That's a great idea... another mod to add to my list (especially now that I'm actually getting a truck)

Congrats! So you did get confirmation on your Tremor?

Thanks man but I can't take credit for it. Very excited to hear about your new truck. It has been a long time in the making!

Any pics of the wiring on the battery? Any issues?

No issues at all, just ran black cable to negative post and red cable to positive post. I also wrapped the wire in convolute to give it some additional protection. (they are the two wires with the red arrows in the pic below). I did have to remove my Banks air filter to get access to the wires. Voltage on both batteries and remote posts all are identical with truck off and when it is running.

Thanks! It will be nice to show up to a Tremor meet-up with a Tremor rather than just being a wanna be owner. 😆

May I ask what the bundle that is zip tied up behind the battery? Just curious if I need it or not?

I ordered the double pod pillar mount from Banks as well and am just waiting for it to come in. I live in the Tyler area, we are definitely neighbors!

How much cable did it take? Assuming the same length roughly of each. Did you buy them made or make your own?

I was going to make my own but didn't have a lug crimper. I was able to purchase premade cables on amazon for the price of what the crimper would cost.

4' is the bare minimum for my location which is what is in the pic. Yesterday I went back and ordered 7' with 3/8 and 5/16 lugs and will change them out next time I am servicing air filter for a little cleaner install path and to gain a little slack. I also put these boots on the remote terminal connection end.

I'll probably need your help with this mod when it comes time for me to add this in. I'm happy to pay in beer or whiskey ;)
