Alternator install question


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have 2 Mechman 320amp alternators. When i get them installed, can I connect the positive leads with aluminum flat bar and make all my runs to the batteries off the aluminum?

Another question.. I have a stock 140amp alternator that will still be in place. I can get a longer belt to run the stock alt or a shorter belt and not route the belt along this alternator. Would there be any negative effects to running 2-320amp alts and 1-140amp alt? Should I not run the stock alt?

Thanks! Just to verify and be 100% sure, the 2 stronger alts wont "fight" the weaker alt?

Ill be installing them in a 4.2L trailblazer, and to my knowledge there are only 2 out there with dual alts. Im shooting for 3 and this application will require a little more than a typical bolt on bracket but i will be sure to take a lot of pics.
