I agree with getting some help from Chad. Not only with troubleshooting, but also with learning more about wiring. If Walter spent a day or two working on wiring with Chad, he could learn a lot!
I'm not surprised Walter is getting into the whole wiring thing. He seems like a very chill and patient guy. That's the exact qualities you need to handle a rat's nest like that without losing your mind!
It's really appreciated that finally someone highlights the immeasurable effort it takes to organize such an event. As usual, a delicious thank you for the videos ❤
Kudos to you Walter for having the patience and knowledge to work on that rats nest of wiring. Hope everything went great at Wrecker Games and ya'll had some fun! See you in August at Smokey Mt Jeep Invasion!
Walter I am impressed with anyone that can tackle a massive job like studying a wiring diagram and building a wiring harness that works. It's GAMETIME!
Was nice chatting with you as you were setting your booth up. What a change up in weather between Thursday and Friday. Froze my butt off waiting for the teams to get to the top of the hill. Bummer about the Life flight.
So good to see Walter in there up to his elbows cleaning up the wiring rats nest, and I agree with getting some help from Chad. Greetings from Western Canada, wish I could be there
It’s nice when the shop is quiet. Put on your favorite music and it is a pretty enjoyable experience. I had to completely stop when our friends Marvin, Marlon and Luna came to visit because there’s no way to keep track of all the tiny holes and remember where everything goes when you have distractions (for me at least)
Yes, now that the harness is cleaned up, we have some heat shield in place - but lots more planned and we’ll show everything in detail as soon as we get past the wrecker games this weekend.
Hi Hollie, Thanks for sharing this story. i personally strongly dislike the excess electronics on modern cars. Try to find a youtube car builder showing the dozens of hours they spend chasing down electrical issues in their build, they wont cuz its frustrating as heck. Good electric work takes a ................long...............long......... time.
Walter is on it!! Wiring diagrams aren't fun unless you are use to them. Been doing it forever!! Tesa high heat fabric tape is the only way to go for vehicle wiring harnesses!!! Expensive, but well worth the money!!!😃
for wire management i recommend what is called "wire spaghetti" it is a plastic flexible tubing , with a split in it for easy installing. then only zip-ties can be used to attach it to frame or tabs to secure the harness. it comes in different sizes as well. it also protects the wires from abrasion.. good luck and have fun! i hope this helps.
I love LS engines. Worked on several of them..up to LS7...psst...there are aftermarket engine computers for these LS models..with wiring harnesses..looks like Matt might want to add colored smoke flares for next years event to direct the Life Flight helicopters in.
I'm picturing this, when you found and fixed the problem with Nessie and she started, someone in the shop did a Gene Wilder from Young Frankenstein and said "It's Alive" followed up with his laugh. 😄🙂🤣😂 Holly I do have to say that you and Lizzy are better looking in Matt's style of shirt than Matt is. 😊 that is a really nice touch to have everyone on the team dressing the same at the Games. Keep having fun at the games and remember (Don't forget to wear your sunscreen) at the games, I saw some REALLY bad sunburns at KOH. Thanks for the update, Take care Sorry if you don't understand my Movie reference, it's really funny "at least too me"☺
Given the mechanical side is tuned personally I would get the wiring guru Chad to design a whole new harness. It is a good power plant which you know works.
I guess the next step up in wiring practices, materials and reliability from Automotive/automotive aftermarket would be Motorsport/military spec. But that stuff can leave you stunned from sticker shock
Does our young lady have merch? Looked around a bit but I'm not the most savvy with navigating all the elements of channels. Nessie was a great build, you guys should all be so proud. Are you doing your own wrecker games footage?
It was a time crunch thing. In every race vehicle you have to go through and check, double check, and triple check everything. This is why it's so hard to develop a winning professional race team. You can't overlook anything. When you buy a premade off the shelf wiring harness you're going to need to modify it. Walter should go hang out at Chad's Fab for a bit when they're doing wiring. I think he would learn a lot. You still has a great first race and there's a lot of potential there.
I replaced all my vital fuses with breakers on the racecar, stock fuse boxes are not made to withstand this usage which is another good reason to use breakers. As for fusible links they should all be mounted on a board if you can't replace them with breakers. That harness is a freaking nightmare and should be replaced with a custom one using heavier wire; I'd consider the current one only good for making sure things work on delivery. Ideally, at some future point, I'd ditch it all including the stock ECU and fit a Haltec ECU and dash when time and money allow. In my experience, the stock ECUs do not tolerate the dust, heat and vibration of race conditions for very long before becoming problematical, especially off-road. While using the stock one it is important to isolate from all three as much as possible. The issue of course is that protecting against dust (and water) while protecting against heat is not easy. I use an IP68 enclosure that is insulated, shock mounted and has air from the fresh air breathing system forced thru it creating positive pressure with clean air. I keep a silica gel pack in there as well to combat moisture and change it prior to every event. Walter is a wiring machine, I can do it but I certainly don't enjoy it. Making a harness takes me forever and it never looks as good as the ones you guys have made from scratch.
One advantage extra wires have in a plug is they help fill a hole that is also a place for moisture to come in, albeit not exactly water tight. I'd just cut extra wires the same short length and call it a day but it's clean to take them out. I wonder if it would be worthwile to put a dab of silicone sealant over the empty holes to help keep it water resistant. Databyter
@@walterfowler4720 That's pretty fancy Walter. I guess using plugs gives you the option to add wires later if you want without having to clean out goop or buy a new plug. GJ
