Hey there
I just swapped a 97 12valve into my 2000 2500 gas job and am running into so serious wiring issues, just wondering how i can get the harness from the 97 to match up tp my fuse box or should i try and get one from a 98 would that plug right in? because the 97 and 2000 dashes are different and so are the fuse boxes

Any input is much appreciated

You could just put the 1997 dash into the newer cab. It is some work but fits perfectly.

That's ones option yes but I was looking to keep my dash out of the 2000 since it looks nicer and is the right colour. Anything else?

I am having issues on making the fuel pump work in the tank can't get it to turn on it's wired differently then the gas one that was in truck I have the gas job distribution box and don't have the diesel pump relay

The 12 valves didn't have or need a pump in the tank.

 

[Bsmidt]

Ah mine had one in the tank switched it with the one from the gas job. I'm just gunna wire it to a switch for now until I find another wiring harness

Did you get a donor truck or just a motor and some parts.

 

[Bsmidt]

Donor truck it was a 97 the truck it's all in now is a 2000 2500 used to have the 360 block gas engine

I'm not sure what to say but I do know the electric fuel pump from the 97 is not factory so it would have been wired by itself.Any chance you can chase the wire on the 97.If you can find out what after market pump it is you may beable to get a harness or at least a schemetic from them.

Look here and try to buy his wiring harness if it is still there. Try for the entire harness from the headlights to the tailights if possible.

I'm not sure that the electric tank pumps for a gasser can keep up on a diesel.
I do know the tank pump fix they use on the 24 valves takes a different pump than the gassers.

Okay so my whole issue is from a typo in the manual. New problem now is I have to. Give the fuel shutoff solenoid 12v from the batteries to open it and 12 volts is too much for it it heats up and shuts off. Besides using a cable to make it work what can I do?

 

[liteweight]

The p pump solenoid has a pull in winding AND a hold in winding. The pull in is activated while your starter is activated only & the hold in is activated with the key on, BUT for the hold in to function, the pull in must have bottomed the solenoid plunger.
The pull in will overheat if powered too long.
The hold in will not pull it in.
When you adjust the pyump lever, MAKESURE you allow the plunger to bottom at the same time the lever comes to a stop .

Make sure you go through the relays for the solenoid because it doesn't use 12 volts for either function as far as I know.

 

[liteweight]

They are 12 volt, but I doubt the gasser will have them wired in.

Yes the relay's are 12 volt but I don't think the solenoid is.He needs the underhood wireing harness from the donor truck.

Solenoid is 12 volt also

I have a 12 valve im putting in my 01 dodge ram it seems like everything under the hood has to be for a 12 valve 98 to match up to the new style dash
