If there isn't any short then I dont think there should be a path that contains any "hot wire" into an electrical component. | |

I'm not a professional welder or mechanic and sometimes I just don't know what to be scared of and what's totally harmless. All I read was the Chilton's manual! So I just do everything the hard way to be sure. I'm glad to hear about the bolt holding up though, that does fill me with confidence. I still don't understand the instructions on the packaging though, why would they explicitly mention the rear? | |
| Jul 22, 2017 at 12:48 | comment | added | Ben | Why would you drop the fuel tank to weld a bolt on in the front? Is there some kind of evap or fuel leak? I had to do this job years ago with very little in the way of tools on a b2300. Drilled out the lower mount and ran long hardened bolts through the lower mount. It held up longer than the rest of the truck. | |
