Guess I take pity on the next guy: I might actually *be* the next guy.
Like using never seize on suspension and steering parts. Getting the originals out: here comes the torch, big tools, etc, etc, getting my *** kicked over what should be a simple job because rust is the ultimate enemy. Comes back a few years later and -bam! - everything goes nice and smooth because I put it together the right way the last time.
Too damned anal retentive and too proud of my work, I guess, to hack ****.
Customer wiring harness? Built some from the ground up. I love that fact I can go to a junkyard and pull a factory harness to use, wiring with tracers on the insulation, so when I start making a new harness for whatever I can label the diagram as red wire with white tracer goes to ________
I'm just anal enough that if I wire a brake controller in on a pick up that all the wires coming from the cab or wiring harness to the trailer pigtail, the same color wires will be used from one end to the other.
That way if I have issues with it I'm not trying to figure out which wire controls the brakes. I know it's the blue one from front to back.