I have a similar custom wrench. I was working on my 1982 Reliant Wagon, and the pipe from the catalytic convertor was loose. Talk about an awkward location, I had to have a wrench cut down to about 3" long to be able to use it in that tight spot.
@@kiplegend6445 That's getting serious! I had to have the open end for what I was working on, even cut the box end wouldn't have made it around the pipe.
FYI an LS will start with no sensors connected. Not well but it will fire. Use TXL wire. Cover in vinyl wrap tape and then Tesa 51036 fabric tape. A well thought through wiring design should never have to go near the exhaust. If it has to wrap it in DEI heat wrap or equivalent.
Very true. Walter spent most of his time extending and properly routing the harness so that it doesn’t actually go anywhere near the exhaust. There is still some work to do, but it had to wait until after the wrecker games
In this situation especially, it’s great to know that we could start the vehicle for the first time just a few days before the race and focus on all the little details for fabrication. But the 2011 donor vehicle has a lot of fancy options (wired into the harness) that the motor and vehicle no longer needed.
I would second the Chad's Fab for electrical but now knowing I think with Walter handling the harness issue Mz Nessie is in very capable hands. Get it done Walter!
Well it's a bit silly routing wires past the exhaust, wouldn't matter whether they were new or old, so you can't blame that on the supplier of the engine, who ever ran the wires, is the one that put it near the exhaust, sorry you didn't finish, all the best to yous and your loved ones
Due to wiring methods used on cars circuit breakers are actually a detriment where with fuse and a few voltage to current charts..an experience vehicle electrical technician can troubleshoot a vehicle very quickly
Ok Hollie, I read down some way through the comments and didn't see this addressed so I may be the only one who doesn't know this but What do you use all the CO2 for? Walter is worth his weight in gold! I hate anything to do with electrical and Chad has been Soo busy working on Paul's wrecker and Frankenana! It is finally time for that monster to shine! Wish I could be there with you all but it's just not feasible. I know you two will have a ton of fun. Love you guys, you're the best, God Bless.
We use the CO2 tanks for a number of simple tasks while out on the trail including adjusting tire pressures, Setting blow beads, running air tools, and the small tank is a dedicated tank I have for air lockers. 😊🤘🏻
@@MischiefMakerTV Sweet! I had assumed that it was for tires, but the CO2 threw me. I know people put nitrogen in tires but why not just high pressure air? Why specifically CO2?
There is this guy called Chad (Chads Fab)that you may have heard of that can do magic with wiring LOL. I bet he would be more than happy to help if you asked.
Did Chad Fad look at your wiring harness? You really need some flexible wiring harness wrap. I wouldn't rely on electrical tape to offer much in the way of heat resistance. You all have spent considerable time to get things correct on Nessie. You need to make sure that wiring harness looks as professional as the rest of the build.
We used the same fabric tape they come with from the factory and added 2 layers (and some cases 3 layers) of heat shielding to the sections of the harness that run anywhere near the exhaust. The remaining portions of the harness just have 1 layer of heat shielding.
People have been Posting their videos from the wrecker games, and Im trying to avoid watching any of them yet, cause I dont want it to spoil Matts video for me. lol Ill wait and watch the others later, looks like a lot of cool stuff out there on it.
I’m sure everyone will want to see Nessie and Mischief Maker while at the Wrecker Games, and grab some merch! Don’t forget to LIKE👍🏻 this video everyone! A pesky YT algorithm necessity. 🌺
Next time maybe get a standalone and circuit breakers. Cheaped out by not going Holley / FiTech etc. junction box for the rear wiring….Interwebs expert from experience
alright Hollie dropped a video ,, all is right with the world again!! Question...does Walter own a pair of long leg pants? he seems fond of shorts for sure lol. it was nice to see Walter showing up as well, he needs to do it more often. and two foxy women in a pickup truck running in the Utah wild ?? there goes the budget Walter buddy should a hid the credit cards lol
Well I to just put a 5.3 LS in my Jeep Wrangler. I found a company called BP automotive that costume builds harness and only uses OEM. Wire and plugs and test it before you get the harness I highly recommend these people and it only cost 500. So good luck
The scan tool we had did say there was a communication error, but at that point we had to assume there might have been damaged wires going to the OBD2 port. Now we know a few more things to help troubleshoot when something like this pops up.
Walter needs to go and spend a week or two, being Chad's Fab apprentice auto electrician. He would be schooled in a way most people could only wish they had been
All the wreckers except Matt's used a rope and pulled the vehicles up as would any off road vehicle for assistance. This means that only the WRECKER Matt used actually performed as a wrecker. Since this was the Wrecker Games, I would contend the other VEHICLES should be disqualified for not being wreckers by their own actions.
Kris chose not to drive and Matty agreed to step in. Kris was with us the whole time and we wouldn’t have been able to race if he hadn’t buttoned up the vehicle harness on Wednesday or Thursday night before the race on Friday. 😊
He really enjoyed the process and we now have everything properly routed and most of the heat shielding is in place. We had to leave some of the work until after the wrecker games 😊
How many people agree that hpllie should rename nessie little mischief maker since they're the same Valor and built similar and walter shou l d get to wheel it 👍💯
You are right and that will absolutely happen at some point. Walter was convinced the minute that all the old harness protection started cracking and crumbling away (and the state of the harness clips being so brittle). Similar to the hoses, we are going to create our own custom harness and then provide lengths to the manufacturer so that each section of the harness can be routed exactly as we want.
??? WHAT HAPPENED? That’s what I should have asked when you ‘ran’ past me on the road towards the opening ceremony …🤔 Oh, in the video you made comment about being a little late…but, I think that was the day before. I sense a pattern here. 🧐😀 It was great seeing … in passing… as you trotted by… .🌈🌈🌈🌈🌹🌵🌹🌈🌈🌈🌈 .

