I've noticed a a few people mentioning problems with the method the Life Like P2K SD7/9's pickup thier power. Has there been any similar issue's with the other P2K diesel's like the Geeps and Switchers?

I'm going do try one of the fixes I've found for the SD7/9's when I do the sideframe mod's to my SD9-3 project and see if that works out or not. Just need to know if I need to tune up my other LL units when I start in on those projects.
 
Most of the LL P2K problems i have had is in the wires leading from the trucks up to the motor. They are too small in diameter or they have broken off. I have replaced most of my leads and have not had a problem since.
