Gene,
Most of it is 18 and 20. There is quite a bit of 16 red and some 16 black. I think there is nothing heavier than 16. I'm sure no 10 red or black.
Sorry,
Gary

Gary,
Some 16 and or 18 red and black would be great. This would put you in exalted Santa status. Only been working part time and things have been tight this year. Thanks ! Pete (PM or email me)

That is a great find. There aren't many wires in a car or the GMC over 16 gauge. The only higher current ones I can think of are distribution (Isolator, feed to the fuse box, etc.), the compressor, the starter, and the alternator.
