How to Delete Fusible Links THE RIGHT WAY: Part 1 | 1st Gen Cummins 

Make sure to watch Part 2 to see how the fusible link delete turned out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2TnMJTJnF0Y.html

Thanks for taking the time to make this! Your driveway has one hell of a view man.

Just finished this exact job with alot of the same parts. The power wire that runs to the duck foot has a connector by the battery terminal, not a fuse. There is one by the alternator as well. Keep up the good work!

This video was really helpful. so many other video but none of them explained it like you did.

Nice! It's sick seeing other youtubers making 1st gen videos.

I actually got to see one of my links burn it was pretty funny. Now it works great. Great video.

I will keep this in mind. Just replaced a fusible link on a 1980s Kubota tractor. If it ever goes again I may try to fix it like you did.

thank, you so much for you're time and you're video 🙏

Hello i just watched your part1 & part2 regarding how to delete fusible link on your truck. It’s nice and i want to delete my fusible link also on my truck. Nice idea...

awesome informative video..Question where does the dashboard lights get power from ?

I've got a 85 Dodge Ram D-350 flat bed trk 360/727 I checked out all the fuses inside the glove box all of those colorful fuses checked out good but I never knew what the problem was after that I bought new everything for the trk trying to rule out the problem I only got 2 drives out of my trk I never got to put any miles on the trk it sat for 5 years it's only got 60 thousand miles on it because of these things called fuseable links I never knew this wow thank you so much 🙏

First off, thanks for the video,best I've seen on this fusible delete. I'm about to order everything I will need but would like to know how it has worked out for you over time, any problems? Thanks

Really good vid - thank you!

I just subbed you better keep the premo content coming bro.

You are the man bro, can’t thank you enough for you’r channel really helps!

Hey bud great vids very in depth thank u... so I bought an 93 d350 5 speed manual speedo and Odom not working everything else is ..I’m not confident in electrical but curious on where you would start looking..thanks again great job

Decent Gar: where to purchase led light bulbs for '91 Dodge inst. panel & also where to purchase speedometer gears? Thanks, Roger

Nice. I did the dodge dakota fuse box conversion. Turned out nice bit it was hard to tell my self to cut all those at first lol

Hey, really Informative video, I am in the process of doing this to my truck. I can't find that fuse box in stock anywhere, do you have any alternatives or a source? Would really appreciate it. Thank you!

Great videos broski. I have a 1988 d100 ram. It has crank but no spark. I replaced ecm, alternator, rotor, distributor cap, hall effect pickup, starter, starter relay, auto shut down relay, spark plugs, spark wires, map sensor, throttle relay, battery terminals, coolant sensor, oil sensor. man I have pretty much done everything I can think of. But I never knew about fusable links. I have checked and some look like they need replacement. Would following your delete videos work on my 1988'? Its not a Cummins and it's v6 3.9l 239.

I'm going over now to see part #2

Hi, I have watched this a hundred times, its been a great help but I have questions.... - The duck foot side with 2 wires, the thick 6 ga and the red....where does the red go ? To the fuse block? It seems to be for the hazaed flasher? - I have 2 black wires off my +battery terminal that go to the grid heater ....those stay put or are they fusible links too? Seems to go from skinny wire to heavier gauge so cant tell if its a link. - Your diagram shows 2 red wires that turn into 1 white wire, I dont have this? What option was it for that I may not have?

I'm having to the same with my 93 w250 what size fuses are u using ? i seen were the alt its a mega link. now the other fuses seems to use a 40 amp . is that block rated for that or, can u tell the run down on parts please?

Hello Thank you for the content you provide for the first gen Cummins Question where can I find a emc for a 91 dodge w250 any idea Thank you Martin

Thanks for the fantastic videos! Very timely as my '93 just burned up one of the links and I am stuck until I complete this work. You mentioned that you used a butt connector with a solder plug for the 6GA alternator wire. What connectors did you use for the ring and butt connections for the smaller gauge wires? Simple crimp connectors covered with heat shrink tubing or something else? Thanks!

I love this Video and its gonna be perfect to fix some issues i have with the Dash... I didn't see any Ground Cables running to the Big Fuse Box? So are you saying it doesn't need to be because the wires are already grounded? Just want to be sure so I dont burn up my truck. Thanks any feed back would be appreciated.

