I currently have an 89 ram50 daily driver and a 93 MM project truck. My 89 is also my parts tester truck lol I put all my custom made or cool parts on it first to make sure they work or if I like them before they will ever see the project truck. the 93 is getting a carbed 2.0 (for the ease of a cleanest look, not a daily driver) fully shaved and tucked engine bay, among many many other custom touch's. so while I have several wire harnesses at my disposal I decide to cut t.v. the 89 to make a tucked harness that will eventually make it's way into the 93. http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag56/Jasonram50/Mobile%20Uploads/JPEG_1428702093223_170910835_zpsw8c2sle0.jpg (http://s1298.photobucket.com/user/Jasonram50/media/Mobile%20Uploads/JPEG_1428702093223_170910835_zpsw8c2sle0.jpg.html)

the 93 project.
I started by digging out all the ecu harness and all the crap that is not a necessity for driving down the road.

after many many hours of soldering, heat shirking, and trying to figure out where stuff was gonna go this is what I ended up with....

alternator harness comes directly off the alternator, into the frame rail on passengers side.

if you look close you can see the alternator harness going into frame in the passenger wheel well, headed to the front end.

I used long bolts screwed from the outside inwards to support the harness over the wheel well. it worked out great because if any over hang was seen inside the engine bay it can easily be ground off and welded closed, and I'm shaving the bay so it works great!!

here you see the harness enter the cab underneath the drivers fender. I used a gutted rubber grommet that comes in the inner fender for the brake lines in The engine bay to protect the harness.
