Does my one have a list of supplies needed to do this. I couldn’t find an actual materials list in the articles about this mod. Thanks.

Finally got around to doing this. Was nice to be able to work on an improvement instead of fixing something because it broke. A few things from my view. To those who say it only takes a n hour, congratulations, you win the race. I'm a pretty competent wrench being an industrial mechanic/machinist by trade, but it took me an hour just to get it in the shop and unravel the loom. I don't rush when I'm doing my own work though either. Just saying to those who are gonna do this if you're saying to yourself, I've got an hour before I got to head to work so I can knock this out quick, you might want to wait till you have a little more time. My splice was glued together very tight. I could not get it apart. My AC noise was never that high to begin with and maybe that's partly why. Still good to get rid of that junk though. I'm not arguing for or against paralleling cables, but I did it. The guy who originally figured this out is much smarter than me. My word, it would take me the rest of my life to write one of his epistles on the subject so why not follow what he said. Can't hurt anything and I was at the shop to get the breaker anyhow so I had a pair of cables made up and used them. To each their own. I was a little confused with the last step in the simple article. It appeared to me that the old ground plug was to be used. I didn't want to use it so I cut it off at the battery only to realize the PCM splice was there. Oh well, now the @IBMobilePCM splice repair is done as well even though I didn't plan on it at that moment. In the end it's a lot cleaner. I need to get some smaller loom yet to run across the front. I was at .03acv and now depending which meter I use I'm between .017-.02avc. Just wanted to share my experience. One more off the never ending list.......

All that you describe is a good improvement..... an avenue for making your truck better than new, for guys that believe their truck is part of building a good savings account. 

I guess it is like a savings account. I mean, I'm always putting money into it :lol:

Would love to ask him but where is he? Flew the coop again?

Wait... You were looking at new trucks? I thought you were busy at work :think: or is that what you told the wife.