My hats off to Walter.. I don't mind wiring but I sure the heck don't love it lol.. can't wait to see the ole girl out again
So Wise , Thank You. Good to see the Mighty Walter . You are a Uip as Matt's Spotter .
Soft spoken and calm seem to be prerequisites for wiring. Being the person who tackles that chore becomes an instant VIP.
It's really appreciated that finally someone highlights the immeasurable effort it takes to organize such an event. As usual, a delicious thank you for the videos ❤
Kudos to you Walter for having the patience and knowledge to work on that rats nest of wiring. Hope everything went great at Wrecker Games and ya'll had some fun! See you in August at Smokey Mt Jeep Invasion!
That’s cool that the community is paying back to Matt for all that he has done to help the community. It has to be a big boost for the local economy.
Walter seems as laid back as Chad working on the electrical.
Walter I am impressed with anyone that can tackle a massive job like studying a wiring diagram and building a wiring harness that works.
It's GAMETIME!
Excited to hear more about the Wrecker Games! You will be an amazing spotter!

Every mechanic needs tools that can be modified to fit a particular job.
Have a good time. God bless
Everything is lookin great y’all! Walter good to see ya Brother 👊🏻!

Walter , God bless you brother , doing all that wiring . I HATE WIRING😂 if i had to do all that i think i would slit my wrist with a wooden spoon 😂😂😂

Good on Walter for removing the excess wire in such an official manner! Velcro heat shield in the heat zones may save you headache later
Yes, now that the harness is cleaned up, we have some heat shield in place - but lots more planned and we’ll show everything in detail as soon as we get past the wrecker games this weekend.

You should have Chadfab wire up your jeep. He wired up MORR's wrecker and FabRats wrecker..
You need to have Chad of Chad's fab work over Nessie's electrical systems just my take on the situation....lol.
You beat me too it. 👍. Some of the wires look to be too light.
@@paulshannon4576 Looking at some of those connectors,and hearing the harness is years old,the whole thing is a potato chip,needing careful handling
Absolutely beautiful Jeep wonderful job.

I think spending $1000-1200 on a new standalone engine/trans harness will save you a lot of headaches now and in the future.
