[QUOTE="destruction, post: 1186051, member: 555410"] Ok here is the deal. 2002 F-150 Stock electrical setup is a cable from the alt to the primary start solenoid on the firewall and then from there it travels along a fused wire to the + battery terminal. I just swapped in a 200A alt. and i am running 1/0G wire. I am concerned about running that much amperage across the start solenoid terminal so i am conisdering doing the following. Run a 1/0 cable from the alt to the + batt terminal. Leave the fused cable from the + batt terminal to the primary start solenoid Run a 1/0 cable from the - batt term to one of the bolts that holds the alt on. Run a 1/0 cable to the body of the truck IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG WITH THIS? also. Does anyone know the fuse rating for the cable between the batt and the pri. start solenoid? [/QUOTE]
