Jumper cables and possible surge issues to electronics with new vehicles
According to Pat Goss of Motorweek, you should "throw out your jumper cables" because of the potential of power surges when jumping new vehicles. This may not happen at the time, but surface weeks or months down the road (no pun intended) when 'weird' things start happening. Similar to computers when a bad PS, processor etc. ends up causing unusual unrelated program errors.
I believe he has mentioned on one of his programs there are cable assemblies available that have some additional 'surge' protection included (something connected in line) to prevent this.
He has been very adamant about this. What do you guys say?
