stripping all the engine stuff out of the engine bay harness, eliminating it down to lights etc. , am going to link this up with an "engine side" harness out of an explorer, have the connections be for things like RPM, temp, oil gauges, etc.
reason for doing this is i had EGR codes out the ass and a few other issues with the engine not running right ( all electrical )
wanted everything the computer communicated with to be un-spliced wire. and local to its own harness.

another benefit to this will be having the computer inside the truck, no longer outside and exposed, easier to use a JET chip or just to access in general.