I understand what you're doing you're by passing the factory wiring and making you're own

Great videos! I just happened to have a Blue Sea Systems ST Blade ATO/ATC 12 Fuse Block that I purchased for my 4Runner that I never installed. I installed it in my new to me 91 W250 to replace a old and crusty fuse panel that was under the hood, but after watching your vids I have some questions. 1. Where did you get those stand-offs that you mounted the fuse blocks too? and 2. Did you connect the negative from the fuse blocks to the neg on the battery? I have heard some people say they connected the negative to chassis ground and was wondering if there is a big difference? I am probably going to buy the Blue Sea HUB 150 fuse block to do the fusible link delete on my 1st gen as well. Thanks in advance for the reply.

Hey I’m looking at removing the fusible links and also giving me the future connection points for misc upgrades such as lighting, stereo, etc. and wondering what drove you to the large Blue Seas safety hub with high current protection since you routed your alternator around it? What connection points are you putting through the high current (>50A) fuses? Awesome videos you’ve shared BTW.

Where did you get your battery cables? I need to replace mine and I plan on doing the fusible link delete and external fuse box etc. might as well get the right cables to begin with!

Could the fuse able links have anything to do with the gauge cluster, cause nothing on my gauge cluster works. And great on explaining how it’s done

Just wondering what size awg you used to feed both fuse blocks and the size for the alternator? Sorry if I missed it somewhere in the video!

Thanks for the video! Super long question and info to follow I am having a charging problem on my 91 w250. When it first started I put a new voltage regulator on and it fixed it, for about a week after putting four more on and having the same issue I decided that it was probably not just because I was buying aftermarket Napa voltage regulators so I put a new alternator on and that did not fix it then we put an internal voltage regulator on it and it didn't work so I watched this video and deleted the fusible links and am now having the same problem. I also cleaned all the grounds. If you have any ideas please let me know I'll try anything at this point.

The Duckfoot cable close to where it hooks to battery, is that just disconnect or was there a fuse in there. If there is a fuse what size is it supposed to be? Great video...!

Question about the diagram at 2:25. Is the gauge of wire listed for the fusable link being replaced, or is it for the extension wire leading to the harness? If the gauge listed is for the fusable link being replaced, how did you decide the gauge of wire to extend the harness to the new fuse box?

Any other fuse blocks out there to hold the 40 and 60 midi? Blue sea keeps cancelling order due to various reasons (out of stock, not passing inspection)

So you said you respond to every comment, I am hoping that is still true, seeing that these videos are a bit old. But I am needing a quick response since I have my hood up right now. I have a 2009 Pontiac G6 (I know a bit different than your truck lol) but it has one fusible link on it and it goes from the Starter to the Alternator. (At least that is what I can see and tell) I do believe the fusible link has blown causing the battery to die since the alternator is not getting proper power to charge the battery. My question is could I run a power line directly to the alternator from my positive battery terminal with maybe a fusible link attached there, right to my alternator?

One easy question, and not sure if it was asked already, but what kind of c-channel did you use for mounting the Blue Sea boxes to? Just plain aluminum stock from a hardware store? Does that help keep water off them? Thanks again! I subscribed!

So on the backside (power supply side) of the duckfoot. Is the red wire just a power supply to the relay I see that it runs directly to on of the fender mounted relays. Maybe I missed it did you address this in the video? Feel like I’m missing that

Those safety box 150's aren't available anymore, you must have bought the last one,lol, any suggestion as a substitute?

I have a 1991 cummins i have a slow drain i dont know where its coming from its driving me crazy i feel like it started when i switched my old battery out, any ideas what to look for thanks so much

I need to pick up one the factory service manuals.

Would I have to use that exact fuse block or would a different block work?

Great video(s)! I would love to do this but don't have the $$ right now. Does anyone know what is the name or where could I get that "duckfoot" since my AC wire has come out of it and I don't think it will attach properly. Thanks

Hey man I tried looking for the fuse box but they ran out any other recommendations ?

Tim, could I do this project without buying that OTHER fuse box you have installed there in the engine bay? Will everything from the duckfoot integrate into the blue seas 150 alone?

Hey Decent Garage, I just bought a 92 d350 that has some major electrical problems. I was hoping you could help me out. Also, is there another fuse box you would recommend because the blue sea is sold out.

I make my own battery cables I just buy the the top post battery clamps and I use welding leads

Hey decent garage, went to start my truck, dash light went dim and the white puff of smoke from under the hood and now I have no crank, no dash lights. Would this be from a fusible link going? 92 first gen

Damn! Camry needs an alt link the long blue fuse but it's definitely not worth to bypass last thing I wanna do is burn the fuse

People find it shocking that I'm not good with electrical work.

I Have a 1985 dodge d100 custom and my wiring is different colors than yours cant find any information on that

Could you not cut the duck foot out and replace it with a new duck foot?

Let's do one for a nissan 350 Z

great stuff...but what are your doing and WHY?.. . not explained very well
