That's called the engine gauge feed loom.

There's also (on some) a headlamp/parking light lamp loom.

Some are available separately, some are part of the main wiring harness.

What engine? What's the trucks serial number? (the last 6 digits of the VIN)

Pah..leeze...when asking questions, list all the pertinent information.

i just got my centech harness today. i would say it is high quality. it comes with all the instructions you need. they even prewire some of the switch connectors for you. if you are going to re-wire you wont get a more ford friendly harness, they even customized it slightly for my application. plus, the fuse panel is cool lookin! i also got my dakota digital instrument cluster kit, it fits into the stock dash, has an aluminum housing that screws to the back of it, and has digital readouts in place of the old guages. and it will be a breeze to wire into the centech harness thanks to the labeling. i am actually anxious to start the wiring process, and i normally hate electrical stuff.

The centech harness is very user friendly. I wouldn't have gone with any other harness IMO. Plus, there are extra fuse outlets for additions later on. You won't have any trouble with power.
