Quick Question

[99denali]

I was wiring up my new KC's last night and i couldnt figure out where to run my wire to my switch through my firewall. I have so much insulation on mine there was not a really good place, just wondering where you who have offroad lights ran your wire, thanks.

drill a hole, use a grommet and seal it up with silicon jsut to make sure and be done with it

Thank ya, that was the plan unless some one knew a place to run it without drilling.

kinda more work but maybe you could run it in where the tranny cable comes out floor. or maybe thats just easier for me since i got bl. idk where it comes out in cab though and id be more work. drillin and gromet would be easier by far

work backwards- run the wire from the inside into the engine bay, you'll almost always find a hole.

IDK if this helps or not, but I just ran a single 14G wire through the firewall.
I pulled out the top of the carpet a little bit to see what I can see.
I saw black rubber stuff under the carpet.
Then I pulled back the black rubber and finally I was looking at bare metal firewall.

Then to my surprize, plain as could be there was a 3/8inch hole in the firewall, no rubber grommet, no nothing, just a hole, no rust, looked to be completely factory. It comes out just under and to the left of the master brake cyl. I ran my wire, and covered it with loom to help with abrasion.

I'm curious to know if that hole is stock on all trucks, or is was put there by a previous owner.

I second this, that's how I just did mine last week.
