Re: leason learned - disconnect battery!
Great mistakes guys.I really mean that.If you make these little mistakes once in a while then you get careful enough to avoid the big ones.

Re: leason learned - disconnect battery!
do you have an ampmeter in your truck BUCKET? They are always live even with the key off and as far as i know are not fused. This is probably the wire that cooked

Re: leason learned - disconnect battery!
let me know what wire you need and if you can't easily make a new one, I am scraping my cab wiring harness and can mail you pieces if needed, no cost if it fits in a regular envelope...shipping only otherwise

Re: leason learned - disconnect battery!
A kid here burned down his garage, a Jeep, and half of his house when his starter wires arched and ignited the fuel that was leaking out of the carb. One of the tanks from a oxy/acet. set went through the garage wall.
