Sticky the Mad Article?
Fleet wiring was installed with 60? 65? amp alternators. While it might be "expected" that additional equipment was installed, it still indicates that the factory wiring was pretty marginal.
I used to maintain HVAC, and it's common for the same type 1/4" wide quick connects which are in Mopar bulkhead connectors, are used for electric furnace element connections and to the sequencer relays. These are nominal 20A (5KW) circuits, and there are LOTS of failures with that wiring. Part of the maintenance in an electric furnace is checking those connectors.
The point? 20 amps? and you experience failures? Then how can one expect those connections to put up with 40--60A or more and do anything except fail?
Typical: connection is a little loose and it snowballs. Or is the term "fireballs?" LOL
