wiring question
my best friend has a 93, 1-ton, 2 wd. The wiring is messed up. My question is who makes a good wiring harness. I have seen the painless harnesses for the older trucks, has anyone tried one of these? Has anyone re-wired one of these trucks? Does anybody else make a better harness?

It would probably be a whole lot easier to try to get an original harness from someone or a junk yard, if the harness is so hacked, that you couldn't make some quality repairs to fix it. That is usually how I do it, a few nice soldered & shrink tubed connections and as good as new. Most hacks I have come across were supposed to be temporary, but people never get back to repair it the right way, and they are usually easily "permanentalized" .
Painless is a good quality brand, but it is quite time consuming to wire, especially the dashes.
Best of luck.

I think the headlight switches have a tendency to burn up on these. You can switch the headlights to relays, to take the heavy load off the switch, Fairly cheap and easy.
As for the battery drain, how long does it take to drain? Is the battery in good condition? These are things to double check first. Also if the headlight switch got messed up, it could also be your potential short.
