OK,Gottcha, thanks. Maybe it had a holder or bracket that makes it rotate a little. Its not in the van anymore so not sure. Maybe the wires was secured so it rotates?


It doesn't rotate much, the rod is actually what rotates some on the rod..

Well I dug right into it and found that the Hydroboost push rod is loose on the pin and switch is tight so when you step on pedal it pushes the switch, this one actually has three switches in it, brake light, cruise and i believe the Traction control. Two closed and One open. Thanks for the help .
Some Fuel and Battery and we are about to run.

Dash looks great. Those silicone elbows may end up hating life if you push much boost. Where did you source them? Are they high quality pieces?

They are 4 ply "suppose'' to hold 90 PSI. Im going to get someone to mandrel bend me two pipes then just have rubber on each end. Where can I get better Silicone elbows?

Congrats on starting it up. :thumb: I'd roll with those silicone hoses until they cause an issue. Especially if you won't get anywhere near the 90psi rating. What's the point in replacing them if you haven't had an issue with them yet?

To answer your door switch question, you can leave them unplugged and it should be fine. I have a crew cab harness in my rcsb with the rear door connectors tucked behind the c pillar panels and have had no issues with it thinking doors are open.

Congrats on the startup :)

That does suck, Did not even notice that yet. might hve to go with a aftermarket. I would switch clusters with my 2014 but my better half might frown on that. I just give her a couple hugs tonight. :hug:

Oh well, guess you'll have to go "period correct" and mount a 5" tach in the corner by the A pillar or on top of the steering column. LOL

Went for a first ride. RUNS F__ Good. No windshield or windows yet and it was SNOWING here in NY. Good thing there was no flys because I was grinning ear to ear. Ready for Body work and paint .:)

NICE! :thumb: Love your intercooler design and how you were able to mate that new cluster module to the dash
