    I have a 2000 KW W900 that I am working on that a friend purchased that had a 3406E 2WS Cat in it with a hole from 1 side to the other in the block. Anyways he bought a 3406E 1LW complete engine that was just overhauled aprox 300,000 miles ago. I opened it up, put new bearings in it anyway, checked everything out & yes it was done recently and correctly. But the 1LW is a 40 pin engine where as the truck is wired for a 70 pin ECM. I had him purchase a new 40 pin connector that I am removing the pins from the 70 pin connector and pinning the terminals into the 40 P connector per the diagram ( have diagrams of both a 40 & 70 pin) but I am needing some help as to what I do about a few things as do I splice both the unswitched + to put into cavity 4, splce both grounds to put in cavity 5 on the 40 pin ? Then what about my inputs for pto, outputs for pto, outputs #6,#7 from the 70 pin where as the 40 pin has cavities for multi function inputs #1 thru 3 & outputs #1 thru 4, #4 says for cooling fan for modules july 96 & earlier? What about wiring in for a fan override relay ? Yes I there are companies that make an adapter but I want to do this myself. Thanks for any info

    I have 2007 w900 it had a c15 mxs in it the original owner blew it up an put a 3406e 5ek in it. He gave up when it came time for the harness so we bought the truck an I bought a 40 pin connector and was able to swap everything from the 70 to the 40 pin but there's 5 wires that I'm unsure of. On the cat diagrams there called out as inputs on outputs that's it I've gone threw so many digrams. I was hoping you had luck with that part. the pins on the 70 pin connector are 7. 12. 26. 19. 20 I don't know what they are an were the go on the 40 pin connector
