la negra Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 im doing the big 3 on my 02 sierra next week. im just waiting on some battery clamps i ordered to arrive. heres a pic of my optima 34/78 kinetik 1800 i had a guy at my old job make me a battery tray and do a lil work on the top bracket to hold it down. this battery will be relocated to the inside of the truck. close to the t10001bd and my question is where do i ground the wire on the alternator ? i know the + goes over where u see that lil dinky 8mm fuseable wire is.
dmanson Posted November 18, 2008 Report Posted November 18, 2008 run the wire off the bolt on the alternator shown in the picture and run it to the frame 2-DC 15XLM2 D.7s 1-DC 5K amp (1) XS Power D6500(UNDERHOOD) and (1) XS3000(REAR) 3 runs 1/0ga for power and 2 runs of 1/0ga for negative.

lil_italy773 Posted November 19, 2008 Report Posted November 19, 2008 anywhere from the block to chassie will work for block ground. ac compressor bolt, alt mounting bracket bolt, or just a bolt that is easy to get to. dont make it real long from piont to piont tho. + on alt to batt poss then neg to direct frame.
la negra Posted November 20, 2008 Author Report Posted November 20, 2008 i think i found a good spot to run the - wires on the frame. its close to the battery also. i went to a local shop and asked them about the big 3 and they gave me a confused look lol they said i should also think about up grading the wire to my starter
la negra Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 i hope i got this rite cuz its cold outside and no 0 gauge left. my voltage did go up tho. the + wire and - wire goes the the battery i bolted the - wire down to the frame from the battery my voltage rest right their during a cold start and all warmed up
Guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 i hope you noticed that big <--GND next to where you bolted it. cause that bolt is actually attached to the alternator.
la negra Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 yea but i dont have the tools to put it their and its like 13 degrees outside and it feels like ur playing with dry ice lol
