I have been wiring trucks and trailers, which see all kinds of conditions and are subject to road salt etc., for 40 years and pretty much tried them all. The all round best and most reliable, is to use bare metal crimp connectors and slip over heat shrink tubing. It is very important to use a good quality pair of crimp pliers, that actually stake as well as crimp. Do not use those cheap multipurpose types, they are garbage. Then slip over the heat shrink tubing, use double wall tubing with the hot melt sealer in it. Sometime I even put a bit of dielectric grease in the connector before assembly. The trouble with soldering is it only works well if the wires are fairly new and untarnished. Otherwise the solder will not penetrate and bond properly. Also if a joint over heats the solder can melt and let go. I do not at all recommend scotchlock connectors or the crimp type with insulation already on them. Unless you are using them in a dry location. Then you will have the problems that crimp connectors are notorious for In the attachments are 2 crimp pliers of the type I recommend one is made by Thomas and Betts, the other by channel lock. There are also some very good ratcheting types that are available but very expensive. I also attached a picture of a butt connector one which was installed with the black and orange handled crimper. Notice the dimple in the crimp. Also if you wish you can apply some solder to them to seal them better

battery tender hook up
saddlebum replied to Sandbagger's topic in Royal Star Venture Tech Talk ('99 - '13)
Those are standard directions for any battery charger or booster cables. It is simply a safety measure. Should there be hydrogen gas fumes around the battery and a spark occurs while connecting the battery, the dang thing could explode. I have seen this happen a couple of times in shops were I have worked. Generally though if you connect to the battery first then plug the charger in last you should not have any issues. However if you smell that rotten egg scent around the battery, Be very carefull -
That would not be a problem if our government was not giving it away to illigal immigrants and phony refugees. Just for the record I have no issue with legitimate immigrants or refugees that are willing to come here to live and let live, and earn there keep like the rest of us.

Put it plain and simple if it is cranking the engine over without hesitation run it untill it dies. A battery is easy to come by any where so when it starts giving you trouble you can always change it then. Here is a little tip for the average joe. If you notice that when at a stop and your engine is just idling, your heater motor starts to drasticly slow down or your headlights start to dim, then perk up as you speed up the engine, when you pull away, you may have a weak battery and should get it checked. If not your still good to go.

Wrong ...He was scared, and as a result too cautious. . If you notice, he backed off the throttle for a second just before the ramp. He was beat before he even started. He should have just give it to her or not tried at all. When you do stuff like that there is no half way, its all or nothing.

I am fully in favour of putting an end to people running red lights. In my mind they are far more dangerous then people who drive fast. That goes for those who refuse to stop at stop signs or prior to entering a roadway from a driveway or parking lot as well. But what about motorcycles who do stop at red lights and after a reasonable wait, go through them because they do not change for the motorcycle.

My father continues to hang on the edge. At this point he has been returned to ICU for the third time. He is back on the breathing machine which is connected directly to the trachea tube, and they continue to remove copious amounts of fluid from his lungs. His blood pressure and heart rate are all over the chart changing from one minute to the next. Mentally he has almost totally lost touch, not aware of where he is or who we are with the exception of Mom. Some days we have hope and other days we wonder if he will be with us tomorrow. Tues they were supposed to put a feeding tube directly into his stomach inserting it through his side just below the rib, because he keeps pulling the one which enters through his nose out. It was delayed because whatever nurse last installed his catheter, put it in wrong and he became backed up to the point were he was very bloated. It seems every time he is moved from the ICU to the ward he takes a turn for the worse. The strain although it is affecting all of us is really starting to show on my Mom.
