best bet is to find another harness.
87-91 will work
i should have a harness available next month.

 

[pointb912]

yea thats what i was thinking ,, just replace the harness and be done with it

i will be buying an aftermarket harness for my entire truck here pretty soon,
cant let it go until i do.
all diesel trucks, from 87-91 will be the same tho... single cab, ex cab and crew cab
btw, welcome to the forum.

I should still have a 88 harness back home. Going back in a few weeks and I can check for it.

Looks like some shoemaker did that wiring. Here is basically the engine wiring.

Search on here for headlite mod and do that. Look in the IDI Tech Articles for other mods and info.

That labled engine connection in the schematic is like your pic #5 with the melted connector.

Starter relay is the one mounted on the pass side fender,

Fuel shutoff is on the IP forward one toward radiator. The other on the IP is the cold advance solenoid.

figgured it changed over with the body style.
the cab connector looked the same from my 89 to my 87

I like the idea of just swapping out the harness and moving. Any idea of a price
