I do not understand why we do not have a Capacitor Sticky yet????

Anyway here is the quick fix

Step 1 - Uninstall the Cap

Step 2 - Throw in nearest trashcan

Step 3 - Perform the Big 3 upgrade

enjoy

Caps are worthless and you should slap whoever told you to buy one.

Yes this. Remove the cap and do the big 3 - there is a sticky in this section about it.

Im going to go buy a cheap cap and see if it will make my headlights dim.. Should I put it before or after the battery bank?
