Did sending your harness in to be reworked save any money or have any advantage? I have an 8.1 I pulled from a G-van that is going to end up in my crew cab. I have everything from the donor. Since mine was a van harness I wasn't sure about wiring lengths or if it was worth it to rework. Howell doesn't list it on the site, just the stand alone harness and reprograming.

I had a truck harness that had the Allison harness in with it so really they only separated that harness from the old one $100. The harness otherwise is completely new with x2 obd2/can plugs added so I can plug the Dakota dash interface and retain the under dash plug. Also had electric fans added just in case I want them down the road. They did a really nice job, everything is labeled even cruise control etc I'm not dreading setup kinda lookin forward to it. It was 700$ so I'll leave the decision to you. I'm glad I did it so far

Magnum?

Yes! Box one of three is scheduled for delivery today I'm not sure which part it will be as I order a ton of stuff

 

[SpeedlabDan]

Big brown showed up with some drivetrain jewelry! Magnum is here! All the while I'm just prepping the 8.1L. Have a spark plug that was never installed all the way so I now need to chase it. I'm also drilling the heads for the new m10x1.50 exhaust studs as well as pulling this rear main seal. I guess you could say things are gettin pretty serious...

i need to stop looking at magnum box pics . . . i want one to swap out for my 203 on atleast 1 of my doubler kits .

Did some painting, had to chase two of the spark plugs as they must been galled half way but the plugs were still clean. Also upgraded all the manifold studs to 10mm I just wish they were a bit shorter for the headers

Are you going to run spacers on the studs? You will have less chance of a broken stud in the future.

The headers have 7/16"flanges and u run really thick header gaskets for leaks so I may only have a half inch or so I think I can live with that. Good point though

Tcase stripped down and painted hugger orange. Modifying the shift rail on the mill. Swapping over from syncro to standard front output.
