American Vs. Chinese LS Wiring Harness

The BP product is worth every penny. However, I buy the Chinese DBW harnesses on Alibaba, the Chinese eBay, for $169 and have never had a problem w/ them. Seemingly, the guy selling them on FB is a reseller and taking a good mark-up. In the case you cite I'd buy the BP every time but at $169 I've found the Chinese harness to be a good buy

Ordered 1 chinese harness off ebay for my 87 burb once, never again. Had to basically beat down the seller's door to get a diagram for the dash harness portion and guess which manual they sent? BP's manual. I never could get the O2 sensors, MAF and IAT sensors to register even after buying new ones and swapping the PCM. Also for some reason they had the alternator signal/exciter wire spliced into the main power feed somewhere so it just drained the battery when the truck wasn't running. Complete crap, i'd sooner buy a junkyard harness for 50 bucks and leave the evap pigtails unplugged instead of going through all that again. Before anyone asks, the PCMs I used were 99-2002 and the harness was advertised as that too. That BP harness looks real nice though!

Wrong place to be cheap if you ask me. Wire harness is like the vascular system of your car,don't want to be trouble shooting any of that 300 miles from home. The chinese looks like it would work fine the first few months,then the gremlins start. Corrosion in connections,pins that don't have the proper drag tension etc. My money definitely on BP

The struggle is real though everyone would love to support and purchase an American harness but over 1000$ for a harness 😂 that costs more than the truck itself and I got a family to feed I’m trying to have fun on a budget more power to you if you have the money to throw away like that

I can see both sides and maybe it depends on the vehicle and application. For example if the harness is going on a $300 junkyard motor into an old beater with liability-only insurance, it’s hard to justify a harness costing double the engine value. If I’m building a $20k plus ride or a daily driver, the extra cost is good insurance.

Great video. The BP harness looks like a solid piece. I went with another US made harness and had a few snags with it, but it's installed and running fine. Next go around I will most likely go the BP route. To be honest, the BP fuel/relay block was the deciding factor for me when I initially bought. It appeared that it was too big, but as it turns out, it is more compact and user friendly than the harness I bought.

Thanks for the side-by-side comparison, I've been struggling to decide between the various suppliers, your video really helped me decide which direction I should consider based on ease of use.

Great comparison, more LS stuff please. :)

I’m glad your going to be able to use them both. I just started watching your videos. I like the approach you take which is how I will do. I don’t mind saving a buck on a budget but I don’t (hate is better word) throwing away money on something that is going to waste time. Like you said in a previous video, I’ve been down the block with a project that got no where fast. I want to ride. Thanks again on your insights.

I TRY TO AVOID ALL THINGS MADE IN CHINA HARD TO DO SOMETIMES THOUGH .. SUPPORT MADE IN USA! 🇺🇸
