Well here's the problem, started out with me wanted to install a high idle switch in my truck.
I have called 3 GMC/Chevy dealers, and neither of them sort their terminal pins by part number. So...it looks like I cannot get this pin unless I have one to take in to them and search through their buckets of pins...
Is there an easy solution to this? One that involves me having a fast idle switch?
Thanks for any advice, I appreciate it!

I used 18 gauge furnace thermostat wire as a leader line. The solid core wiring fits perfectly in the connector. All you need to do is either run the wire all the way to your switches(the wire is a little stiff and does not run as easy as stranded wiring) or you can just run a short piece out of the PCM and splice in regular wire and finish your run. The 18 gauge thermostat wiring is available at any home center and is about 50 cents/foot.

You could also Call Kennedy Diesel. I think he has them if I remember correctly.

I recently did this myself. Went to the dealer, took them forever but we finally found that the part # i had has been updated to this # 12146448. Worked great.

When I did mine I had to buy a pack of ten. You may not want to wait but if you PM me a address I will mail you one.

Go to the junkyard with some side cutters & cut off a late model gm computer connector. Now you have the one terminal you need and about 50 spares. Just leave a 2 inch tail & splice it into some good quality wiring & run it to your switch.

Thanks guys, here's what I'm going to do...
Go up to a junkyard up the road, see if I can get the wiring harness...Attempt 1 (if that doesn't work)
Ask Mike if he doesn't mind sending me one...Attempt 2 (if that doesn't work)
Try the 18 Ga. wire approach...Attempt 3 (if that doesn't work)
Check Kennedy Diesel and see if I can get one from there...Attempt 4 (if that doesn't work)
Give up...:(
Thanks guys! I'll see what I can find at the junkyard tomorrow!
