What did you do to your truck today?

[thunderstruck]

Changed the rear end gear oil with AMSOIL Severe Gear.

something that doesn`t melt, was going to try the style that used the tube fuses.

Then definitely stay away from the glass fuse holders!!

IMO, use blade-style (ATO, ATC) fuses for low-current circuits under 40 amps and wafer-style fuses (ANL, AFS) for high-current circuits over 40 amps.

I`ve had three blade style ATOs melt

last one was even a maxi fuse, melted at the blade connections too.

How many amps are you pulling?

 

[Stumpuller6.5]

i beleive they pull up to 9 amps, but i guess i should clamp it one day and see.

Where are your fuses mounted?

Try crimping the sockets in the blade fuses holder so they clamp the fuse tighter. Believe me, you'll have much worse luck with glass fuse holders.

I really wish ANL/AFS fuses were made smaller than 40 amps, they are the best hands down.

the fuse it about 8" from the battery the cable is maybe 24" long

I clamped the maxi fuse, and it melted. do you have a pic of the anl/afs fuse style kyle?

Drove it to town and back

You probably get a lot of heat in there, though...

how does that style hook to the wires?
