95_1500 Posted June 26, 2008 Report Posted June 26, 2008 ttt anyone? Big 3 = a fused run from the battery + to the alternator. a run from the battery - to a ground. a run from the engine block to the chassis If the factory ran a wire from the battery to the alternator that far then doing it in 1/0 can only help... -BS Original Build http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24095
