How much did it cost you to have your kit installed? Did you have to ask to have a manual override switch put in or they do that atomatically?

The connectors that come with the kit are all crimp style connectors, If you want the weatherproof ones that these guys here have, you have to purchase them separately.

and the manual override would have to be put in by you, they do not supply it

I paid $200 to have mine installed along with the over ride switch. I did not have the means to do this at the time. Also, installation depends upon how good you are with electrical as well as wiring.

I have had this kit since the last group buy on them. It is still not installed. It has been sitting on the trunk of my Mustang collecting dust since it showed up. I am not looking forward to this install myself as I hate wiring work of any kind but I have heard over and over how easy it was to hook up.

That would be sweet, I probably wont be getting it till around christmas or so. But yeah I'll let you know if i need help when i get it. Do you know how to put in the override switch and where i can get weatherproof connectors and an override switch. Also, what would you want for helping?

Honestly, if you can tie a knot in 2 pieces of rope...thats pretty much how easy the wiring is, I hate anything electrical, and I hate wiring cluster#$@%, but this was so simple that you shouldnt be discouraged at all.

When it showed up in the summer time I thought if I F-up my truck I won't be able to go camping so I kept pushing it off until the end of summer. Summer is long over and I still keep pushing it off. I guess I will just have to stop procrastinating and put this thing in.

hehe:P Well I think you will have no issues doing it at all and if you have any questions, lots of us have done it and I am sure all are willing to help with any issues you run into. The only thing I hated was I didnt have a infrared thermometer so I had to buy one 100 bucks > but now I have one. If you know you are not going to be using the truck for one day, I say go for it.

Them are Weather-Pack connecters. I used them but not on the fan connestions. They are rated for 20 amps max. I used Metri-Pack 280 series for the fan wires. They are rated for 30 amps. I bought a an assortment kit on ebay.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Weath...Q5fAccessories
Has more than needed. I have used on other prodjects as well. Seller also has individual connecters.
Not to discourage on using weather proof connecters, but, if the relays and the fuse holders are not weather proof, what is the point?
Also you will need a special crimping tool to crimp the terminals properly.
