Checking with a wiring specialist at a GM dealer; I was told the same information as contained in the GM Service manuals> Nothing really " special " about this wire other than ; as stated in the manuals " fusible links are 4 gauges smaller than the wire it protects"....The heavy insulation is used over the link for purposes of easy location on the link in the event the link has failed. Also the heavy insulation serves to keep the wire from separting in the region of the fusible link.....

I don't mean to argue with anyone about all this; but I am a firm beleiver inthe data contained in the manuals published by the manufacture of any product.
