I spent some time this morning tracing out the brake light function from the cab to the taillights. Then I found out the taillight loom I got from a 2007 will NOT work. It's a single taillight setup. Problem I figured out that there are two taillights in the wiring diagram and then started looking for the white/tan lead nope. Not there. Now I'm on hold, waiting to see if the salvage yard has a 2005 wiring loom so I can get the right wiring. The project is on hold for a bit to sort out the electrical for the taillights.

I managed to get alot done today on Thor. Everyone was pitching in between Mark and Suzanna. We temporarily rigged up the AirDog fuel system so I could move the entire truck outside. I've got a trick I'm going to show on Thor that I'm doing for a AirDog soon. Already got the straw done in the sender basket. Then pulled Beast up with the trailer and used the a-frame to unload the new bed for Thor. Then, Thor was fired up, rolled out the door, lifted the bed up, and carefully lowered the bed back on Thor. I've got a problem with the brake lights not working, so I've gotta chase that problem quickly. I'm very pleased with the bed and the tailgate. The tailgate has a few minor dents, and then the bed has a few extra holes but is in good condition small dents. I've got more projects to do to this truck like sealing the radiator (another trick I wanna try). I've got an idler pulley for the fan belt to install. Then a full oil change. Then I'll have a working truck to use when I'm busy fixing Beast. What I figured out tonight just looking over wiring diagrams and quick test of power at the 26 Fuse in the TIPM and found both terminals of the fuse to be dead without power. I've got a post over on the forum...
