Can you do a more in depth video on this, and show witch wires you ran to where? I'm about to do this on my truck and would like to see a little bit more about it
Me too
Deboss, thanks for all the help and knowledge.
Wow, you're very knowledgeable! I sure wish you could fix my electrical issues on my 89 Dodge d100. The ground on the back firewall is fried to a burnt crisp, and the dash lights work on-and- off whenever they feel like it (I definitely have a short that I can not find)...
I know youre on the fight track with the circuit breakers now I know why my Harley has them,i have a host of problems with my 92 d250 v6 gas motor,thank you for letting me see the mess mopar engineered,i was trained by them early in the 70's they've always had electrical problems every fricken year thanks again, now I will repair my truck to run
Please can you upload more videos on this, and show which wires you ran to where? I'm about to do this on my truck and would like to see more about it, especially the wiring including the starter relay. I have my 1991 d0dge ram 350 and all the wires is modified by the previous owner and i want to restore the wiring in its factory wiring connection. The truck is cranking but it wont start.
Brilliant! Where is that section of wire on an 1988 Dodge B250 Van?!
So, for the alternator. I just run it like the rest of the breakers? I'm only running 1 battery.
First off I'm liking your vids I just subscribed. Wondering if you could help me . I got a 93 dodge250 it starts and idles with zero hesitation. After a couple it runs worse and worse . I give it gas and it wants to die. After five minutes it just dies . It feels like its flooding but I dont smell gas. Any ideas?
looking for the breaker is that 4 individual ones or is there a 4 or 6 post one..any chance for a link to it
Hey deboss what issue's was this rig have n i may need to do this to mine
81 ram charger, I have a drain on the battery. I found that it’s my timing light stays on. The little light on the ignition that supposed to turn off after a few seconds when shutting the door. I pulled the fuse so it stops draining the batt. But now I don’t have interior lights or dash. Where is that wire located and what’s the best way to fix that issue? Thank you.
would this solve gauges changing when thing like ac and radio turned on and off or does that sound more like a ground ?
Hey Filthy Rich,
I would love to replace the fusible links on my dodge and your video is great. Can you quickly explain what type of circuit breaker that is? How do you know what amps the fusible links are that trying to replace? I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to vehicle electronics. Thanks!
+Matt D It should say on the fusible link what amperage it is. If you can't read it, turn every accessory in the car on (all lights, fan, radio,wipers, have someone rolling the windows up and down) and then cut the fusible link. This will tell you what circuits are on that link. Put an amp meter between the cut wires and see what the draw is. Put a slightly higher circuit breaker where the fusible link was. The alternator will need the biggest at 150 amps but the rest should be 15 and 20 amps.
Thanks for the info! Your the best
Can you delete the voltage regulator and convert it to a chevy style internal regulator alternator to get ride of the fire starter box keeps blowing light bulbs
We're are you in the u.s. ? I have a 93 w350 that needs some wires cleaned up, thanks for content.
Could you do a video talking about the differences in a getrag 5 speed and an nv4500 5 speed? Maybe even include the 5600 too, would love to know the differences and best uses for each, love the channel!
Getrag go boom
@@crazycoffeemy getrag no boom
@@Florida_man420 my pre boom then boom more
@@crazycoffee uh oh I hope mine no go boom but it hasn’t gone boom yet and I’ve been beating on it for about 3 years

Im restoring a 1st gen ram . The previous owner used home solid core wire to wire allot of stuff up. I was thinking of grabbing a fuse panel and wiring my own panel . Thoughts?
The kind with the porcelain fuses you have to screw in.
my power is working fine, but this is great future proofing! this build is awesome.
How is it future proofing? EMP?
Hi I have a question I swap my 82 Chevy 3500 2wd. With 93 12v 1gen A518 automatic transmission my question is do I need the computer N original wiring harness to run it. ? Thanks
I'm planing on doing this soon. What size breakers do you recommend?
I was also wondering this. I have a 91 W150 -318 gas motor , from the wiring diagrams I believe 20amp breakers would be correct . My diagrams unfortunately don't give a rating on the fusible links but what they supply are fused at 20 amps.
Can you go more into depth about this? I’m not having wiring issues in my truck, I just want to make it to where it’s very unlikely to have issues.
