ImaNoob Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I have a mechman 370A elite and was told by mechman that you should only have one run from the alternator as multiple connections can cause resistance and overheating of the alternator. My question is, would a 16 inch run of Knu 1.0 be sufficent on the 370a to the front battery? just curious before I change anything. I know the wire is rated for 300a. whaaa? more wire and more copper terminals = more resistance???? that's a new one. You DO NOT want to stack terminals on the alternator. Stacking ring terminals on the alternator WILL cause the regulator to overheat.. I was just told over the phone, to use two on Power and two on ground for a 270a ? Im confussed now... 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Xs3400 1500BDCP FI BL 12 3sq @ 32hz Rockford t675 T400.2 Stinger Deadner Build Log Here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stacking ring terminals on the alternator WILL cause the regulator to overheat.. Could you explain why for us? Not busting your chops or anything, I was actually thinking about it for this summer when I upgrade my wires and I'm curious now.

If you need multiple runs run them from the battery.. NOT OFF OF THE ALTERNATOR 1-888-MECHMAN www.Mechman.com [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
