Biff, did you ever fix that electrical gremlin?
Today I mounted a 200amp continuous duty solenoid and made some custom 3/0 cables to tie the two batteries together. Tomorrow I need to wire the solenoid to a switch and I should be dual battery operational.
With this much juice under the hood, I am concerned about a potential meltdown. I installed quick disconnect terminals on the negative posts for emergency purposes and am in the process of sourcing a 500amp ANL fuse (time delay) and holder that can accommodate the 4/0 cable I have going to the 8274 winch. No one seems to sell anything that large, so I may be making my own; should be interesting.
Also installed the little PS cooler I got from LKQ yesterday.
Everything seems to be coming together nicely although the family is less than pleased about the excessive amount of time I have spent in the garage lately.
