| in my 2000 model, there's a grommet above the brake pedal, its about 2" in diameter, and it doesn't have any wires running through it. In the engine compartment, it is locates to the left side of the Brake Booster |

| I have a 99 and like Harrison stated, there is about a 2" grommet above your pedals, exactly where he said. |

theres a grommet where they stated...and thats where i have run all of my wires but there is another grommet right under the drivers seat..you have to take the seat out and cut the carpet to get to it
the only problem i have had with the engine compartment grommet is the tubing around the wires has started to warp from the heat of the engine. |

Isnt that the intended purpose of the tubing? To protect the wires from effects of heat...   |

| I ran some of mine in the fender found a rubber grommet on the passanger side kick panel. Also since every thing is mounted on the back wall of the cab I used one of the drain pluges in the floor. |

yeah but now whenever i look at it i think it looks like crap...and i have no motivation to go change it out cause it runs from the battery across and then down to the grommet |
