Default Re: The Offical B.S Thread!!!!

The initial ones I ordered weren't cheap. That's about $20 sitting there. The 14 pin was about $45. I've since learned that the Delphi pins, which are about a buck a piece, are compatible with the Molex pins which are less than 10 cents each, even cheaper when you buy in bulk. That alone saves a ton of money when you're talking about building 25 of these. I've also changed plans since ordering the parts and will be running a harness all the way back to the rear axle rather than using the expensive 14 pin connector under the hood. The 4 pin connector is a lot cheaper, even when figuring in four 25' runs of 16 gauge wire. So, I went from about $75 in plugs and pins to about $20. Not too bad. All the extra parts start to add up, 150' of wire, lots of wire loom, relays, expensive adjustable relay board, etc. It's all coming together nicely though.
