What is this wiring piece?



The two off-white/yellow tubes on the wires, not the yellow butt connector. They do not open or contain a fuse. I need to replace these wires because my truck's former owner (who I just looooooove at this point) had these wires resting directly on the headers.

Just would lie to know if I can eliminate them, or what to replace them with if need be.

Re: What is this wiring piece?

^^ Yes, they're fusible links.

To be more specific, the fusible links are actually the short sections of smaller gauge wire between the starter solenoid and the off-white plastic "tubes". The "tubes" are just insulators covering the factory splices between the fusible link & the wire it protects.

Here's some more info on fusible links --> http://www.madelectrical.com/catalog/fusible-link.shtml
