New harness option for swaps I came across this youtube channel while looking around at different swaps. It seems that he got an ls swap harness from china. It looks to be of pretty decent quality and the price is around $250. I figured Ii would spread the word and see if anyone else had any experience with these harnesses. I'm always looking to save a little $$ here and there. I am not affiliated with this company or channel in any way. Just something I came across.
Here is the youtube unboxing video:
And here is a link to the harness:

I ordered some from a different seller...sent 'em back
it was like hardware store wire and the worst terminations ive ever seen.
my money is still on reworked factory stuff or new. TXL wire and proper crimps make a huge difference in longevity
but order one up and give us some close ups of the wire, pins and plugs

I don't know, maybe I'll be the guinea pig for you all haha that being said, thanks for all the feedback and advice!

I only buy china stuff that wont cost me more if it fails. The extra cost of a tow and replacing a harness is not worth it to me.
Learned that from Chinese line wrenches and ruining a brake line.

Yeah, I know, I'm being pretty emphatic about this - but I've really started paying attention to China after that happened, & what I've seen in the years since has convinced me that the Chinese are utterly amoral, & interested ONLY In accumulating power & wealth.
If you buy a Chinese harness, you deserve what you get...
Better you than me... In my eyes, anyone who intentionally buys anything from China is a f**king IDIOT. As I write this, I have my "little furry buddy" on my lap. Several years ago, I had to spend over $1000 to save his life after unknowingly feeding him tainted pet food from China. Take a quick look at this infographic & tell me whether you'd want to feed your pet - who has NO SAY in what he/she eats, & TOTALLY depends on YOU to keep him/her safe - anything from those amoral <expletive deleted>s... More info here.

Are you telling me you don’t have a INTENTIONALLY bought tv in your house that you stare at everyday with your three tooth grin that was definitely made in China and marveling that you only paid $99 dollars for it at Walmart? While you are at it tell me what country is not ONLY interested in accumulating power & wealth? Certainly America is and should be, take a good look around your house and keep your smiley furry buddy with you and see how many things you bought from China so you could save money. Is that not trying to accumulate wealth? A lot of people are too lazy and want everything handed to us by the govt. we want to work on the G.M. assy. line and make $30 an hour to put a screw in a dashboard along with full benefits and retirement, and we wonder why the Chinese and many other countries are laughing at idiots like you.
Truckdoug said it correctly both Chinese & Americans will make items to the quality you are willing to pay for. I don’t know how many times I’ve bought items for my swaps both American and Chinese made that were complete crap, the difference is I know what I’m PAYING and where I’m buying it from thus my expectation level is in line with what I paid for it. I will say I have bought as many American made swap products that were advertised as bolt in or correct for my application and ended up working only after I beat, grinded or welded on to make it fit, this forum alone is full of threads of people saying their parts didn’t fit or work as advertised.

Chinese product, good and bad, is everywhere. Eyes open - it's easy to see.
The irony (loose) is that GM's future success is inextricably linked to China - product and sales. http://gmauthority.com/blog/2018/12/...electric-cars/

What many people fail to understand is that we are tied to China in a way that keeps both countries from wanting to start any kind of conflict, As much as people hate it both countries need each other to keep manufacturing going.

Good points you would be amazed at what can qualify for the little “made in the USA” sticker applied to products, the loopholes are endless, can you spell American? Yup! It then qualifies for the “made in the USA” sticker. More information on that in the Federal Trade Commission website
