There is actually a better way now. You can buy a fuse block that is a lot easier to install, you can find them on Amazon, ebay, rock auto, etc. Thanks for watching.
I placed colored tape along the fuse bank to coordinate with the wires coming out of the box, Not sure what mean by "duck foot" Wires coming in lead to each fuse bank while wire going out are fused. However I have seen other methods to replacing fusible links with better set ups search them out. I did this because it's what I had available at the time, and figured I would share it because it could work as an alternative for more fuses. Thanks for watching.
Sorry we are in a deep freeze here in Wyoming as of now. like 30 below wind chill; My truck is in the barn and have to get back to you later. Thanks for watching.
I have seen other ways of doing this with better upgrades. Do a web search on 1st gen Dodge diesel fusible links. Lots of good drawings and diagrams. Thanks for watching.
Here is that block ^^^^ I was talking about, I just started with lower fuses until they popped and kept adding bigger amperage to keep them from blowing.
not being an ass but that's a horrible idea. fusible links are designed to take momentary spikes in amps. now a fuse is designed to pop at the first sign of a amperage Spike now the breakers are acceptable. but for all those out there trying this there going to need some more insight before they get frustrated with blown fuses
Like I said in video we since replaced most of the fuses with breakers, and never ever had any problems. Fusible links were a short lived stupid design from the beginning. I will be replacing mine soon on my truck.
I've watched DeBosses setup. And I'd have to say your setup is better. Gonna do my 91 the same way. Thanks for the idea!!! God Bless Preacher!!
It's been holding up all this time, Thanks for watching.
I really appreciate this video!
Thank you!
I have relays but am swapping to fuses instead. 😁

The color coated box is that the color of the wires and im guessing that was the duck foot??

Great work! Very organized!! Liked !!
Thanks working great so far.
Did you do Anything red wire from relay? Also Red wire /white stripe non fusable from factory? Any help appreciated

should of put silicone around the large crimp before you put the shrink wrap on it. In Iowa the water will get to any wiring.
They make heat shrink with water protection for water wells, you can pick up a 3 pack for around 5 bucks at any hardware store. Good idea.
Can you add some up to date pictures or another video zooming in on what wire goes where etc.?

Good job, better than factory.
+Tyler Ovens Thanks.
Are you going to do something like this? I know that you make amazing and helpful videos.
great job got any 1st gen parts for sale.
Thanks for watching, on the parts for sale, Sorry not at the moment, but let me know what your after and if I see anything I will let you know.
So I'm about to do this to my truck. What amp fuses did you use?
There is a better way to do this now. A company makes a block to replace it. Try the hungry Diesel. hungrydiesel.com
The Blue Collar Preacher yea I couldn't find anything on that. Any other places to check?

I'd take Taiwan over China. Think when things are made. Like Harbor freight stuff.

I don't know how short lived fusible links were since they were used for many, many years and are still being used.
