[QUOTE="DNick454, post: 6282834, member: 600755"] Make sure all of your connector ends have solid crimped terminals. By simply twisting wires together and taping them, that is a very poor conductor for a high current situation. There just isn't a good enough contact surface between the two and they're prone to move around when the engine is runing/vibrating. Make sure that you've got SOLID 1/0 runs with proper crimped ends going from +ALT to +BAT, -ALT to CHAS. GRND, ENG. GRND to CHAS. GRND, and -BAT to CHAS ground, all grounded in the same spot. Also, what worked for the previous ground might be a tad corroded? Most uni-body cars are spot welded so some body panels (such as the fender maybe) may actually be a poor ground. Find a nice solid piece of the frame to tap into and make sure it's free of paint and corrosion/debris. Your bat might be strong enough to keep the voltage up for awhile but it simply can't supply the current and the alt isn't helping to it's full potential because of poor grounds/connections.
