You might want to try a site called Centech. I'll be going through them for my harness, as they use the Ford connectors. I spoke to Jim (he's the guy that does these), and he obviously knows his product. You will have to pay for their products, as they're not cheap, but I think it may be one of the more direct fixes for our trucks.

Besides, i think one of our moderators has already said that they've been in the works to make these folks one of the site sponsors too.

I used the ez wire harness. I'd say it's ok. The quality is top notch, no complaint there. My only complaint is hooking up the gauges. I have yet to find a good diagram that shows what anything is on the ford truck side. Other than that plan for a good Fri. night and Saturday project.

I found a similar unmolested parts truck and replaced my entire wire harness. Not too bad and everything lines up. Paid $200 for the truck and already got more than that in parts.
