[QUOTE="S76, post: 999906, member: 1349"] My apologies gentlemen. Been busier than a one armed paper hanger and haven't been on the board. No, I did not find any automotive connectors that fit. I found some automotive connectors that i was able to make them fit. The terminals I used are plain automotive #10 female terminals. The #8 wire just barely fit in them. They fit very tight on the RR lug. So tight I had to open up the connector "mouth" a little. But they do not fit the factory plastic plug. I had to cut off the plastic crimp protector, bend them a little, an then cut a little square in the terminal so the locking tang would engage. Then they fit in and locked, but the plug would not go on because they were canted at an angle and did not line up. A little tweaking and filing the mouth of the plastic connector bigger and then it fit. Goes on tight. For you plug and play people this probably isn't what you are looking for. But I consistently see 14.35 on cold idle and 14.18 to 14.22 down the road. The factory connectors just slid on and off very easily and I didn"t like it. So good to see all the people that are geting good results with this fix. Thanks again Don for pioneering this. Bob [/QUOTE]
