I am aware that they were created as an aftermarket item. Made from GM 10SI's. I have seen them used on A LOT of things from off-road vehicles, tractors, to boats. They are USUALLY trouble free, but as anything can, fail. There are advantages to the 3-wire. I know this. But I like the 1-wire and I accept its quirks. Such as you have to rev the motor to "excite". Everyone to their own.
I read the webpage describing the 1-wire vs 3-wire. "Terminal Illness" is common with shoddy wiring. I solder all splices and heat shrink them. I also solder all stake-on terminals and heat shrink them. I have a 1979 C20 farm truck and if I plug into someone elses trailer and the lights or brakes do not work, its their trailer... No Exceptions. Why?? I solder all my joints.
As to the original post. I'd use a diode. That is how most OEM were wired. Any electronics store can provide them cheaply. Also MOUSER.COM has about anything you can imagine. But shipping would suck for 1 diode.
