[QUOTE="The Silverman, post: 7000041, member: 610321"] 1. Do the big 3 upgrade? 2. Install a 2nd battery that is dry cell and can perform cranking 3. Upgrade my alternator? 4. Anything else? Please let me know which of the above three items I should do to prevent this from happening again. [B][I][SIZE=14px]I got an estimate from a local shop and they want $200 for the labor and wires to do the big 3 upgrade. And they want $330 for a VMAX CT-1000 charge tank, and $90 PAC-200 battery isolator. It comes out to around $860 with tax and labor. Is this reasonable? [/SIZE][/I][/B] Thanks! Doing the Big 3 for starters and adding a battery would definitely help you even if your problem is unrelated. IMO Thats an insane price for a big 3 upgrade... That VMAX and PAC isolator cost right around half of what they're charging online [URL="http://www.audio-warehouse.com/web/mdl/CT1000/detail.asp"]CT1000, VMax Charge Tank CT1000, VMax Charge Tank Batteries, VMax Charge Tank Batteries[/URL] [URL="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CEBXRS/?tag=caraudiocom-20"]Amazon.com: PAC PAC200 Battery Isolator, 200 Amp Relay: Automotive[/URL] and about 25-30 ft of this [URL="http://www.knukonceptz.com/productDetail.cfm?prodID=KFX0BK"]Car Audio Wire[/URL] If you're not against doing the work yourself you can get away with paying nearly 1/3 of that 860 quote... I may be cheap but for a quote like that a HO alternator should pretty much be included... [/QUOTE]
