I've got a Grey one for a 90

I wish. I've got one for my 92 dokota but, just a POS Chilton's for the 89

Almost like my nightmare. 89 with a 90 harness. The two (in/ out) power wires at the diagnostic connection (drivers side fender) were separated, fixing this gave me power to the coil but... NO SPARK PS: they stopped using ballast resistors when they started EFI! I wish it was that easy.

I swapped the tilt wheel from a 90 FWD to a 89 2WD. It requires a little adjustment to the length of the steering shaft but, it's not difficult. I also swapped the Cruse control and, I'm wondering if that has anything to do with my not having spark! Far fetched as it might be, I'm at that much...

Fortunately, I had two trucks so, I was told by a old timer, " just cut the rubber on the one that you have to remove/replace the dash on". Lucky for me, the parts truck had a broken windshield. It did have the self destructing chrome plastic trim piece. Good luck finding one of those! The...

Having a similar problem with my 89-D-150(318 auto) . The first fix was a frayed wire at the alternator. That worked for a while now I have no spark and I'm baffled. I bought a new 89 3/4 ton van(318 auto) and had no problems what so ever. Keep in mind that, the same engineers that designed...

PS: drivers side wheel well.

Depends on the year. On my 89, there is a connector that I thought was insignificant. It's for a scanner. Turns out that it also has a power supply, power in, power out on one of the terminals. Mine weren't connected and it solved part of my problem.

Here's a little more information. 1) The 1990 was a 4 wheel drive. It ran before I stripped it. 2) I had replaced the distributor (1989) before I had swapped the harness 3) probably nothing but, the only wireing that I didn't connect is to the rear tail lights and signals. I know I'm not the...

It's gotta be something simple because I can't find it. The wiring harness got raped around the steering column so I gutted one from a 90. The distributor was replaced before the harness was quieffed . Is there a difference?
