Seems like it works okay with that big V-10.
If 50 amp relays are okay in the Viper, then they should be okay in the
truck, with a MUCH smaller engine and a MUCH larger grille....or you have
too many circuits going through the relay.
Plus, if you have a relay that can handle 50 amps, you need wiring large
enough to handle the current.
