Please tell me you aren't using a Painless harness for the engine... Those relays really look like something they supply with the kit.

LS engines and conversions are what I do everyday. So if you have any questions or need some odd parts for it, let me know! And good luck on the swap. You wont regret it.

My biggest issue with them is customer support. If you had any questions about a LS engine harness, they wouldn't help you even thought it was their own product. You know what they did instead? Gave them my phone number! So yes I had to deal with their problems and the sad thing is that my company only buys 1 Painless product and it is a sensor at that (Which we get from a 3rd party, not directly).

Next up is that they dont use any sort of loom to go around the harness. Then the relays they use arent even waterproof. Im not 100% sure but i think they use China connectors as well.

Overall, the harness will work as it should. There are just other options out there for a little more $ that I think is well worth it.

Looking good. Glad to see some cup holders! Manual valve body in the trans I take it? I am too lazy to go back in all the previous pages to find out, but are you doing a TH400?

Not a manual valve body. Just a manual controller. It's the RAD designs controller for the winter's shifter

I get it now. Didn't even know that company existed. Pretty cool product. So it looks like there is an optional switch to go from standard auto mode to full manual mode? But still, why only a 3 gear selector and not 4? At this point I would assume its a 4L60 trans? Maybe I will read back a few pages to get caught up.
