relay type and quality
 
Looking for some opinions on. is there a big quality difference in different brands of relays that are used on cooling fans and fuel pump. I just blew one on the ecm that was installed when I sent my harness out to get it re worked.(2 relays 4 fuses) Everyone I have sent out comes back with the standard type relay set up. Are people replacing these with better quality relays?
Your thoughts.

One of my pet peeves is cheap relays. I use these.

would you change the socket also or just the relay?

I use the metri pack socket that comes with the relay.

The aftermarket harnesses I've bought used Hella. Never had a failure. I've used Painless fan kits with good success. What ever you use make sure they are rated for the max amp draw.

quick question. All my relays are 4 prong. Can I use 5 prong relays on four prong applications? Thanks

Your thoughts.

doesn't sound like factory fuse layout... probably overloading the circuits? never understood why people who rework harness do that type of quality...
