  Near as I can tell, that ignition switch mystery wire (Tan/White-33 ?) ends at the brake pressure warning switch on the proportioning valve. It looks like its purpose in life is to test the &quot;Brake&quot; warning light bulb during cranking. <br>All these years, and how many of us have noticed the &quot;Brake&quot; light coming on, then going off when the key is released?<br>I&apos;m thinking that the ignition switch mystery wire should go to pin 33 on the instrument cluster and meet the Tan/White wire coming from the proportioning valve, going to the same pin.<br>And thanks for the explanation of why you&apos;re taking the original bulkhead connector out of the picture as much as possible.<br>Great video, as usual.

  I&apos;m finally nearing the end of my 2001 Yukon XL teardown. If all goes well, I&apos;ll be starting the engine install in one of my three Chevys. I&apos;m leaning towards doing it to the 76 C10. As I begin my swap, I&apos;m sure that I&apos;ll have questions. But, I&apos;ll use your videos to find the answers.<br>After three years of watching your videos, I finally went to your UTX store and bought a few things as an appreciation of your videos. Thank you both for what you do!

  I work in the parts department of a Kenworth trucks dealership. I look at wiring schematics weekly. I look at wiring schematics for my personal vehicles, too. The wiring schematics that you two do on your whiteboard (which I need to get) simplifies all wiring nightmares for all levels of experience, from the pro level down to the novice who is just getting into the project.

  There&apos;s a company called EFI Conversions that actually sell pink 20awg wire if that helps you all.

  I hope you are going to return to using the donor interior fuse box/bcm etc, in future videos for Gen 3. I&apos;m interested in how you will manage the interior loads, and if you&apos;ll use the donor MBEC and junction box as they are somewhat integral to how the gmt800&apos;s run the inside loads.

  Maybe that wire kills power to the auxsiliarys during cranking?

  Jerry and Emily, thanks for all of the awesome videos. I am going back and watching all the old ones . So much good info.<br><br> My 73 Camaro is about ready to fire up now . Starting to wire the factory fuse box now. I subscribed to All Data. Printed a bunch of wiring diagrams. <br><br>I also got the BCM from the 2010 2500 Express van donor. I am struggling to find on diagrams what pins i need &nbsp;to get it to run . &nbsp;I am really excited about learning gen 4 &nbsp;, i want to do cruise , AC , back up lights , headlights . Basically everything. <br><br>Once i get this one back going down the road i get to start on the 69 C10 short box in my driveway. &nbsp;It is getting the gen 3 5.3 that came out of the Camaro.<br><br> The AC bracket i ordered was for the truck . Now i want to run a factory harness in the c10 and sell the psi harness i have. &nbsp;Any help with the fuse box on the gen 4 would be awesome. <br><br> Thank you.
