engine harness

i saw TSB indicating possible engine harness breakage and a way to prevent it. Had any one here actually 'beefed' up the area where the harness is likes to break?

Never saw a broken engine harness in 300K+ miles. Maybe our roads are smoother?

Well, I guess it is more common for those who gun their engines a lot. As the engine rock back and forth under power, the harness will more more than those that doesn't. Wires fail while being bend. Larger gauge wire will break easier than thinner gauge wire.

I think if all else fails, then the last thing to check will be the wiring harness.
