Ford f150 05- bl18, sundown, hertz, big build

[dwright27]

looking very good on the build for sure. Nice to see it being done right the first time. I'm gonna have to redo most of mine come spring since I wanted to just get it "installed" the first time around and see totally what I was working with.
Truck looks like it is gonna be loud for sure with that 18.

If you have done the big 3 on this truck where did you feed the ground wire threw? did you use the wire channels that run along the side?

ground wires for big 3 are all in the engine compartment. Motor to ground and battery to ground.

When I ran a batt in the back I just popped a hole under the seat and ran through a grommet and grounded at the frame in the back.

For positive powerwire running from the engine compartment to the back batt there is a grommet just to the right of the stock battery box on the firewall if your lookin from the front of the truck. I ran through that then ran it between the console and passenger seat under the carpet in my truck.

1/0 won't fit under our sill plates...craps pretty tight in there.

yeah i figured something like that. so for the electrical situation first do big 3 no matter what. then get alt? then yellow top under the hood? then get a 2400 for the back?

i ran my 1/0 under the truck

theres grommets back there //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif and if not pop a hole with the drill and drop you a grommet in there.

i believe parts express has them and i may have a few.

grommets are the pieces that hold the wire and on the other side have like gills that go threw the hole and stay right?
