Gpr led

Just did the GPR LED in the cab install. Used a little green LED from Radio Shack. I drilled a hole on the left of the steering column just big enough for the LED to be pressed it. (heard about that trick on here) Ran a ground and a hot wire to the output of the GPR. I used quick dissconnects on the back of the LED so if I ever need to remove the front of the dash, just unplug rather than cut and resplice. Can't believe how long it stays on after WTS light goes out. But atleast I know for sure that it is working.

I plan to do the TC lock up and EBPV/Brake soon. Just need to get the required info and parts to do the install. I have found a couple of write-ups on the TC lock up but they require building a fooler for ECM. Anyone have and experience with this method or just wiring it direct?

GPR LED is on my list. Thanks for reminding me to stop at radio shack for LED's..


My quick sketches of how i did TC lock and EBPV brake(in case i had to trouble shoot). So excuse the messiness. I put Led's in my gauge pods..
EGT gauge carries the Led for the EBPV brake, activated
Trans Gauge carries the led for the TC lock, Activated.

Thanks for the diagrams. Thats what I wanted to see. I have read a couple descriptions of how it is done, but I like pics they are easier to understand exactly whats going on.
