Wiring

Just letting everyone out there know that im completely updating the wiring in my truck. After 8 hrs spent last summer and another 6 last weekend, Ive had it. I got a guy coming who is going to completely update and rewire the whole truck. Remove all the inline fuses and replace with a fuse panel. Just have to organize some time for him to come in and do it. Im even going to get the base started for electric windows and wipers and stereo/speakers

Im not talking about just the enigne. Myself, and for what I would use a truck like his for I would update the engine.

Im talking about everything else. I just like the way he is doing it.

I couldnt live without tunes. For me I can only stand the engine sounds for so and so much.

Then again I do mostly long highway drives. In town is different I like hearing the engine and exhaust sounds too

Well I dont think swapping to an alternator is a bad thing either. Might as well do a good update of it all.
