Painless does sell a 3G harness of sorts now. It sounds like they already have a somewhat compatible plug to the C610. Maybe they can source the correct version.

Do you have a link to their harness? I haven't seen it.

Thanks. I've read through that and they are taking our Quick & Dirty approach. (But they are wrong about the ammeter - as long as no additional load is added to the cab the ammeter will just read negative, not burn up.) So I wonder if they'd be interested in our Done Right approach?

Let's get our approach nailed down and then maybe I'll contact them.

Painless seems to think all power passes through the ammeter rather than the shunt.

They also show the Y/W sense (A on the regulator) attaching AFTER the Megafuse.
If that fuse blows the alternator is going to have a meltdown and possibly catch on fire.

Well, maybe they wanted to retain that Bullnose peculiar feature. They definitely from my experience seem to be Chevy oriented (helped install one of their harnesses on a 1955 Dodge truck street rod and debug an installation on an LT1 swapped 1967 Mustang Shelby clone).
