We're not flying airplanes, we're working on 50 year old trucks.. I spent almost 35 years "in the trenches" as an automobile mechanic. Over half of those years as a "specialty tech" doing electrical and AC repairs. GM sent me numerous times to their GM Training Center in Houston, Texas, plus many, many hours attending local training seminars. Never once did the instructors list crimped butt splices as number one method of joining two wires.. There are factory splices all through an automotive wiring system, and to the joint, they're all soldered..
