David Bailey Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Good thread, I am thinking about running under my car also. Just seems SO much easier than trying to tuck 1/0 wire. Did you get that scar tissue when you got your vagina installed?

Wastehog Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I work on school buses during the day and when the manufacturer runs power wire to the rear for the lift they just loom it. Same thing for the power wires to the starter and grounds. 4/0 with loom and plastic holders. School buses are normally abused and driven on Ohio's salt covered roads. Worst I've seen is a bunch of dirt in the loom, nothing else. If anything I'd run in pvc for rigidity and loom else where with zip ties. 1985 Chevy Silverado Black and Silver SBC 350/700r4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I did use rubber coated c clips with self taper screws drive into the frame. The long straight run isn't where you need to trip out. It's the bends up to the positions front and rear. Suspension parts, the hot motor. All that need to be taken in, and accounted for.

ghostlyrich Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 If you sre running wire where a thief can see it you should look at your install first.

rockFord_Expedition Posted September 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Good thread, I am thinking about running under my car also. Just seems SO much easier than trying to tuck 1/0 wire. I had my 1/0 tucked in the space along the passenger side edge where the factory wiring is ran. It was BARELY enough space though. This 2/0 won't fit. Some people (not saying you) do it to be lazy, I am looking at it as my only feasible option.
