My Big 3 Upgrade....

Jonez788 Silver Member Username: Jonez788 Post Number: 173 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Tuesday, June 20, 2006 - 00:24 GMT I just finished my Big 3 upgrade, I figured I'd tell you guys how it went. I got a 200 AMP HO Alternator and installed that a few days ago along with the new power wire from the alt. to battery and ground from battery to chassis. Results: I got a steady 14.36 volts across the battery terminals. I just finished up the Big 3 by upgrading the ground from the engine to the chassis. Results: Went up to 14.44 volts across the battery terminals. All of the wiring was done with 0 gauge wire. Recap: Big 3 Upgrade = GREAT RESULTS!!!!
