the cab for sure!

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
If you cant make it work like you want it to ( I couldn't either) give the guys at PSI a call. Their number is 1-732-691-6531. His name is John. Great product and great service too.

The PCM was under the hood in the Escalade, so you won't hurt it. Have Bob make you a pretty box for your like he did for his. FWIW, I moved mine underhood from being crammed behind the cluster.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
thanks for all the help guys! i managed to get everything all hooked up yesterday. i was able to get the check engine light to go on and i could hear power at the relays etc... i just couldnt get the starter to turn over though. i'm going to see how much a remote starter is at napa... if its too much i'm just going to try and jump the starter solnoid.
Today i have to pick up the tranny pan and fill everything with fluid! and fire her up! i'll get video of it today if all goes as planned! here's some pics of how i routed the harness. i think can go either way- mount the ecm in the cab and relay box on the fire wall or mount them both on the driverside fender... the way current performance did the harness it looks clean enough to keep everything underhood if i have too. I'll just need to make a fancy aluminum box or something for the ecm.

Good luck Dennis, what am I talking about with the attention to detail that you have nothing will go wrong that you can't easily fix!!! Can't wait to see the video, make sure that video gets a shot of the grin on your face when you here it come to life!
