mowerman Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Hell, it’s an easy answer. I don’t know why nobody’s answering. You can buy everything you need at AutoZone. I don’t know which gauge they are myself myself. Just cut the wires and take them down to AutoZone. They will have everything you need good luck , bud.bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74012-wire-gauge/#findComment-549492 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solution Draggin Wagon Posted April 6 Solution Share Posted April 6 Think I used #10 from alternator thru amp meter to solenooid, #12 for all big lights, start relay and solenoid, #14 or 16 for small lights, lighter recepticles, CB radio and misc. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74012-wire-gauge/#findComment-549523 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draggin Wagon Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Also put terminal strip on fire wall, under cab and under wrecker body. Be sure to make wiring diagram with wire numbers and colors. Makes lot faster to trouble shoot later on after you forgot everything 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74012-wire-gauge/#findComment-549527 Share on other sites More sharing options...
