well i'm not having much luck finding a used ls1 harness, so i am thinking about going with a new one off ebay. just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with the ebay harnesses? they of decent quality? found two sellers, both in the $300 range, for the basic harness anyway. just kinda curious what you guys think. thank, nick.
I know a few guys have tried them. You *might* be better off having someone build you a conversion harness rather than just buying a stand alone harness
SERIOUSLY man - ebay harnesses are pretty "hit or miss". Sometimes you'll see someone talking about a good one they've gotten, but it seems that just as often you hear people b!tching about 'em.
Personally, I bit the bullet & bought a new harness to modify myself from GM, but if that doesn't appeal to you, your next-best option is probably to buy one from a vendor that's known to be reputable (hint: Speartech has built a really good reputation).
(EDIT: I'd agree with the previous person who suggested looking on LS1Tech - a bit earlier this afternoon I posted that I was looking for LS-series F-body exhaust manifolds, now I have two sets to choose from...)
how's that work it says it doesn't even contain the part of the harness for the tranny?
If you go to the f-body ls1 tab you'll see 3 different wiring harnesses. The first one does not have wiring for the transmission, the second one is for use with a 4L60E trans, and the third harness is for using the t-56. I bought their harness as well, it looks very professional and the only complaint I have is that I wish they made the diagnostic connector long enough to reach the driver side dash.
