Rewiring car


Recommended Posts

Dumb question. Can I use speaker wire to rewire an old truck. Of course using the correct gauge. 

 

Its got old nasty ridiculously long wire now and was thinking about replacing and re-running everything while I have the engine pulled

I would verify that the wire you're using has the appropriate heat and chemical resistance suitable for use in an engine bay. OFC / Tinned OFC only for this application. You WILL be redoing it if the stuff is CCA (seems to be more common in speaker wires, something to look out for).

Look into a Painless! wiring kit. Most of the work is already done for you, besides putting it in.

Shoot just about $800 for the wiring kits... almost what I paid for the truck lol

 

think I’m just gonna go and replace all the wires. I’ll check with Jon and see what the temp specs are of his stuff. 

 

Almost had the motor pulled Sunday but there was a rounded over nut on the flywheel 😰

Right. I mean 8 gauge and bigger should be fine. But I’m not sure about speaker wire
