Recommended Posts

I want to put a second battery in my truck cuz of all the dimming...i did the big 3 and it helped with the voltage but dimming is still an issue..i upgraded my alt from the stock 160 amp to a 200 amp that i bought off a guy with a diesel sierra 3500...the problem is that i dont know how to set it up...i have about 25 feet of 0 gauge left fom my big 3 setup...oh yeah i have a 08 yukon and im running about 2500-3000 watts...also mu truck has a second spot to put a battery...

Also my buddy works at autozone and he can sell me 2 optima yellow tops for 400 buck...is this a good deal? I know they are the highest cranking power they make and he says they run about 300 each...

They are online for about $189... i bought mine at a Store in town for $189. So you should punch your friend in the stomach :)

Not my area of Expertise.. but go to the XS sponsorship page down the forum a little and there is alot of good things to read. Ohh and I hear Kinetik is poo.. don't know from experience though just what i read.
