From what iv been reading it should be the BIG 4 and that should be included. Can be debated. I mean, the alt is secured in the metal (ground) bracket on the motor/block right? So, your basically running a wire go the same thing. Some swear by it, but I've had 2 alt builders tell me "meh" whatever. ... That said, we did "ground" all 4 of ours.

I have wondered about this also.. maybe just depends on the vehicle and at which points the alt is mounted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that because i thought the current ran over the top of metal so it might night be the best rout vs a 5200 strand copper wire with plenty of surface area. Thats just my 2 cents. ♦ Sundown NSV4 18" + Sundown SALT-4 Baby ♦ MechMan Elite 370a + XS3100 - XP3000 ♦ SHCA 1/0 OFC(blue) + SMD Fuse Holders(blue) ♦ Pioneer AVH-2440NEX + SHCA Pro RCA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
