I decided that having a spliced together wiring harnes was not in my best interest. Since I got everything for one cost, I changed everything, dash and all. Low fuel and heater all work like original. It seamed more simple. Now I really have a 91 1/2 truck that has an extra pair of doors!

Ditto,

My wiring harness is all 1991(early). with the exception of a little extra lenght I also removed the anti-lock wiring and computer while I was at it. I also added OEM power door locks in the back two doors, but I don't think I will fool around power windows in the rear doors(kids can still use the crank )

Anti-Lock computer..........

Hey CCD, is that the little box up under the fender on the driver's side? Is that all it does, or does it have any other function?

I have one, but it's cracked on one corner, and if I don't need it, I'll just delete it... .....

You NEED that little box for your truck, sounds like you have a 1991. 5 or newer wiring harness. The box inside the fender controls your cruise control and alternator and possibly your auto trans(if you have one). The computer I am talking about is BEHIND the clove box inside the cab. My wiring is from a "early" 1991 Dodge and has no engine control module. Upside in having an older version harness is that I use a old fashion Mopor voltage regular and I will bet that it is cheaper to replace than that little computer behind your battery .
