andygardner Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Im planning on doing the big 3 on thursday. It will be my first time soldering and i think ive read enough on here to not mess it up too bad. Also waiting for the smd vm1 to be back in stock so i can snatch one of those bad boys up.

bassfreake Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 tuned in just cuz I'll be doing this stuff soon myself in my 04 Taurus and wanna see your handiwork GL with build! Couldn't hurt to still upgrade the alt too eventually if you're getting the AQ 2200 I've heard they can be a tad hungry, I'd suggest at least talking to the guys from Mechman or Singer and seeing what they say I'm upgrading my alt when I get my aq 2200 but I also plan on going way bigger in a few months. Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

andygardner Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks guys. Ill post pics of the car after i get it washed and cleaned. And its to cold to detail the inside of my car. Its been in the 20s for a while now. There is a little more ive done like install a cheap pair of component speakers up front. And all the wire on the wiring harness for the headunit were heatshrunk. As for the alt question. Im sure ill be fine with the alt and the 2 batteries. The alt on my motor is a pain in the ass to get to let alone change. I have the duratec motor. If you have the vulcan motor you got it a lot easier.

bassfreake Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 really? my alt is right on top plain as day Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.

Robert8252 Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 His engine is different. Alt is burried. Stock alt with just a good couple of batts will run 2-3k pretty good. Like the dash, thought about converting to EAC just to get a double din but didn't feel like the headache. Good luck with the build! 2013 F150 Crew Cab Old Build Log Feedback 2013 F150 Equipment - Some Awesome Stereo Sound Making Stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andygardner Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Yeah. You have the vulcan motor then. The duratec alt is in the worst place. And ive read that you sometimes have to remove the crankshaft or something to get it out. And ive read you need a special tool also but idk. So i would have to have a shop install my alt and that would be a lot of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassfreake Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 damn that sucks I didn't know they came with 2 different motors lol Thanks I was pretty excited about the alt myself. kind of like a school girl, in a dress, on a swing. lol It's warming up enough that the donut-punching cyclist douchenozzles are getting their two wheeled fagmobiles out.
