• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Slow windows.



you need a plumbers soldering torch to get them on, and a lot of solder lol. you heat the piss out of the new end, ( in a vice) and fill it 1/2 way with solder, flux the wires, and stick the stripped end into the hot melted solder, hold it till it cools and its on for life. add shrink wrap when its real cold, any heat makes them shrink fast.

search you tube for how to solder battery cables. its the best way. and you should get some shrink wrap tubes to seal it off good and tight, anther 5 busks or so.

thats why in going pre made, it saves a few bucks in the end. you'll be up paying 10 bucks more then me in the end im sure. not like its a lot of money, im just cheap lol

but making them just the right size is nice as well.
 
I'm just going to melt the solder into the wire and heat shrink tube it and wrap with electrical tape also and call it good.
 
Actually it looks like the connectors I bought are the crimp style, so I'll just try that. The power wire for my subs is crimped, I don't see why this shouldn't work again.
 


the truth is, crimped connectors suck. especially under the hood. solder is air tight, add the shrink tubes and its never gonna corrode on you. or come apart. unless you heat the piss out of it again.
 
picked up a 4 gauge 40 inch pre made wire today, 30 inch should be the best fit, but they went from 19, 24 to 40 and then up from there, 40 inches is a bit long but not to bad.

it was just getting dusk as i put the wire on, and i can say the interior dash lights are a tad brighter, the windows move maybe a tad faster. head lights look brighter for sure, but we shall see for real later when i go to park it later on. aka in the real dark.

cost 8 beans.
 
Yeah when the engine is not running there is not much change, but while driving with all lights and stereo going I noticed a big change. Hope that it helped yall out like it did for me. I forgot what forum I learned this trick off of two years ago.
 




Pretty sure I got a code from the alt to battery wire LOL. Not sure if it tripped the SES light since that was already on. It was worth it though.

Have you done the grounds yet?
 
haven't done the grounds yet, also have no codes being thrown around.

have noticed the best part is the daytime lights in the dash are brighter for sure. im liking that part so far the most.
 
nope, not scanning at all. im all stock, no real need to yet.

car runs fine short of the coolant loss due to a bad head gasket. still running like a raped whore lol
