Mr DeeBeez Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 So my alternator recently went out, so I ordered a 240a mechman g series alternator. My question is this, would db link 0gauge wire be fine to do the big 3 upgrade with? I already bought it. He sold me 20' for $30. After doing some reading, I saw that this was rated for 200 amps. They also say that they under rate them. So would I be fine using this wire with a 240a alternator? If not, could I do 2 runs for each connection to make up for it?

Nick580 Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 You should be fine with the DB Link for as short of runs you will be making in the big 3. Just make sure your contacts are tight and that your metal areas for ground are bare and clean. You should have no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Schenk Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 Should be fine like he said if short runs but doubling it up would be better if u have extra.

Mr DeeBeez Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 ok. well the run from alt positive to battery positive will be sort of long. in the pic, my alt is down in the engine under the arrow, and the red line will be where the wire is ran, is this too long?

CleanSierra Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 DB Link is not bad wire. I've seen the side by side comparisons with 5-6 other wires in the pics and this stuff soapy had a decent strand count and is OFC. Once I get all of my new wire run, and alternator(hopefully this week sometime), I'll have an extra, 12-14' run of that DB Link leftover. It's the darker blue stuff. If you'd like any extra, let me know, I'll let it go cheap cheap. The one downside to this wire is that it isn't flexible at all. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you.

The guy I bought it from was saying it was aluminum clad? I've never heard of that. The wires are all completely silver. I got one 14' run of the dark blue, a 3' run of dark blue, and a 3' run of clear. And hit me up when you are done running your wires, i just may be interested Thanks!

CleanSierra Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I'll definitely let it go for cheap since I'll have no need. It's OFC, the stuff I have is. Im not the one you want to try to troll. Just a fyi for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
