This forum is like a Nascar diver with multiple sponsors that all make the same thing. When you ask, you will get people recommending all of them. Speartech has been around the longest I think of them all, and I don't think I have ever seen anything negative about him. PSI and BP Automotive have come on the scene lately and have their followers as well. There are a couple others on the list as well lately, but I think those are the popular ones. So when you ask for recommendations, you will receive multiple people telling you to use any one vendor.
My recommendation to anyone looking for a harness... go with a well established company. Not some guy in his garage building harnesses in his underwear claiming the cheapest prices in town.

While I haven't recieved my harness yet, I would say BP Automotive. Based only on Amazing customer service and contact! I sent out an email to several sponsors with what I needed and wanted for my project. Bill was the only one to contact me with questions to make sure what I got would be what I needed. I have no doubt Bill will be there if I need help or info during the install or anytime after that.

My big thing is that I'm planning to put a LQ4 into my 1974 Blazer and when that is up and running find another LQ4 to put into my 1991 Suburban V1500 and then I have plans to try and build a square body extended cab with another LQ4 probably. So I want someone that will stand behind there product if or when I need help on the install or diagnosing any problems that may come up.

To the OP, be sure to check out our harness. We just had a price drop on it, that one is now $625 and includes a free ecm reflash.

Yeah Painless has been one I've been looking at, I've also been looking at the info on LT1Swap. The harness on my engine was so cut up that I just tossed it out so I've been trying to find a LQ4 harness that came with a 2wd 4L80E. I'm also trying to decide if I go with a cable throttle body or drive by wire.
I've used LSXharness.com He does a lot of add ons at no cost. ex I went to LS3 and bought all the extra conversion harnesses to make it work. Knock sensors now on side of block, map now in front, 5 wire MAF, injectors different plug and something else. He would have done it at no cost on the additions since he is already rewiring it all.
Personally...I would like to hear from the guys the independantly do it ,there has to be some that do it with pride...arent we just taking a stock truck 5.3 harness and removing the pins and wires that are not used,then reprogramming the pcm to not throw codes or look for certain things..
or am i not getting it
i checked this out and like the pricing,,,dont need to sell any kids....

When building your engine you probably research everything you can and find only the best stuff. Generally when it comes to wiring, people are scared of it and just find the cheapest thing they can. This creates a negative feedback loop. Because then, with the cheaper wiring, they run into issues, further strengthening their belief that wiring is scary and they hate it.
I guess my point is, you pay for reassurance and confidence in the product. There are a few solid companies on here that make a new harness, ours included, that are well worth the price.
Sorry for the long read
Are you able to offer any harness customization? I really like the Bussmann box and DLC/SES light combo you offer. I would need additional length for the main ECU harnesses though.
LS1 version: http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcat/60509
Gen 3 truck version: http://www.painlessperformance.com/webcat/60218
Unfortunately we don't offer an extended length on the harness with the weatherproof bussmann fuseblock, though.
