Jared420 Posted October 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I think your engine bay is identical to mine... Really easy to do the big 3 Read some tutorials on here and take notes I noticed almost immediately the benefits of the big 3... I really didn't notice an audible difference after the big three or the battery replacement, really didn't notice until I added the big odyssey battery in the back ok so definatley the big 3 but, i guess its all in opinion now but in my situation where im trying to do the most with my setup now for as cheap as possible will the bigger battery up front be a waste of time and money? If i wont gain any top power and get louder will a bigger reserve do anything but help voltage drop?

I got a BNIB Ohio Gen 270a for 200 bucks from a guy I know that bought 4 but then decided to switch brands before his build even got started. I can see if he has anymore at that price you cover shipping and gas to get to his store and I will ship it to you? Very easy... loosen tensioner then remove 2 bolts, pry alittle bit, and then bolt new one up and put belt back on. A good battery will help but in your case the big 3 should yield better bang for the buck. Quote Rebuild coming soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man I appreciate all the help. I was just asking about the alt I dont plan on doing that for a couple years. When I get a new truck I am going to do a Bigger more legit build.
