Diagnostic Port wiring removal

[ALTOcal]

Am I crazy or can I remove all the wiring connected to the diagnostic port if I want to clean things up? (See wiring diagram from TM) I’m guessing this device just provides voltage/amperage/resistance readings to the diagnostic device to check how things are functioning. Seems like extra wiring to me (since I don’t have a diagnostic device).
Should I just leave the wiring and remove the port? It’s extra space in the cab I’d like to reclaim.

That's your decision brother.
I was gonna do the same and I said what the h*** for now I'll leave it. to clean it out totally you got to unplug it from the harness inside the engine compartment, then there's a hole in the fire wall plug that up ETC
This is how I looked at it it, it's not confirmed though, it sure looks that way in terms of unplugging from the wiring harness.

Injoy the holiday

You can remove it completely without harming anything. It's just for diagnostics, and unless you have the specific Army diagnostic machine, it does you no good.

Just follow every wire and remove it. No problem. I think I remember seeing a write-up on that somewhere.

The purists will hate you forever, of course.

Mine was zip tied under the dash when I bought the truck.

I put it back where it goes.

Based on the photos at http://www.hillbillywizard.com/cucv-and-k30-parts/cucv-diagnostic-port-with-wiring-harness/ you can just unplug it from the engine compartment and remove it easy peasy.
