This was very well written, if I see any issues on your articles I'll just ghost edit typos so you don't have to worry about it. Cool?
Awesome job Scott!!!!

soldering is not all that hard and is a great tool to have in your box. Most people mess up thinking they need to heat the solder first. What you want to do is get some solder on your iron, then touch the area you want to solder to. When it gets hot enough the solder on your iron will run onto the wire or part you are working with. I will put it on my list of vids to do.
Thank you sir. I still feel like something is missing but dunno. If anyone has any other ideas of informative write ups that could help throw the ideas out there.
Scott maybe add a part about the different heat shrinks and when/how to use them.
They go with any proper wiring job.

Another awesome "how to".
If you have a single larger run of wire and need to make multiple splices in to that wire, maybe like powering fuel injectors, would the military splice and then solder suffice?

each connector has its time and place. In reality all the ones I showed(with the exceptions to the ones I showed to never use) are all acceptable connection methods although some will work better then in others.
The military splice is really just supposed to be a minimalists approach on how to make a connection. I can't tell you a single time where it was recommended to military splice that for me it just was not any harder to do it standard style and solder it. I ALWAYS SOLDER..... If the time came up that I didn't have solder and needed to fix a bad connection then I would do the military splice till I had enough time to do it the way I like. As for multiple runs on a single wire I would not go with the military splice and would go with a standard soldered connection. Its just safer... Now you mention about the injectors for example. If I am not mistaken there is one common wire between all of them and one per injector. For the common wire between all 16 yes you could use the military splice here perfectly.
Hope I answered them all and did not make any new ones. Let me know if I did.

When doing remote starts I always did the military splice with solder. Then use some good tape and voila!!!!
This is just a personal preference.

somehow I forgot to mention that on the few occasions I have done it I put a wire tie around the two loops so that they could not simple be pulled apart.
