im not sure what everyone else did, As some have stated the wires get old and resistance goes up and conductivity goes down. so i used 14 gauge on all 4 wires, guess you can use any gauge wire that will handle the current. for example 14 gauge can handle 32amps. (Wire-Gauge Ampacity - Transwiki)

i guess what the 'relay solution' does is it uses the weak blue wire to flip the relay switch(instead of the starter solenoid) that in turn allows a direct draw from the battery through the relay with brand new wire. also make sure your positive on the starter is not corroded or loose. on the first page of this thread is the diagram. (5th prong not necessary unless you install a kill switch), anyway, hope this helps a little, its been 5 days in cold weather since ive put in the relay and so far no problems.
