Those 3 things on the positive battery terminal are circuit breakers, 50 amps each and in parallel they are 150amps total. Its not possible to pull more amps than that. Great video, I'm planning on doing the exact same thing on my truck. Thanks!!
Thanks for the feedback... I went with the 175amp Anderson plug. The 350amp connection would give you more range and wouldn't restrict any amperage needed for the hard pulls. I purchased the hydraulic crimper from Harbor Freight (m.harborfreight.com/hydraulic-wire-crimping-tool-66150.html) I've used it for a bunch of projects and haven't had any issues. --Long winded but hope this helps--
Thanks. Plan to do same front and rear; any advice on running cable to rear hitch? What gauge to rear because of length of run reducing power to winch?
I ran 2 gauge to my rear hitch (about 22' from the battery) If I were to do it again, I would definitely spend the extra money to get 0gauge or even 1/0awg with a 350amp Anderson plug. I'd do that because the winch manual says that it could pull 300+ amps on 9000lb pulls. I'm no electrician, but that's what I'd do the second go around
Nice video. Do you need to run the negative all the way to the battery if you’re going to the rear or is a negative cable to anywhere on the frame sufficient?
@@xigladiator510 Because it weakens the connection. The objective of trying to solidify it only weakens it and induces points of resistance with non-uniform compression. This connection may break, heat up or have poor contact over time for several reasons. You better start over with a new connector. Some connectors you can do 2 crimps but not one over the other. Here it is quickly!
