Types of spare fuses?

[Trail_Limo_Tim]

Ok. I looked in the fuse box and I see micro fuses, and cartridge (long?) fuses. What other, if any, types of fuses do I need to purchase to have on hand as extra spares?

I know there are a few extras in the fuse box. I just like to feel prepared. When it comes to fuse types I am fairly ignorant without Google. I just know the fuses I already had sitting in my garage toolbox aren’t the correct types. Any help is appreciated.

Many would recommend having a spare main fuse array that is attached to the side of the fuse box.

Spend the coin for a OEM MOPAR one and do not be tempted by the way cheaper Chinesium Ebay specials ones.

I would also suggest buying known OEM brands for the other fuses like "Bussmann". Another suggestion is if you have a "Pick-n-Pull" type salvage yard close by, look for any late model Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator and just pull every fuse out of a fuse box for a set of spares.

I second avoiding cheap Amazon or aftermarket fuses. Independent testing has shown most of those cheap brands don't pop when they should, increasing the risk of damaging very expensive electronics or worse, burning your truck down.

Yikes. Good heads up. Thank you.

Someone used these 20 amp fuses on a 15 amp circuit for two fuel pumps in a Testarossa. Half a step from fire in the frunk. Stay away from Chicom junk for safety items.

I'm still trying to find a source for these 52 amp fuses ->

Don’t give up. Just keep bringing them into your local auto parts store and asking.

Coming from you, that has to be a joke.

Probably the same company that makes the 710 caps.

OK, guilty.

Maybe this helps.

Goofy thing is that in Australia, the thing says "OIL"

I guess different cap for different markets.

That's the US Market, the 710 cap is for the Australian, New Zealand, and South African markets only and isn't compatible with the North American OIL caps.
