In my quest to have a stock like locking steering column with ignition switch I decided to inspect the chinese key switch that some previous owner had installed. Also I like to cut stuff open whether I need to or not. The contacts are well made and solid copper but unfortunately the wiper...

I don't think you have a safety issue, you have a force fit issue. Good rule of thumb is "If it doesn't fit, Force it. If it breaks, it needed to be replaced anyway".

Your edit is correct. Skips 1 spline on both.

yes, standard steering wheel puller. That is what the 2 threads bolt holes on each side of the steering wheel nut is for. More concerning is it sound like you rotated the steering wheel on the shaft and Forced it back on where it doesn't belong. The spline on the shaft for the steering wheel...

Probably spliced in because it already had a TPS and other sensors wired. Not sure what your goal is but if it is to relocate it then I would consider getting a new US Shift harness and just using it. It would simplify everything and you could mount it where ever you want. Also all the wires...

The splines on the steering wheel are keyed but the splines on the steering shaft on the other end of the steering column are not. It is easy enough to remove the column and rotate the wheel to your desire and then put the column spline back on where you want it.

Depends, did your truck have a factory 4L80 or are you doing a conversion? If it is a conversion then the factory harness doesn't have any of the wires. The factory harness for a 4L80 has a bunch of extra wires that you don't need. The US Shift harness comes with everything you need except...

A water proof box is easy. You could use the original box and simply remove the connector and run all to the wires through the hole and then just fill the hole with silicone. You could also wire the controller to the internal connector and use the factory harness. Do you have a factory...

Unfortunately generic statements like that are not always accurate. Here's a picture of my tach sensor..

That's a Tach Sensor. It counts the number of times the engine turns in a Minute.

I think this is the guy. https://northgeorgiacorvette.com/contact-us ... it was North Georgia not North Carolina, my mistake. Chris Gowen. I found him on a FB HMMWV Swap group. He makes other stuff too like center consoles and rear curtain that uses a 87 Chevy rear window. I have no...

If you want to try extracting it yourself here is my favorite extractor set. Pick the largest one that doesn't exceed the thread size. Drill the center of the bolt, allen, plug, etc with the supplied drill bit. Then hammer the extractor pin in and slip the extractor nut over it. Slide it all...

I like this option, if I needed doors these are probably the ones I would go with. This guy makes them in North Carolina and they are about half the price of others. I think this guy does Corvette fiberglass work and also makes these.

My second opinion is don't buy anything Chinese. There are American Made options.

Get someone that knows how to weld to do it. Or you can use the drill and extract method to remove the plug. Or you can just leave it as is and use the pump and fill method in the future too. That is the easiest and least risk.

I just purchased a case from Rapco here... http://www.rapcoparts.com/mixmasppa.html It's a mix and match case. Pick all twelve of your cans. Reasonable price, reasonable shipping.

Just curious what "My PCB blinks 7 times" means. What "blinks"? When I first read it I thought it could mean the "after glow" function after the engine starts. My old start box did this and caused the volt meter and the lights to "blink" until it finished the after glow time. Just wondering...

I've run into it before but not specifically with the connector you are asking about. Drove me crazy for a day until I determined there could be no other reason and that turned out to be the issue.

Are you sure the green piece on the on your existing harness isn't from the old harness and broken and stuck to the wrong connector?

Last night I brought the steering column and ignition to my machine shop to fit them together. To be honest, it's a match made in heaven! That doesn't make it easy but it's not hard just time consuming and requires the right tools. In an earlier modification I shortened the steering column by...
