you should do the big 3 in 1/0 wire. talk to johneconn2001. he will set you up with everything you need for a very good price. If you have done this already, and have a stock battery, you should get another battery. If you still have dimming, then you should buy a h/o alternator. They arent as expensive as you think. There is an ebay store for iraggi alts, and they are like 180-200 bucks shipped for an 180 amp alt. If you still have a problem, you may wanna try to run another battery for your system alone. AFTER all that comes a cap.

Use 1/0 gauge wire, Do big 3, buy upgraded battery, last HO alt. As an HO upgrade is the most expensive. You should close all other possibilities first.

nah man, i dont have anything towards you, or anybody for that matter. the dramas over... and I really didnt want it to be drama at all, i figured that we (me and allstar) would have settled it like adults, but he posted it, so I spoke what I felt.

to stay on topic, do the big 3 in 1/0 wire, get an inline fuse holder and slap a 250a anl fuse in it. you can get all of this from johneconn2001 for a pretty good deal.

Wow. It was supposed to be funny. I don't even know what drama you're talking about //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

It's possible. But if it does not, it would be a huge waste of money.

robert... DO THE BIG 3 in 1/0 WIRE!!! All the wire, fuse, and fuse holder will cost you less than 50 bucks, and it will more then likely solve your dimming issues. The big 3 is VERY easy to do, all that it consists of is doing a little bit of wrenching, some crimping, and thats about it. Shouldnt take more then 20-30 minutes tops.
