Hmmm... you probably have your rad a good 3-4" farther forward than me. I like the fit of the fan that you have there and the amount of air that it moves but I am not sure if I will have the clearance with how my rad is currently mounted. I should have measured the distance between my rad and the clutch fan spindle.I cut the Mark VIII fan shroud thinner to make as much room as I could (I moved my engine 1" closer than the closest factory engine mount holes). You should have plenty of room for a Mark VIII fan.
That is for the VSS. For some reason, GM used a male to male adapter. I believe that the VSS should have a cable coming out of it that connects to that connector.weezy wrote:Does anyone know what this connector is? It's about 10 inches from the tranny plug on my 5.3 harness. I thought it was going to be my speed sensor, but there's no way it's reaching the back of the T-case. Perhaps they just use the same harnesses for the 2wd trucks and this is the speed sensor that would have plugged into the tranny on a 2wd truck?
True, but my engine also sits further forward than yours. I just went out and measured, and at its deepest, the fan sits 5-1/2" off the face of the radiator core.weezy wrote:Hmmm... you probably have your rad a good 3-4" farther forward than me.

The yellow box in just the cruise control. It can be deleted. If you carefully pulled the whole cruise system (didn't cut any wires) you can sell it on Ebay.weezy wrote:Here we are with the 5.3 harness reinstalled and the Jeep engine harness in process of being thinned.
Here are a bunch of questions...
I am assuming the three red wires that hit the bulkhead connector at pins D4, E4 and G4 all get battery power. Can I cut off the fusable links before tying them into the battery?
Can I use the yellow wire from pin B4 (alternator and ignition feed) to feed the "keyed on" source for my 5.3 wiring?
Can I use the green wire from pin A6 (starter relay feed) to feed the starter solenoid on the 5.3?
And is this module underneath the passenger side dashboard (below) just for the stock cruise control? Can I remove it since I will obviously not be using the stock cruise control with the 5.3?
Unless the adapter is glued on, this is a one piece connector... there isn't a clip on the other side. What's odd is that the VSS sensor on the T-case looks like it requires the same weatherpack connector that this thing requires. So I have been looking for wires with weatherpacks on both ends... this is what I thought you meant by "adapter". Couldn't find it. While I am still scratching my head about how this was hooked up in the Silverado, the easy thing to do is just going to be to cut this dumb thing off and replace it with a normal VSS connector.csuengr wrote:The thingy at the end of the cable in your hand is the male to male adapter.

Used on 4wd auto only. I'd imagine it has something to do with the 4wd low and a correction factor for the auto tranny. Just a guess.........chevelleguy wrote:Its called a VVS adapter and it's only used on the automatics. It's there for a reason.

Talking about the "adapter" as shown below his thumb in this pic. I don't have one on my LS (2wd). It must be some type of adapter for the TC VSS.DustinLangston wrote:False, it was used for the two wheel drive and four wheel drive versions. The two wheel drive it was plugged into the transmission, the four wheel drive versions it was plugged into the transfer case.
