I used one. As others have said they are limited in capacity, I still have another hole that feeds the larger main wires, but it goes to a panel on the engine side of the firewall that connects to the battery.
My original goal, besides weather sealing, was the ability to connect and disconnect all the wires from the cab for the future, but then I had wires that couldn't be spliced like the pyrometer gauge and backup camera feed, so I didn't really get what I wanted out of it.
I do like the weatherpac connectors for connections outside the cab though. Yes most are limited for amperage without going to a separate system, but it's sufficient for most circuits, and most of the higher load stuff is either on a relay remotely so the wire out of the cab is just a switching wire, or like my headlights are LED and pull almost no power anyway.
