Project 6.0L Sedan

[D_Eclipse9916]

After having such a hellacious yesterday with the pilot bearing, I decided to relax a bit and do wiring. The car had already proved running with no codes so now I could actually start the process of cleaning up the harness; so since the trans was out and intake manifold off, it was the perfect time to depin the ecu and get rid of all the excess wiring.

GM's ECU plugs are stupid easy to depin, they do not even require a depin tool. Halfway through:



At about the halfway through point, my back is starting to hurt from leaning over (I have back issues). So I decide, what the hell, get to work on the trans a bit. After dropping the passenger side exhaust header, the bellhousing finally popped off enough to put the clutch and flywheel in. Woohoo!


After doing a bit more wiring before retiring for dinner, this is what my excess wiring bundle looked like:



All this work in the same time as getting one stupid pilot bearing out. 3 hours of brutal intense pain yesterday to 3 hours of smooth install the next day. I Guess these cars can keep us on our toes.
