OHC Install

[hoosier1104]

I finally got a OHC on the way. Is there any tips or tricks I should be aware of to make the install go smooth?

Make sure you cut the hole in the headliner right. Once that hole is there, there is no going back.

yeah, take your time, measure twice or thrice for that matter

hows it going on that install?

I am installing after I get up this afternoon. I work nights plus go to school. That reminds me that I have a 3 pg paper to write. Damn it!

Let the carnage begin!

It is physically in the truck but I ran out of wire.

I do not like having the map lights hooked up to the dimmer switch so I am going to find another power source linked to the ignition.

I found the Smart Junction circuit for the gray/black wire. Which wire do I connect to OG or LB/WH?

 

[hoosier1104]

VSS stands for vehicle speed sensor for ABS. With that being said it the LB/WH wire on the smart junction box brown connector for future reference. I will do a write on the 04+ wire colors once I am finished.
