Hi all,
I have a new-to-me truck - and it's time to get it running, as it's been sitting for over a yeary now...
After I took delivery with little info and dug in, I found out a few things:
- 1997 truck
- current wiring/boxes (dill boxes?) - no fuses (this was confusing until I got the cab raised and saw the next item...)
- C7 engine - appears to have never been run
- all kinds of extra parts in the cab - full extra dash, gauges, wiring harness - apparently they removed and left in the cab.
Appears in 2014 they did an overhaul, installed a new C7 - but never fully finished. Headlights, wipers, blinkers, etc all work - but no starting - just a relay click. Looking at the engine, appears they were either flashing the ECM/ECU and/or troubleshooting, as none of the gauges/wiring are connected - and a "diagnostic cable" is still connected coiled up.
I found a mechanic - current tech in the reserves, but he's having issues accessing the info he says he needs. I can post plenty of pictures if helpful, but my real question is - is there a current wiring schematic I could get him to assist? I found a schematic, but it references the older reset-able fuses/board. The wiring is similar, but ... different. I know I can trace each line, and eventually figure things out, just asking if there's a better way.
Thanks all in advance!
