[QUOTE="Loud Dodge, post: 6781962, member: 621482"] no, your problem is the fact your using 0 awg wire on your charging stud.... its causing a bottle nose effect, and its building power at the bolt... so. what I suggest, is taking and replacing the 0 awg with a 4 awg line. I had the same problem in my 2005 dodge dakota, we have the exact same denso unit alt. some people are able to get away with running 0 awg. but they just get lucky, You are creating a max discharge right at a cheap bolt... so if you take and replace the 0 awg with 4 awg, but run more than one stand, you will be fine, I run a single 4 awg line in my truck now, and it does just fine, so again, this problem isn't the alt, nor the system but simply the wrong wire size for the alt.
