E-Z Wiring Harness

A lot of us with older trucks have had to replace the wiring at some point or another.

I built the wiring harness for my truck from scratch. It wasn't too bad but took a lot of time. Now I'm looking at another project that needs wired and ran across E-Z wiring. They are by far the least expensive harness manufacturer I've found, but I don't know what kind of quality they maintain.

SO--is anybody familiar with E-Z wiring products? Are they good quality?

Thanks for the input!

Just remember the old adage "you get what you pay for". I've vever used an EZ harness so I can't really comment. American Autowire makes a quality product.

Here's a couple more:

www.itsasnapwiringandcable.com

www.ronfrancis.com

It's a snap is cheaper than EZ. It is generic wiring, marked wires, fused with relays. I have wired several vehicles using this system.

Ron Francis has a fuse block that I like. If you need switched circuits, all you have to do is move a fuse over one space. They have a free catalog. I will probably try one of these harnesses on my next project. jim d

Jim,

Thanks for the links. I'd found ronfrancis already...not a bad price...very competitive, but quite a bit more expensive than E-Z.

I hadn't found "it's a snap." Looks like they sell the same wiring harness as E-Z, just a couple bucks cheaper, and since every penny counts it's good to know.

I take it you've been happy with their harness?

Thanks again for the input!

James

I've used EZ Wire and Painless. Had good success with both, but the EZ Wire is so much less $$, thats what I'll use from now on.
