Truck in question is a 1984 6.9
- Brake Lights
The PO removed the trailer brake wiring and ended up wrecking the rear lights circuit. I tore out the (complete) harness that included break lights and functioning trailer plugs off of a bricknose and have been thinking about grafting it in. The current state of the rear wiring is a rats nest, so I think it'd be easier to run the new harness after pruning off all of the wires I don't need. That being said, I don't know if the 'new' harness has the same plug fitting as the 84 under the hood. I would appreciate some advice on how to approach this.
- Oil Pressure
I installed a factory turbo kit on my truck over the summer and the turbo I bought had a segment of the oil pressure sensor wire still on it. After replacing the old pressure sensor with the turbo oil supply the old sensor wire was too short to reach so I just chopped it and spliced it with the length I had off the turbo. The logic behind this decision came from PBR and the rough observation that the sensor looked like it communicated via a singular solid wire. It seems either my intuition was (likely) wrong or the pressure sensing unit is dysfunctional because the pressure gauge reads high the instant the engine is operational and never changes.
