Quick question, probably asked a thousand times...

We experinced this first hand after driving our prototype drivetrain a little too much last year. Check out this thread for my solution: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...9&postcount=21

Wow! I really didn't expect so many posts!
First off, let me tell you the deal. I wrote that post in a fit of rage when I ran out of 10 guage wire when the leads I was soldering to was 12 guage. I had plenty of 12 guage, but no 10. I, in my madness, went off, as I stated, 'on a tangent', and started ranting. I knew the answer, and saw the wisdom, but that was after I found more 10 guage.
Thanks for all the info. I didn't realize that the wiring specs didn't apply to downstream. That's interesting.

Again, thanks for helping me get through the madness!

And of course, that was the way it was written and thus done in 2004.
Who knows what 2005 will bring?

Maybe a change, maybe not.
