stock alt finally took a dump, so i picked up a 200amp from motorcity reman... also picked up a new duralast gold batt and some more 1/0 wirings

i have an 02 mustang that comes stock with the 6g alternator, but i said F that, and i "upgraded" to a 3g... only thing i had to do was make a plug for the regulator... bolted right up fit perfectly

(2) runs of 1/0 from alt to battery +

(2) runs of 1/0 from batt - to chassis ground

(1) run of 1/0 from chassis to engine block

(1) run of 1/0 from engine to batt -

i havent really fooled around with the voltmeter a whole lot yet cause its been so ****ing hott, but it runs 14.4 at idle, and maintains 14.4 with lights, A/C on high, and system on a low-medium level

Mean Green was telling me of this.

However, I gave quite a bit more contact than that in my truck.

Please explain. How wide is the belt on your vehicle? My vehicle makes about 500 ft lbs of torque at the rear wheels and the belt has never slipped. That is basically the same belt and alternator pulley that is on my vehicle.
