fuel lines
Thanks CptJack
Little update today. I have the passenger side of the engine compartment all wired up and put back together. The driver side is arguably more complicated and will take a bit longer given that the bulk head connectors are there. Radiator fan controller is mounted, and all the wires have been removed that aren't needed. I found plugs in the ABS controller connector to fill the holes where wires used to be.
here's a few pictures, because who doesn't like pictures.
I spent a few hours trying to give the fan controller an a/c ON signal so that I could turn the fans on when in 4 low and not have to have the engine get warm enough to need it turned on. But the controller is looking for a duty cycle signal from the high pressure side of the a/c system, so I scraped that idea. The coolant fans will just come on when they need to. I expect to need fans on the intercooler for driving in 4 low and will be repurposing the fuel pump relay for this. At the moment I am just going to route the wires and cap off the connector. I want to get this thing driving first, then I will figure out the fans.
Fan controler and MAP sensor wires are mocked in place. They'll get finalized and taped up once I check clearances with the engine.
I also got my fuel lines run from where the switch over valves are up to the filter. I needed these run because once the engine goes back in, there won't be any room to do fit checks. I'll finish up from the valves back to the tank once I get the transfer case and drive shafts out of the bed of the truck. I will drop the stock tank and the bed to have room to route the fuel lines and mock up the shape of the second tank that's going where the spare tire used to be.
What's left for now is just finishing up the wiring in the engine compartment and then making the connections in the cab. With the quarantine going on, hopefully that doesn't take too long.
I hope you all are getting a bunch done on your projects or atleast keeping busy during these times.
