New England B.S. Thread

Awesome thanks for you help mike. I am going to go with 25a and 12 gauge to be safe.

 

Mike i have been copying you posts and saving them in my notes in my phone for reference haha, so i wont have to many more questions, you covered most of it. Althoughhh i was wondering one more thing. You said i have to make sure the add a circuit is oriented the right way, and i qoute

Power should travel up the left pin in the picture above, across the fuses, then either back down the right pin or out the wire. You need a test light or some where to know which side of the fuse power is being fed to. If you install them backwards, they will still work, but power then has to travel across the bottom fuse, then across the top fuse and out the wire. Essentially, your bottom fuse would then be carrying the load for the original circuit and the new circuit and could become over loaded. Then, if the bottom fuse blows, you lose both circuits.

If installed correctly, the stock circuit would be protected by the bottom fuse and the new circuit would be protected by the top fuse. You could blow either fuse and the other circuit would still be in tact and functioning.


You said i need a test light? Or can i use a volt meter to make sure it is installed correctly?

 

Thanks for the pic, our trucks are very similar. Cool to see what they would look like!

 

I'm running my 42 with a 20a fuse

 

Find the 4Runner haha. 104 trucks in total!

 

I said a test light because you can figure out what side of the fuse is the feed and which part goes to the accessory. I suppose you could make it work with a volt meter, you just need to figure out which side is the hot side of the fuse block so you can install the add-a-circuit correctly.

 

Too easy... front and center.

 

Trans gear oil was nasty YUCK

 

I got lucky, my buddy who builds cars was in advanced auto when i went in to buy electrical stuff and he walked me through it.

 

Nice!

 

And i saw this haha

 

You could stuff a watermellon in there and not even clog it

 

So many inappropriate jokes come to mind

 

Whenever i see those trucks with huge stacks im tempted to throw shit in there haha

 

i smell horrible
changed diffs, t case, trans all redline MT90 redline
flushed brake fluid all new
changed oil
bled and changed clutch fluid

 

Ill never do that trans again I'd rather pay someone. Filling it was a royal bitch. The hose blew off and I got an eye full of gear oil. Does hurt it feels really weird. Truck feels like new and It should for $300 in fluids

 

That's what she said

 

This might be a stupid question, can i ground wires or maybe even multiple wires to an existing ground point, like where the battery is grounded.

 

Saw this on the highway. Putting it to good use.

 

Sure can. Actually, using a known good grounding point can really help with trouble shooting.
