Default Wiring

Started getting the dash harness apart and going from a BASE CTM to a PREMIUM CTM. Got the dash pulled and the top fell into a million pieces, so have to find an actual replacement that you don't have to paint. Just have to find a few parts from the junkyard hopefully! Here's some pics for amusement

Default Brake Lines/Hoses

I ordered Stainless Brake lines (full kit) and Stainless Kevlar brake hoses (4, 1 for each wheel) which are extended 18 inches from SSTubes.com. I plan on giving them a review here. I had a caliper that was not disengaging. The caliper seized in the driver's front side and the brake pads were white (indicator that it got burnt). So I replace both calipers and pads (AutoZone lifetime warranty on both for the win). Still did it and I did the old crack the bleeder trick and it retracted. That is what lead to me ordering the hoses.

Now when I do that im going to install the factory hydroboost when it was a diesel so there will be a write-up on it, in case anyone is interested!

Yep, I am interested. Hydraboost will make cylinders 7 and 9 SO much easier to change.
