$75 there List price.... on Ebay and other sites its around $50

I was going to suggest seeing what they had. Probably not a huge seller for them. If you had the Part number for that you might even find a good one complete
I'm probably going to hold off on the abs for now... get front end done, brakes, shocks, steering, alignment done.

found a few working white beds on car-part within a 3-4hr drive from me

If the tag is still present on the harness, take a picture. You never know, those other yards may have it and they may sell it even cheaper. I found one harness for $169 just looking on ebay but it was a crew cab. They seem to go up to as much as $400.

Some yards never sell stuff like that and are willing to sell it for less money just to get the sale and make more than scrap on something they don't sell.

Repining isn't that hard, seen pig tails for 2-300

Wish I could write the BCM, swap everything to my 07 drw stuff and get rid of the stabiltirac tire pressure crab and traction control crap

Been running around today, clock spring came in yesterday, picked up new AC orfice tube, got AC pumped down and charged .
Sitting ~180/26-28psi @ ~75-80° ambient with 40-42°F at the vents not in recirculation mode.
Put 22oz, 12oz and what was left of a another 12oz can in.
Condenser looks nice and uniform temp drop under the FLIR pulls some 60° out of the refrigerant

Do you have the fans on high, windows open? Low side looks slightly lower then expected for your ambient temps

Got clock spring swapped, have working horn and cruise control now, even with ABS module disconnected.

Though throttle map is a little too sensitive at 55mph as it hunts to maintain speed. Do some live scanning to figure out where I'm at on the tables.

DS headlight assembly on low beam just floods vs points a beam, swapped bulbs and no difference.. yeah for Chinese knock offs???‍♂️
PS lights the ditch up about 6' to the right of the white line.. not sure if that's bent frame work or not yet.
Had something similar to these on my dually

It's a Monday, I'm glad for long driveway, truck lost prime 3 times before not even making it 1/4 of the way down the drive.. coasted off into the grass and left it, walked back to the house and grab my suburban..

Now I get to stew in all the reasonable possibilities why it's loosing prime.
The only thing that wasn't replaced is lines on the engine itself and the formed plastic lines on the tank and the sending unit itself.

There was no obvious puddle under the truck, I'm guessing either I rubbed a hole in the new fuel line that's sleaved, or pin hole developed on the sending unit

Holly sheet…
Two dead bats, plug Glow plugs and intake air grid heater all cycled shortly after starting in 40° temp, did have burb jumped to one bat and bat charger hooked to the other during this..
Ran the truck for 10 minutes to force feed the batts, so the charger doesn't freak out about low volts..

Been thinking about getting one of these.. making a jump/maintainer setup
100amp DC is about the limit of a 15a 120 circuit
