TESA makes some awesome harness tape, I use it on all my wiring harnesses in vehicles and boats. I used it to wrap all my custom harnesses and new engine/injector/fuel pump harnesses too.
Fuel hoses and battery cables too...it’s great stuff. Buy the 5 or 10 pack off Amazon, you will use it on everything once you try it.
Thanks for the compliment jack19 yeah I got a lot of money and time into my rig but that's what I wanted to go all the way with it I didn't want to compromise on anything I wanted to be able to know what it was like to own drive a truck with all the options and upgrades done to it just once im my life have that dream truck become a reality
Nothing to major done today just some cooling sensor adapters for the block I pulled the block heater and was just going to block it off but then I thought I could put my ford coolant temp with an adapter in place of the block heater. Then im trying to figure out how to run my cooling hoses I know Scott the one on the top rear of the head. But im confused on the other one up front there's a port behind the alternator, and then another 2 ports behind the sc compressor and it's been so long I forgot the routing. Does anyone have any info on coolant flow charts or know where I hookup heater

Do you have a port on top of your thermostat housing? I have one on mine. So, I ran the heater feed from that port to the heater hose (the one with the vacuum actuated valve) and then the return from the rear of the X that has two hoses that go to a steel hose that runs along the firewall went to the port below the thermostat housing, which also has a tee. The other port of the tee goes around to the bottom of the overflow tank (which is where the original steel line went along the firewall). Now, mine was a 6.0, so it may have been plumbed a bit different, but the basics should be the same).
On the block heater, I'm not sure I'd delete that, depending on where you live. The Cummins motors run pretty cool to begin with and the block heater is a nice way to get that temperature up where it needs to be in cold weather. You don't need one, but it's a nice to have. Even in cold weather, it'll start just like it's warm out, but heat can be a problem. I've had cases where I didn't plug mine in on cold (0-20 degree days) where it didn't get to operating temperature by the time I finished my commute. My morning commute is approximately 25 miles, 2/3 of which is highway and the rest is 35-40MPH streets. Food for thought.
