Cheap Fusible Links Delete! First gen Dodge Cummins fuse box install

[@jeepindave5464]

I thought most 12 valves ran off a house light switch? Lol good job. I like the tow rig videos sprinkled in.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

😂 thanks, seems like they are.

[@mattcullifer7505]

Been looking for a good video to assist in doing this to my first gen. Great job.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks and good luck. It’s been over a year and I have had no issues. Everything is exactly the same as when I finished that video.

[@msoul3248]

This video was so helpful. I have a 93 that I have been chasing the tail of an electrical problem. With the symptoms I’m getting I either have a relay or ecm issue but doing this is now on my list.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Best thing I did to the truck by far🤟🏻

[@imzackson]

As an experienced tech may i suggest putting a wire diagram in the glove box and label the box that it's in there. I've repaired vechicles like this when the owner is not around or not capable and they can be a bit annoying to diagnose in a hurry. Me annoyed = customer pays more. Great video as usual

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks, I will be putting a diagram on the cover and one in the glove box.

[@imzackson]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 Great would love to see some wheeling videos sometime too.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

I have a lot of wheeling videos on the channel, just none in the last couple months. But they will starting back up very soon

[@travismcvey]

While I'm not knocking your soldering method the way I like to do it is to slightly splay the ends so they can be meshed together. I then put a twist in the joint to help mechanically lock it together before soldering. I also like to use heat shrink with the goo in it that seals up the connection to create a water tight bond. Lastly there is a product called Tessa Tape. It's an OEM like fabric tape that's designed for automotive applications, and the exterior version doesn't get gooy and soft with age/heat like electrical tape does. I did a kinda similar project on my Jeep. However what I did was pull a PDC from a same model and disassemble the whole thing to use the terminals in my original PDC to add circuits in the blank spaces. I now have several additional fused circuits for accessories as well as a couple of additional relays right in the PDC.

[@messix7768]

that was some ambitious stuff right there

[@danielmagalhaes5739]

The patience you have!!! After all that work hope next year you get to KOH!! Keep up!!

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Lol, thanks

[@danhambrick6331]

Loved the Duck every time you said "Duck Foot"...🤣😂🤣😂👍👍

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

🤣 I couldn’t help myself

[@ernestoale7256]

Do you want to do the Re wire on my 93 D-250

[@DaddyJeepGarage]

Pretty much any 90's PDC is laid out like that and are great upgrades to older stuff. I am running a TJ PDC just to run all of my auxiliary stuff. It works great, is pretty tidy, and is a whole lot cheaper than an SPOD.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Yup, it’s basically the same box that’s in my Tj too.

[@decentgarage]

Nice job man! Came out clean for sure!

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Thanks man, I appreciate it👍🏻

[@bradwilson6122]

This is absolutely Excellent work! Great Engineering! I have all the stuff for awhile just need to Get R Done!

[@decentgarage]

I used the blue seas 150 safety hub. It was more pricey than this but came out clean for sure.

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Yea, I watched your video a few times, lol. The safety hub 150 was very difficult to find. No one had it in stock when I was looking and I needed that week. So I went looking in the junkyard. It was more work, but I really like having the relays in the same box as well.

[@Silpheedx]

Well done. Going to do the same to mine

[@metalisawesome2811]

Pretty sweet, I just about have this Fusible link delete done. I got a Power Distribution Block (PDB) from a 97 ford explorer, so mine is a bit different, but similar. I bought one of those headlight relay kits, the relays are a 4 pin type, while the relays on the PDB are a 5 pin, can I use those 5 pin relays in the PDB and could you explain that if you can?

[@piasprojects]

Awesome job! Modernizing the electronics on an old reliable Diesel Truck!

[@jeremydavidson6982]

So did you cut the wires from the relays that went back to a fuse? I got a newer box with a 175 amp mega fuse on the side so I’m trying to figure this out lol

[@jimtarutis8018]

THANKS FOR SHARING

[@67coronetman]

Nice i am going to do the same to my 1993 W150 318 gas truck after mine failed and i was stuck on the side of the road.

[@wmforester007]

how did you decide on the "94 ford/mazda? I just found a '96 & am going to the yard in the am to look at it

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

Doesn’t matter which one, as long as it has fuses, relays and wire size you need. I read about this fuse panel in a forum. I think a 96 would be the same anyways.

[@wmforester007]

@@MuddyBeards4X4 thank you

[@stevenbean9706]

where are all the grounds supposed to go ?

[@ebalmes]

You know, it’s essential to listen to mxpx southbound I-5 WHILE driving south on I-5. Maybe that’s why the dodge decided it was done? I make sure to listen anytime I’m on the left side of the state

[@beaufubm5983]

I would have completely charged that battery, I use a ship to shore charger I got from Advance for about $65.00. First I charge and check it with the charger on 15 amps completely,,then let it rest and charge it at 3 amps until 100%. You don’t want your alternator to have to charge a dead or weak battery.

[@michaelrivera5694]

What color are the relay wires for automatic shutdown, starter and a/c

[@jassonco]

RESPECT!

[@jimmungai1938]

Do you know if somebody would make a print out of what you just showed on your KZbin video you know the wiring harness and the color different colors for the different wires for that if you had a print out a little book I’d be willing to pay good money for it I have a 91.5 dodge and I’m having a problem overcharging between 14.5 to 15.2 and I’ve done everything I could think of to try to fix the problem and I don’t know what to do anyway I appreciate what you’re doing thank you oh this is six in a row jim From Kennerdell Pennsylvania

[@donknoles3142]

Could someone tell me what to do with the pink wire that I believe is hooked to the battery and goes to a fusable link that is not hooked to the duck foot and goes through the firewall after leaving the fusable link.

[@redlined9192]

Where to get the fuse box?

[@stevenbean9706]

my 91 has insane power issues ! mopar sucks at wiring they literally destroyed an indestructible truck with garbage wiring.

[@MikeMac90]

I dont know if having ford wiring is any better 🤣

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

🤣 at least it’s still American made

[@TheDevonwurz]

I'm part navajo too lol

[@MuddyBeards4X4]

🤣

[@Mr2eyedjack]

You, Jaaann too?.. lol..

Stopped watching the second you said ford
