E4OD to ZF5 - In Process
#106
So yall tied the tan/blue wire under the dash to the tan/white wire on the steering column correct? If I got that right where did you find was easiest to do it at? I ask because I'd like to do the same and see if: 1) My cruise still works with the manual programmed auto PCM, and 2) The cruise works with the PCM from the no cc f350 I have for sale. That way we'll have at least one more case to support or oppose yalls findings.

We cut the tan/white wire from the plug that goes to the O/D switch at the steering column (with the steering column cover removed) and spliced our jumper into that wire (the wire coming from the PCM, not the bit of wire still in the plug). Then, we ran the jumper down the steering column, routing it out of the way of any moving parts, down to the clutch interlock switch. I pulled the sheath back that covers the wires at that plug so I had some room to work. I skinned the tan/blue wire from the clutch switch (didn't cut it, just skinned about 3/8"-1/2" of the wire so i had the bare wire showingg) and spliced in my jumper there. Taped it up really good, then pushed all the wires back into the sheath and taped that up.

Thanks Hussler, that's kinda what i was looking for this morning, but it was 4:30 am before I went to work I should have realized that it was a servo. Sorry guys, I was wrong one other time LOL

Clutch safety switch wire harness location
So we started inside the cab last night. Took the dash panels off around the steering column, dropped the column, and removed the automatic shifter and the entire shifter rod assembly. Then we installed the "push to remove" key lock from the donor 5 speed. Next, we removed the brake pedal assembly from the automatic. Then, it was time to install the clutch/brake pedal assembly. There are a few things we discovered: 1) it is necessary to remove the fuel pedal, 2) it is pretty necessary to remove the entire steering column ( you might be able to do it with the column in there, but after lots of struggling, we removed it and had the pedals in shortly thereafter), and 3) this is a pain in the butt. Here's a pic of it in progress:
Before we got the pedals completely installed, we got the master/slave cylinder in place. I suppose you could do it after the pedals are installed.
Here's the entire thing completed. Disregard the big red wire hanging down - that's for my CB power:
We also went ahead and routed the wiring harness for the trans while we were at it. Also - we were able to take the clutch sensor from the donor and get it installed on the master cylinder pushrod. We found the plug under the dash that plugs into this sensor (which was capped for the auotmatic), uncapped it, and got it plugged back ing. That's as far as we got yesterday, but now we are ready for trans installation today. More to come.

To get it to start using the key could a person jump on the transmission side of the plug pins 4 and 12 instead of splicing wires on the truck side?
