LOL... I dunno about Todd but my hands hurt. What a cool project. I think we have about 155 hours, 5 weekends, 4 pizza's, 18 packs of cigarettes, close to 4 gallons of coffee, 2 cans of whip cream, 5 mocha's, 4 propane torch refills, approx 30 wood pellet bags, and two visitor's into a completing an 18 circuit wire install in tandem with all the BO marker lighting, distribution box, etc. There were a couple of serious curve balls that took time and troubleshooting to sort out. The first we (I) should have caught sooner was attempting to figure out and wire the wrong turn signal switch. Once that was discovered it was quick to figure out. Then we had a different relay set up for the headlights and horn than intended. The wiring diagram we had was wrong so when the truck was powered up with the 3 lever in off one headlight would light and the low horn would sound. Nothing is supposed to power up in off position. Found the issue and changed the wiring so it works great now with the relays that are installed. Lastly it looks like the wrong bulbs are installed as they are what look like a European type bulb that lights both low and high on the bright setting. We here in the states have mostly either a low or high beam only on older stuff. So the bulbs were back feeding around 5-6 volts into the low beam circuit when brighted. A big leak so to speak.
The headlight issue had me stumped and I could not go to bed. After figuring it out and changing the wiring to make it function right I had worked for 19 hours straight. Talk about living dead.
I am now home and I plan on sleeping for two days straight.
I thought Todd was going to spontaneously combust when it fired. It was turn key and just idled like it was just shut off yesterday.
I have real nice pictures and a short video of the truck pulling out of the shop. I'll post up when I wake up.
I'm all happy inside. What a hoot!!