I have a 89 dodge van with no lights but runs great any ideas
Hey boss I'm having issues wit my 1st Gen 91 manufacturer date 12/90 wit my charging system new alternator new battery an on my sec voltage regulator that just shyt I brought to parts store the hooked it up to battery an tool said bad voltage regulator well it was only 4 days old an the one before crapped out to the guy I bought from said he fryed the 1st one an sudgestions . An on completly dif sub what to know it all transmissions 89 threw 93 are compadable wit my w250 4x4 Cummings diesel standard an automatic
would that be the same for a 1979 gasser
Why would I want a truck that needs an I-T tech to fix, and all kinds of EPA garbage on it. Stick to your First Gen Boss. Also I like your idea here, I was going to tap in an extra fuse block here on my kids new old 93 1st gen. but I am going your route.
+The Blue Collar Preacher Glad I could help.
So I did the same exact thing. I have one question. What amp Circuit breakers did you use?
Did you ever figure it out?
@@Florida_man420 yeah ripped it all out and did Ron Francis wiring harness and MDS. was tired of messing with other peoples half ass shit jobs and did it myself.
What amp breakers did you use
My trucks previous owner did such a bad hack job on the wiring harness the truck would stall and not hold a charge. I just got a whole new one. And it has worked ever since
I'm confused around 2:20 you said you run your glow plug wires? don't these engines have a intake heater and no glow plugs?
Blake Wadington cmon, you know what he meant. obviously he knows it’s a grid heater not glow plugs as well. He’s taking the time out show/teach people something, really had to call him out on it?
Blake Wadington I still call them glow plugs. To me and my group it’s like calling a soda a “coke”. We all know what he means.
Blake Wadington yo wassup boss
Excellent!!
I wish I could see that done ,I wonder if gas 318 is the same on the inner fender wires.
it is
Is there a diagram somewhere that shows what color wires go where? I've got a 92 D250 that someone had completely jacked up the harness and twisted wires together and I'm trying to fix it. I get a battery draw on something and the headlights go out from time to time along with the truck just dying. I would like to do the same thing you did on this Cummins but I'm unsure of what is suppose to be a positive feed and what's not. Any help is appreciated.
And I thought I was the only one with were some idiot came and cut out the sections of the harness in that exact spot and ended up cutting a few other things imagine thinking there was copper In the brake lines, dipstick tube and the fuel line. Also grab the radiator too. Almost got it back to normal though.....
So I did this cause I had to. Now one of the 40 amp circuit breakers is popping when I turn the key. I'm lost.
I have checked all grounds and taken the whole dash apart. I'm not seeing the problem. I even replaced the asd relay. Nothing.
Anyway you can provide a list of materials that you used for this project?
Thanks.
+Zach Noll The circuit breakers are the big items. Make sure you have at least a 50 amp if you are running your alternator through it. I just hooked my alternator straight to the second battery. Heat shrink ring terminals for the 14 and 12 gauge wire and eyes for the 10 gauge wire I had in the shop. I gutted an old broken fuse and put a 3/8 bolt through it with some silicone and you are off to the races.
+DEBOSS GARAGE Thanks i appreciate it. One more question. You dont recommend anything higher than 50amp for the alternator? From what i can find in my service manual the factory fusible link is something like 150amp for the alternator.
+Zach Noll that sounds right. I didn't think the alternator pit out that much but I didn't look into it as I hooked the alternator directly to the second battery
@@DEBOSSGARAGE Correct me if I am wrong. You are completely removing the fuse able links and using the 4 circuit breakers instead? Are all the circuit breakers 50 amp?
I guys have good information here ima steal some if u don’t mind 😆
Wish I had a mechanic around here as knowledgeable as rich. Nobody around here has knowledge on these old trucks
My 92 D250 won’t charge,won’t go to overdrive,and “Wait to start engine” won’t turn off,and you don’t hear the enjectors when you first turn key on. Wait3 to 6 days and it will all work. Replaced battery,alternator,crank sensor and new6 gauges wire for ground from block to frame. Never fails to star but I need help,any ideas.
Your pcm is bad.
Hey Rich do you have a link to the breakers you use?
Did you find it?
Can someone suggest what type of circuit breaker to use? I am doing this repair. Thanks!!!
Still waiting to do the repair I don't know what kind of circuit breaker this is...
Look down in the comments it’s suggested “50amps if you’re running your alt through it.
Does the hood hinge clear all that?
