It was probably just a little loose in the connection ski it would arc and melt the plug.
Pigtail and blower should fix it. One good thing is now it will be under warranty for life |

I hate electricity. Real answer is wait for SAUTO
But it shouldn’t be melting shit. Check the fuses and make sure the Amps on the fuse are correct. If not you probably have a wiring problem. Something is shorting. Maybe it’s in the harness |

Great to hear, thanks guys. When I get it back together I'll let it run for awhile and check the wire/plug to see if its warm.

And the price will be different at every store, and of course there's a difference between shop pricing and walk in...I can guarantee you aren't getting a bigger break than I do from them. I wrote them a check for over 4000 yesterday and that was my lowest one in months. I pay the amount in full every Friday morning. They take pretty good care of me. |

I won't buy engines from them or any parts store for that matter. They all suck, especially Marshall engines

I used to write $20 checks every month to Oreilly but for 5 locations and non of that Friday bullshit, Monthly statements....even better when 10 days 2% terms were still a thing. $5k a year discount. You don't have the choices down there that I did in KC and St Louis. With accounts at WD's you could bypass the part stores and save an addl' 15-20%. Plus the trips, vendor dinners, and other perks. Tennaco (Monroe) was my fav with yearly cruises. All the little WD's have been swallowed up (Worldpak account was great back then but no longer since Advance.) but the rules have changed but there are a few sources to be had if you have connections.

I actually spent almost 10k this week in parts. Brand new Ford engine and a new transmission for a trailblazer that were purchased elsewhere. And that's not including tires sold. And I did all of that with 2 lifts and an alignment rack with one other technician, A lube/tire guy and one part timer that tries to keep the place clean ish and my tools put away. I think I have a reason to be proud. And like I said oreilly's takes pretty good care of me every year. |

I've got a Marshall rebuild at my shop right now because it pulled rocker arm studs with a stock cam. They won't cover it so the guy pulled it from another shop and I'm going to install screw in studs. It seemed like there were claims on every jasper and Marshall and power torque or whatever they want to call themselves now. |

Autozone has a sweet military discount. Sequel rebuilt engines were good til they went bankrupt doing warranty work.
