[QUOTE="bubbagumper6, post: 6347804, member: 567719"] Actually grounding the engine frame is just an easier way to ground the alt. Think about it...why the hell would you need to ground the engine to help with the electrical? It's just most people don't have a good grounding point on the alt case, or can't get to the alt. Since the alt is attached to the engine via a nice thick metal bracket, a bolt on the engine block will work just as well. As for the OP's question. The big 3 is not a solution for voltage drop. In fact it can actually make voltage drops worse by lessening the resistance. To fix voltage drops you need a bigger battery, or an additional battery. Just remember that's going to put extra strain on the alt, so you may need to consider upgrading that as well. Cheers [/QUOTE]
