Harness?
Have the dually in the electric shop. Tried to order a harness from the dealer & it's obsolete. (imagine that) Who makes an aftermarket harness, complete? Who has a decent one? The shop can rebuild it with matching colored wires, heavy duty relays & dump the fusable links, etc., but he told me to be on the lookout for one & just own it for the next time something goes wrong. I have a lot of faith in our local shop. He does fantastic work & has been around for 35 years, but his warning to look for one just to own for in the future makes me think I should. Any advise is welcome & I don't have the time or patience to mess with it myself. Thanks.

It seems to me like your local shop is far more capable of building a good wiring system than Chrysler did.
I wouldn't worry about finding another harness; if I wanted a spare, I would just go ahead and have him build TWO while he has his tools out.

I just took apart a gasser for parts and the harness is really, really easy to get out, so if there's one in a junk yard you could get it with a few hours of work.

I totally agree with Bearkiller. The stock harness was woefully inadequete, and after 20 years, it is more so.
If you pull the Harness out and mount it to a piece of Plywood, it is pretty easy to replicate. Plus the stock harness is in sections and when taken apart, it is not so intimidating.
