ferrariowner123 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Head back to the junkyard and get the block off plate from the car you got the harnness from. It should have the correct plate. Grab the gasket too! Glad to see your making progress on this. Post up if you have questions. There are more than a few geniuses on here who are willing to help. -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferrariowner123 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 So spent 4 hrs yesterday at the junkyard pulling this dash harness...all I need is the trans wiring and 4x4 switch wiring but it's all intertwined soooo it looks like I'm probably replacing mine which I didn't want to do...I can't keep my manual shifter lever so I'm gonna install a metal plate where the 4x4 shifter lever used to be in insert the new switch like so...

Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk The plate you mentioned in this post, the one under the shiftier assembly, you were referring to that right? -Kyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cntryboy_88 Posted April 2, 2016 Author Share Posted April 2, 2016 No I was planning to take a piece of metal and putting it where my manual 4x4 shifter was and installing the automatic 4x4 shifter in its place Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cntryboy_88 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Share Posted April 4, 2016 That actually turned out to be the wrong rack and pinion so I had to send it back and then I'm gonna have to order the right one Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cntryboy_88 Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 Well starting Saturday I will be off work for a week for the sole purpose of working on Besty all day to get as much done as I can...first will be to tear apart the dashboard and re wire everything get the new ECU and TCU installed...after that will be to get the rear end lifted up...and last will be to get the engine in the car and possibly the transmission...hopefully I can get it all done Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDN_S4 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Did you have to rotate the rack to make the steering work? When I installed my SFD the rack and pinion did have to be rotated. Otherwise it binds at the u-joints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
