electrical tape everywhere?
I've removed a few wires in my truck that the PO installed. It seems that every bit of this truck has been F'ed with. Ever inch of wiring is wrapped in electrical tape and I'd like to know if it was this way from the factory.

I guess it's both black electric tape and non sticky black wrap. The whole rear of the truck is wired with a cheap trailer wiring kit. Lots of wires have the plastic melted off and a couple of the multi wire connectors are melted. It's a mess.

mine was the same way. i ended up using an american autowire harness and rewired the whole thing. there are other usable brands, too. good luck. and if you have to cover some wires in the future i recommend you use shrink wrap if at all possible.
