    THIS^^^^^

    But yes, I have been selling these for people for some time on the interwebz lately. Lots of happy people. Plus I saw he had 5 relays already. By the looks of it, that is the final configuration. The footprint of his current setup is nice, yet bigger than what these are.

    Plus, there is a waterproof fuse block there, and he is heat shrinking everything. So by my observation skills, I would gather that he is going for a waterproof design.

    BUT - he defeated himself with the non waterproof relays there. In that configuration, when moisture hits, they are laying in a pool of water. When you mount them vertically, even in a non waterproof component, they are less likely to fail due to the ability for water and moisture to drip off of them and the wires. Effectively draining them.

    IF he was to keep his design the way it currently is,. I would lookinto getting the Hella waterproof relays with the waterproof harnesses. Or look into waterproofing his current relays with some Hot Melt (hot glue, glue gun).

    In the current config, the DTF (duration til failure) is drastically increased.

    An assumption here also. Guessing that all this was mounted on the passenger side due to its size and not wanting it on the drivers side for that reason. With the small footprint of this one I sell, it is about the dimensions of a deck of cards just taller. In having it on the passenger side, it can and will cost more money, negligible to most, but still the extra money having to be spent in wire to get everything on that side is not optimal. Shortest runs are best. Easier to trouble shoot in a fault too.

    All the connections on these are 100% water tight. Each wire is terminated with a ratcheting crimper and I take my time to not make mistakes. The cover is sealed with a silicone gasket making it water tight also. On the bottom, there are 2 lugs for +/-. Not to mention that these are infinitely configurable since I use the SPDT Relays. You can also add Resistors, breakers, diodes, and other atm mini form factor components.

    They look OEM and inconspicuous in the engine bay too. Nice, small and clean.

    I can't get on here and not want to spend large sums of money. And it doesn't even matter how much I do to my truck I want more. I feel like a drug addict but with truck parts.

    Howdy guys. Any of yall close to Suffolk or western branch area have a scan/ultragauge? I changed the plugs in my truck 2 days ago and on the way to work it started misfiring only while pulling up a few of the hills. Only thing is its not throwing a check engine light???? Would a scan Guage even work to tell me which cylinder it's on or should I just pull and replace them all again?:(
