What did you do with your truck/shop today

[kstruckcountry]

Tempted to do big 3 when I have to get a new alt. You'll have to let me know if it's worth it.

[Chris]

Its necessary with a bigger alternator. Going to 1/0 was for me but 4 ga could be used if a smaller alternator was used I ordered all the parts and made the wires myself..

New Alternator and Big 3 upgrade. $700 later......

 

 

Is it the alternator that makes it so expensive?

[Chris]

Alternator was $509. The rest was 15 ft of Stinger HPM 1/0 and 24k gold terminals. 2 trips to the parts house if minor things. And a new belt so it was probably closer to $800

Must be nice to have a winter

[yukon25008.1]

Hey ryan can you post a simple list of the steps you took to get the truck were you wanted it to be...ready for winter..

I dont have a garage so id like to really get our vehicles ready for the winter elements coming,

[yukon25008.1]

chawkins I was talking to a guy at a local electrical repair/supply store in town, And he was telling me he could take my stock 145 amp alternator and upgrade the amp output, by rebuilding it himself..with the internal parts/windings etc...

Have you ever had one rebuilt.Or you just bought new? I wanna do this right and would like to do it all at once between the batteries,alternator,wiring,etc.. were did you get the good connectors? should a local stereo shop have them?
