Is it a solid pink wire at the very bottom of the the left side of the bulkhead my dog tore into the harness when he was a puppy reason for all the confusion if it is the wire were talking about that great decided to run just one tank so do i still need the selector switch or can i just remove those wires have the selector valve but decided to run just one tank so the selector valve won't be used still in the box rated for 60 pds just dont want to take any chances was grandfathers truck so trying to rebuild it with an L59 motor oh one more question if you don't mind is 12 ga wire good enough for an ep381 fuel pump

When I did my swap to the 6.0 and like you went just one tank I removed all the transfer valve wiring. The pink wire went to the guage. The sending units, depending on which side if the truck it was, we're gray or tan. The ECM and harness I installed had fuel pump relay. So I run that directly to the new pump and sending unit and bypassed the old wiresand under dash selector switch configuration. It was easy.
