Fantastic... I'm at ease now doing the swap... just one last question. It shouldn't matter where in the red battery line the fusible link goes correct? The schematic shows on later trucks on the battery end the only issue is the ones sold around here have the ring connector already attached it would be easier to put the ring on he horn relay block...but not sure if location matters. Also websites vary. Some say the link should be two gauges smaller than the wire its protecting.. some say four.. does anyone know the fact on size needed for a 10 gauge wire? link size of 12 or 14?
