Re: ojoe's crewcab shortbed build

Sweet! When did you pick that up? I'm going with Speartech for my harness. I've looked around a lot and they seem to have the best combination of price and customer service. I'm having them do some special mods for the Suburban and they seem eager to do what you want.

Question, why no AC? Are you going with the throttle by wire or are you going to switch to a cable. Speartech can do it either way.

hey rod, i think i am going with the throttle by wire. what are you going to use for cruise control.
this is a long story about the engine. long story short, the man i got the engine from died in the middle of our trade and i still have not got all of the things we traded on but i have been able to contact his son and i may be able to get the rest. i still have the engine and trans that i owe him.

If you use the throttle by wire, Speartech can pull the wire for the cruise control, you just have to let them know when you order the harness.