Need to run fusable links to a fuse box there is a video for that
If that fusible link gets corroded, could that cause the alternator to overcharge?
no its either the external or internal voltage regulator , if its a gasser its on the fire walla and if its a cummins its in the computer , have your alternator fitted with a regulator and shell be good
Fix all my first gen problems? Aka everything electronic in the entire truck? Lol ill have to give this a shot, i have lost everything and i am tired of fixing it all one at a time. Headlights, windshield wipers, it destroys speedos in like... a week... ugh the first gen struggle.
No kidding. I have an '89 W-150 4x4. The only issue currently is the brakes lights which are a gamble that they may or may both work. That plus the interior dome keeps burning out. No one has been of help, not the forums, not the auto electric garages. The trouble is whatever solution is found will work only for a while, maybe even a minute. But it's a great truck with very low miles. I'm getting to the point of building a whole new wiring harness.
cummins built the best so a bunch of idiots could over complicate a wiring system that never works and never did work properly from day one i know i owned one new and they build junk elecrical
systems
Is this also a problem on gas trucks?
yes
Would you be able to send me a guide/diagram of the wiring you did here so I can do it myself on my truck?
Ol peg definitely warned of this
Very good video however "Hydro" is the prefix of water. You should use the word "electricity" it would make more sense to those less... well, Northern. Hydro electric power is Energy created by falling water.
The power company that supplies us electricity is called "Haldimand Hydro". We live close to Niagara Falls
Kept having trouble with my headlights going out they would heat up and go out a friend of mine told me it was a ground problem so I grounded my headlights on each side on the black wire stop having trouble with my headlights don't have problems with the headlights no more
So I did this and my battery is charging at 17.20 volts so I’m confused
A little more info would be nice, for us that are electricity challenged.
I wish i could find my fusible link assuming i have one
It's attached to the battery 😁
Did u still use the starter relay? I see where the wire splits off but the starter relay is connected to it, can I get rid of it all together?
+ThePlayer312 I did. I wired it up as it was just eliminating the fusible links.
my truck is a disaster! all the wires are crispy and fragile you touch em and they break ! just lost my running lights !! why all these one time fusable links and all this wiring going to nothing i've literally gotta rewire the whole truck
So I did this lol. Now my gauge cluster does not work.
Check the fuse
I miss dual terminal batteries!
hydro? you must be from ontario...
+canadacatalyst I've heard several Canadians refer to electricity as hydro. It annoyed me at first, not so much anymore.
No shit!! WTF is Hydro? As far as what this idiot is talking about
Hydro is anyone dumb and close to Trudeau
You are the fuckin man .that's what I'm talking about..I have a 05 ram 1500 just put a 5.9lgas in it.how can I wire it easy ..ty
Why does all the lights keep blowing
cause mopar doesn't know how to wire anything simple they over complicate it and put in junk fusable links everywhere
Hmmm
Hydro?
Right? No one says hydro when it comes to vehicle electrical except simps.
@@dh66 simp in this instance must mean MFer who knows what he's talking about.
This guy I guarantee has spent enough money on this truck to buy a nice 3rd gen dually by now.
+themosinkid95 How many people do you know with a 3rd Gen? How many people do you know with an 85 4wd CC diesel? Since our dollar tanked, all our used vehicles are heading south. They are ridiculously expensive. A buddy of mine drives only F150's with his company. The dealer offered to buy back his 2011 with 160 000 km on it for $21k . They still have to make money on the resale after that. We did go over budget because absolutely everything was broken, but he still well under a 5 year old truck cost.
+DEBOSS GARAGE hey don't get me wrong, I would love to have something unique like that, and I've enjoyed watching you're progress on it, I've learned a lot from your videos.
*Throws crappy cheapo relay* Totally something I would do. lol
hydro? wtf is "hydro"?
except this is a 2nd generation ram. there were no 1st gen diesels 1st gen: D/W 100, 200, 300... 2nd gen D/W150, 250, 350... 3rd gen D/W 1500, 2500, 3500...
I see where you're coming from and you are correct on the body styles, but for the purpose of this reference and most others with the subject, "1st Gen" is referring only to the Dodge trucks that came with the Cummins Turbo Diesel. If you look at anything dealing with the diesel truck industry.... forums, aftermarket, etc. that is the standard...only Cummins power plants. I may be a year or two off here or there, but basically:1st Gen- '89-'932nd Gen- '94- '023rd Gen-'03- '084th Gen- '09- Present
Hydro Electric Powered Dodge?
How Liberal! How Green of you!
Trudeau and Wynne would be proud!
