Picked up radiator and was told they were just chasing pinholes after pressurizing, so that one will be tossed.
Ordered a new one and received an old core that leaked, so had to take it back. Finally got one that holds water; installed it and hooked everything up and topped it off.
Toolboxes are mounted and battery cable ran from starter to the battery box.
Gauge cluster connected and installed and wired the dome light & fuel sending unit.
Steering column, wheel & horn button installed (tilt column > non-tilt).
Started testing the wiring and hit a snag:
The Good...
headlights (low & high beams) work
LED bar works
aux bed lighting works
parking lights work (minus one bulb)
gas gauge works
reverse lights/camera works
The Bad...
dome light doesn't work (flashes when I turn the lights off?)
battery gauge reads ~11V (running off my F250 @ ~14V)
turn signals don't work
starter clicks when I turn the key to ignition, but doesn't turn over (nothing happens at the run position)
jumper cables I was using started getting real warm
The Ugly...
Putting all the wiring in loom before testing since I was taking my time making sure the wiring was 'right'
Laughing like a crazy person while packing up and leaving knowing if I didn't I'd start throwing/breaking things
