All you will need to do is disconnect it and wait for the SES light to come on, write down the codes and turn them off with HPT.

Although everything I have stated above is illegal and can result in a major violation from your local law enforcement.
yeah, I don't think I'm gonna do it now, bad idea

I lost most of my Evap emissions lines when I went with bigger fuel pumps and dual 8AN fuel lines.

damn if your not close


Update: Spent yesterday re-loading all the software I use on my laptop, gaaaaawd damn; took 4+ hrs to load everything up by the time I was done with all the updates , loaded Office Pro, esi, HPTuners, Dyno Sim, Uninstalled Norton and Works. Good news is I'm ready to start tuning

Spent the second half of the day verifying my wiring harness was routed correctly and checking each and every electrical connector to manual. So no new pictures but progress none-the-less.

what do you need?

I think Joe and I came up with the best way to layout the truck harness leaving the absolute min wires across the top of the engine AND allowing the engine harness, once disconnected from the inj,coils,IAT,MAF, etc to just lay over the side of the truck for servicing.

this is the best one I have so far, those bundles will be about half as big as they look once shrinked wrapped, and there is plenty of shortening that needs to get done. Luckily the truck harnesses are very long and no lengthening is needed.

That is awesome!!!!
I have a hard enough time just adding a few wires for new stuff.
How many hours do you think you have just on the harness?
I wouldn't even want to know how much time (and money) you got on this entire build, but it will be worth it.
I'm sure it would have been a lot quicker if Uncle Sam didn't get in the way.
