[QUOTE="Spr0ket, post: 1167946, member: 560341"] You need to upgrade your stock wiring and do the big three. The big three consists of the three major wires of your charging system. Most cars/trucks use a small gauge wire (the default on mine is 12AWG). Upgrade those wires to a minimum of 4AWG and you will be set. If by some chance you are going to upgrade your alternator, splurge a bit and go for the OTT gauge wire. The major wires are battery ground to chassis ground, battery ground to engine ground, and battery positive to alternator positive. When I say ground, you will need to sand down the paint where you are going to mount your new grounds... it's the only way to properly upgrade the big three. Also, don't remove the stock wires... you want to add to them giving the least possible resistance. Good luck. PS - Don't buy a cap... it won't fix your problem. [/QUOTE]
