We can trouble shoot the system with a GM Tech 2 and the factory wiring manual. Some of the connectors are hard to find but over the last couple years Ryan has found them all. He does like MIL Spec connectors which drive the price up a bit but allows the engine or other harness to be removed from the main body harness.

To get all the wire in the correct gauge and strips Ryan had to order some of it custom. A bit over kill but it is nice to have the OE wire style and color coding.

Oh.... I wasn't saying I "wouldn't start from scratch like that" because I thought it was the wrong thing to do.... I was saying that because even with as much wiring as I've done --- I wouldn't personally have the talent to do this job! It's very impressive - and even more impressive with the amount of electronics - and mixing and matching and communications that are going on.
