Thread: Wiring and Power Accessories

Tweet

I have a few questions on wiring here. I have been making a huge list here for my truck and looking through all these parts, prices, brands, etc so if you guys notice I am asking even MORE questions than I normally do then this is why. My windows in the truck are pretty screwed up, I lubed up the tracks, tighted all the loose stuff in it, etc and they still wont rull up unless I pull the window too. Also the pins in there keep slipping out and my window falls all the way down and out of the track and now the windows are all scratched up. So here is my plan... Power Windows and power locks since the locks are screwed up too.

LMC Truck has the power window and remote lock kit.
1.)Now I dont know about the remote lock since if the battery in the key thing dies then I am screwed so thought I would go with the Electric door lock where you do it inside. What do you guys think on this?
2.) The price for the Keyles is 70 bucks and plain one that you do from inside is 50 so is this price reasonable?
3.) Is 150 bucks for the Power Window Kit reasonable too from LMC?

Ok now, for the wiring and the fuse panel, etc.
4.) There is no more room for more power options like the windows, etc, should I get a whole wiring kit from painless or such or what should I do here? I noticed someone tied in a fuse to another fuse and put 4 wires together on the same unit and that doesn't look good to me and plus the wiring is very crappy.
I think I saw that painless has a kit where you can add onto what you have now but not sure if I should just redo the entire truck because I plan to add new speakers (whole sound system from Kicker), the power locks, power windows.

Thank you for any help on this, I am completely unsure of what to do here. I figured you guys went through this before and I dont want to spend money unless I have to so I dont want to buy something that I didn't really need or where I can find it cheaper.

Some of your problem with the windows might be that the tracks the windows slide up and down in are worn out..... (felt is gone)
If thats the case the power windows will have the same problem
You should be able to buy the window track (channel) from a good glass shop or they can order it........ Here in So.Cal. C R Laurence is a big supplier
For a window kit just make sure you get one that replaces all you old stuff There are some on the market that use your old regulator
The first on I bought turned out to be that way it ran bout $130
I now have eletric life kits on both my cars and have had no problems....... but they do run bout 200-250

Thanks MrMopar. This one has just the switches, wires, hardware and a little motor thing that will turn on the two pulleys that's it. Know of any good ones then? I saw that the autoloc place has some and they are like 200 bucks but they look to be the same thing.

Check out their site... http://www.electric-life.com/main.asp They make a bolt in replacement for your truck......
But shop around for price cuz you can get their kits for about 200 to 250 if you buy them from the hot rod shop

Thanks Mr Mopar. Looks nice but expensive haha. I will do some more research and see what I can find. I will buy new felt tracks too because the metal around the felt is bent up too and not nice looking at all.

for wiring harness, check out EZ Wiring, alot cheaper than Painless. here is the E-Bay number for one on auction, just for a good look and price. 4551144271

EZ Wiring... Got it. Thanks again 53Chevy5 your the man! haha.

gassersrule, I am going to look at Ron wiring too. I think they are cheaper as well but haven't checked. I looked at that wiring for when I was looking for parts for my 48 a long time ago.
Thanks!
