    Maybe I'm not smart enough to read the schematics. Would you mind if I sent you a picture of my box along with the schematics to see if I did this right?

    This 93 model only has 63K miles on it. It came from the North Slope in Alaska and is beefed up as far as electrical goes. It has 3 4/0 cables going to the positive and 3 4/0 cables going to the negative from the battery box to the starter. It also has 2 on/off switches in the battery box, 1 for each pair of batteries. I don't know if thats normal or not but I'm sure the battery cables aren't

    Worst part is that those guys managed to get $20 in scrap, and you are going to pay countless times that to get it back, and the fuel and time to make it happen. Sorry to hear of the loss.

    If even that!
    I use to do scrapping when I was in highschool a few years back. Copper is worth money but not THAT much money. I mean they got what, 20-30 feet of hefty gauge copper?

    Too bad you couldn't have given them some copper in 185 grain increments...

    Would your insurance pay to have it fixed at a dealer, that is if they even could figure it out.
