Who's harness are you using?  The one at the back of the intake isn't used on standalone setups.

I had Adam at lsxharness do my harness.  It came back with those plugs intact.

It is here:


If you have a stand alone harness it shouldn't use this sender.  It would be for the factory setup...

Finally got most of the loose ends tied up with the swap.  Got to fire it up for the first time tonight, runs really rough without the MAF and o2's hooked up, but it felt good to hear it run.

We are about done with the body work, hopefully primer and paint next week.

Getting Closer!

Nice job

I'd get the radatior inlet swapped to the passenger side so your hose isn't five feet long

The top hose is the factory hose that is on all the 99-up trucks...

Looking good!

Thanks Capt!  I appreciate all your help through this.

I bought a new radiator with the same size core as the 74', but the inlet and outlet size for the 6.0, so that I could use the new factory hoses off a yukon.

Excited, but nervous about painting it in the next week or two, but excited about starting to put it back together.

Hey Capt,
I got everything buttoned up in the engine bay, but the one thing I can't find is the wire for the Amp gauge?  My wiring diagram says it's supposed to be brow, but none of my brown or tan wires get any reaction on the gauge when touched to the positive terminal on the battery while running.  Any ideas?

Did you check the wiring diagrams?  It has been a while since I messed with a 74 with AMP.  It is inline with the wiring.
