Well finally getting around to replacing the burnt connector to the VC gasket. Does any body have any recommendations on how to do it? Should I solder it? or can I just use some good connecters?

Thanks

 

solder is always the best but typicly i use butt connectors and heat shrink

 

X2 what coon said the last time I did mine I used a butt connector heat shrink combo they are cool I don,t know where you can get them I got them from a friend that works for ford he said thats what they use typically on there repairs

 

x3 on butt conectors and heat shrink. I just did mine that way. And if you havent got the conectors Powerstrokeshop.com has them. I can never find them from there site I always do a search here and in one of the post there is a direct link in it.

 

Thanks guys! I know soldering is the prfered way but me and the soldering iron dont get along to well and normally end up with burnt wires and fingers. I wanted to make sure if I did use butt connectors, I wouldn't be doing it again down the road because I half a$$ed it the first time.

Thanks again!

 

I dont like butt connectors because they are alluminium and will corrode in time. When I do wiring that will get moisture around it I just bare the wires, spred them apart like a blossom them put the blossomed ends together twist cover with 2 layers of heat shrink first layer slightly longer thean wire area then second enough to cover 1st layer. this method has never failed me in 10 plus years of repairing wiring on semi trucks n trailers and os virtually like original wire. Good luck For connector goto powerstrokeshop.com and get the phone # easier to call than find on site I do have part # but will take alittle time to find.

 

Got it PART # 99-8470 listed as repair harness NOT pigtail or other definition.

 

I use Raychem solder sleeves, solder and heatshrink in one step. Mouser catalog 125C come in 3 dia. Mouser ships for free even if you buy $1 wort.
