Why not use dielectric grease? That's what it's made for, right?


-G
Yes, my thinking was the silicone would seal it better as it's exposed to the elements. Would dipping it in dielectric and topping it off with silicone be overkill or just good thinking?



Good lord driving this thing home made me so upset, it drove like absolute crap... Moab kicked it's arse and I never looked it over. I'm glad it's July and my Moab prep has started just to destroy it again with my internet friends. :haha:

That's what I always thought but if used incorrectly it is also a current flow inhibitor. A better option I use at work that is carried over from the utility side is Penetrox. It is an oxidation preventing compound that also enhances conductivity. Also works as an antiseize.

The silicone won't stick to the grease.
Use the dielectric grease and put it in an enclosure
 
I'm ignorant to this piece... So, what's the difference between this and a standard bosch style relay?
 
You don't need to upsize the wire to trigger the relay, I'm talking about the 4 tiny screws in the upper right corner of your picture.

You just need to make sure that wire can be converted to a +12V output in the software, not all can be, some are only ground.
I had a chance to take a look, the holley won't positive trigger. Not sure what I'm going to do and I can't get through to holley customer service.

I have a painlesswiring dual fan relay kit on my K5. It has worked perfectly since I installed it. On 2 different occasions. First time it was wired up to use the temp switch in the coolant. Now it is triggered by my ecm. The nice thing is it uses regular relays available anywhere

That’s what I’m leaning towards, I was hoping this msd was indestructible.
 
Also forgot to mention today I resealed the rear diff today, I peeled the cover in Moab last year and the lube locker was no longer locking.
 
I source my own relays because the kits are so expensive. I switched to using the sealed relays to prevent corrosion of the terminals.

I was thinking if Holley won’t warranty it then I could use it for the fuel pump and some light switches.

Do you have a link?
 
Maybe you should use some bosch relays that are readily available at any auto parts store so when it craps the bed you have hope of getting a replacement
I was going with a less wire cleaner look with the MSD.

I contacted MSD and they said it's dead and unless I can prove a receipt within a year and a little more they can't do anything about it. I'm trying to find the receipt but I think it's been a little over two years.
