I missed this earlier. Where did you catch the tuna? We get them here on the pacific west coast in the summer months as the warmer water flows up. Typically in the 12 to 20 lb. range. Have to go pretty far off shore though.
I like to can them myself, 1000x better than any store bought. Flash seared loins on the barbecue so they're still raw in the middle are pretty awesome too.

Off the coast of oman, we follow the dolphins and the tuna are always ready to eat.

Sometimes right off the coast, sometimes we need to go 60-120mi offshore.

Shashimi, or we just roll them on the bbq for a thin layer of cooked fish with that delicious rawness in the middle.

Today had a pow wow with my bodyshop guy, he is gonna take the whole dash out and if he runs into a situation where there are extra plugs i will have to figure out why. But am guessin i shouldnt have any extras.

Am off again to the junk yard to try and find a nice nnbs, gmt900, rolling chassis with a few components, for my obs, gmt400, project.

Boring commute but i rather be there than try and source it on the phone

2007 IP body harness has been swapped, so now technically my car aught to think its a 2006/7.

I opened my chinese tech 2 box, and to my surprise i found my tis2000 was not burnt to the discs, and nor were my user manuals...This sux...

I have started to reverse the alterations to the engine harness, i am missing two rectangle female clips, i replaced them with square ones for the LS6 IP body harness.

So i have two LS6 engine harnesses, one PCM, one BCM, and one IP body harness, anyone lookin for these discontinued harnesses?

frustrated would be having the hottest gf, and she is always too tired to fool around...

I AM WAY PAST THAT...

I installed the newer 07 harness, everything plugged in perfectly, i even had only one extra plug which was for the TAC, so i made strides foward. I turned the key on and the AC took a while to light up but no radio and no dash EXCEPT for the check engine light.

What did i do wrong? I have the correct harness, and everything plugged in correctly, yes there are a few pins that are different on the steering column, but nothing in reference to the power...

Plz help

I know this sounds stupid but did you check the fuses?

Yes, i have the fuses that light up when they blow...

I have wiper control, the headlights and running lights all turn on, blinkers work, horn works, HVAC works.

But no dash and no radio...

Wish I could help with the car but I've never thought deep enough about this level of modification...

But, I'm always in the market for reasonably priced spares...pm me about one of the harnesses.. Have they been cut?

Spent the weekend diggin online for information about the harnesses, communication wise its all the same, i do have a few issues with power, some of the connectors differ in the power deliverance. So i have to wait till next week for the 06 ip harness and do a side by side comparison. This way i get ride of my issues and get proper power distribution.

The only other harness that could be changed is the body harness which is NA at the moment.

Went through both harnesses, they are now identical, so when i plug it in the outputs and inputs should mesh nicely.

Wish me luck

Good luck!

So your conclusion is that the LS6 and LS2 engine harnesses are identical? I'm asking because I'm assembling the connectors and wiring to do a modular, wire-tucked harness.

They are similar, where only a few wires have to be swapped and the addition of communication and throttle wires have to be added. The harness between the engine and car is also similar where only a few wires need to be swapped and a connector.

Gm isnt nasa, but they have their own humor when it comes to wiring

How is it an 05/06/07 all share the same components but use different methods of communication...?

Found a problem, the new harness i got has breaks in the lines. Did a wiggle test and the radio turned on and off again. There was no activity from the instrument cluster...

We are gonna figure this out soon.

We traced the issue to a connector, we are goin splice in the original connector and see if that fixes the probelm.

So armed with a multimeter and a circuit tester we traced the problem to three purple wires on c107. One is suppose to be for the throttle, and the other two class 2 communication 1807.

I feel they are all messed up and its confusing the ecm..

If i keep them disconnected everything works. If i connect these three wires, the dash and radio switch off...
