hey pete o I know this replys abit old as I only started to read this thread this morning
whn I had my exhaust an mech shop we had a lil setup called a matson anti zap .it looks like a very small jumper battery .it has two leads positive an neg comin from a 4inch x4 inch x 1 inch yellow box .all you do is connect to the battery on whatever your wlding on an it protects the whole elect system on the vechile ect I used it on anything I welded an never had an issues with batteries motors modules ect .b4 hand when the new electronic injected cars trucks ect came out I had to replace a few ecm in some cars .you can also buy it as a normal set of jumper leads only thing diff is it has the yellow module thingy an you have to put the leads on battery to battery the correct way ive seen ppl try jumper start their car only to fry the ecm ect
as I said its a long time since this thread was started but thought id thow my 2 bobs worth
cheers ron
