Showing a circuit from start to finish on one or two pages would be much better.
Back in the good old days, the wiring diagrams for the entire car were are two or three fold-out pages...... Cars have gotten a LOT more complicated since then.....

Door is from a standard cab.






So I bought another 2001 ORE. 218,000 miles from Florida. Now to decide the best way to fix them. I'd like to save them both. The other one has 85, 000 on it.

That looks to be in REALLY good shape. Aside from the tailgate.

Yes, it is. There are dings all over ,but at least it isn't rusty. They tore the gears out of the front axle for some reason. They put them in a plastic box in the bed so the gears and axle shafts are ruined. Why not put them on the floor in the back of the cab? It needs a fuel pump. The paint has a lot of wear around the doors. I'm really excited about having it.

Yeah, the off-road edition is indeed the holy grail of second gen 1500's. That's one I would LOVE to put back on the road.

I hope to put both of them back on the road. I'll start with this one and keep looking for a rust free body for the other rolled ORE. That's what this was supposed to be, but turned out to be another ORE!
