[QUOTE="GreenBook, post: 8657205, member: 603834"] Thanks for the response. I went ahead and did it anyway a couple days ago. Like you said I figured it couldn't hurt, and I already had the material. It made a minimal difference overall, but it helped a little bit. The engine ground probably helped the most, that was just a insulated ribbon wire so some 4g there helped for sure. The alternator didn't have a boot, just a plastic shield with a gap to seat the wire terminals. I think they assume the underbody shields would do the protecting but they break and fall apart real easy. I need to try and find some at a junkyard, I bought my car used and they were already gone. I was mostly asking this because I wasn't sure if the current would just ignore the new wire and follow the original since its larger. And yeah the stock wire is way better quality. [/QUOTE]
