Proper installation of a "fuse block"
I purchased a fuse block to install in my Silverato 2500 HD, and would
like to install it "properly". So if you guys can share what are the guidelines for mounting it in a workmanlike manner, safely and conveniently, I would like to know. Also where would you tie it in. To battery directly? Do I need (as I think) to also have an inline fuse on a wire that is feeding the fuse block? Thanks a lot! i |

If its real close it may not need a main fuse. Whats the chance of the fusebloc comming apart? Too many fuses is not good. greg |

I am done with a part of this work, which is attaching wire to battery and getting it into the cab of the truck. Turns out there is a nice place that s easy to drill and leads right into the cab. I used military 10 gauge stranded nickel plated wire, crimped terminals. Inside the engine compartment, the wire is protected by a wire sleeve. In the area where the cable enters the cab, I put two layers of heat shrink tubing to protect the cable from abrasion. For now, inside I terminated the cable with female spade terminal. I also made a distribution box from a 6 pole fuse block and a 12 pole terminal block mounted on a piece of plywood. 6 poles of the 12 pole terminal block are used to conduct the positive to the fuse block, and six relaining poles are for negative. I have not yet installed this distribution block. It will be covered. i |
