Clutch is super easy, I love it.
Still have to fab a de-gas tank and ton of little stuff for a real drive.
Electrical... if anyone can help with some advice. I have the engine harness and am trying to shake out these things to make work.
1. Will not start without it. I have to manually jump the solenoid.
2. Can I connect the map, oil pressure, backpressure, pyrometer, water temp and oil temp and they work in cluster? Or at least to my H&S. I hope so because I have weeded the harness down to these wires and sensors. I will of course leave the cam and crank speed wiring till I have a plan.
May just do a push button start and manual cluster. I really want to leave the factory cluster and make it work.

Does everything power up on the dash?

Yes. Too much. I got the anti-theft bs flashing. I will connect the few sensors and remaining engine harness tomorrow and see. Anti theft may be due to jumping soleniod.

You might need to get somebody in there that can tune the 6.4 and have them turn things off so it will start with the key.

The PATS system is stopping the truck from cranking with the key. If that red padlock is flashing, it will never start. There are lower trim level trucks that do not have pats. Its been a long while since i've mucked with this but if you flashed a manual PCM file from a non-pats vin, it would make your life considerably easier. (You may also have to swap the cluster but i can remember right now).
You might also be able to put your H&S in recovery mode and force a manual file onto the pcm yourself. Id really have to clear the cobwebs to walk you thru that lol

The only way to turn pats off is through a tuner. There's a guy that just cat swapped his pickup and he went through the same thing. He ended up having a local HP tuner guy turn pats off as well as a few other things.

It drives great. Nothing went wrong. I have a real redneck degas bottle but all is well mechanically.
It definitely needs aneriod adjustment and rack. When it winds up it pulls good. Don't be in a hurry or pull out in front of anyone. I'm going to adjust aneriod first and then start rack adjustments.
The PATS went off. I think it was activated when I jumped solenoid. I have no speedometer that has to be addressed.
The torque is amazing. 1000rpm in overdrive is not any problem.
Threw the entire wiring harness in the trash after an hour trying to get the sensors to work. I dont even have to turn key on until I want turn signals. Lol ordered nice pillar pod and will tackle cluster later.

One thing that helps a mechanical engine start in the cold, is put the pedal to the metal while cranking.
My sound dumb, but electronic engines do this through the programming. Not all, but they do it.
Even old mechanical tractors we have do it automatically.

Just a snif of Cosby sauce goes a long way. I personally like the rough idle.
