on some of my other cars and trucks ive had to upgrade my altenator... without paying a high price for a aftermarket alt.. i always tried and find an alt off an police car..or ambulance.. they come from the factory with the higher output alts.. figured id let you in on that secret my dad showed me.. thats what i did on an old caprice,crown vic i had... and got an alt on my f250 from an ambulance.....
Ive also read alot on the big 3.... and this is the correct way to do it as hes telling you... alot of people dont do the ground wires.. they just do the altenator wires..gotta do the grounds too....... you cannot have to many grounds

Would you suppose this would work on ANY truck or car? I'm liking the lack of voltage drop and am considering doing this on my 94' F150. Heck, maybe even my 09' Escape, if it's worth it....
Oh, yeah, are you just adding wire? You don't remove the old, factory grounds and alternator wires, do you?

I'll repeat what I said in the original post: this isn't a set-in-stone way....it's the way I did it.
