Re: big three


here is what i did.

alt + to bat +

alt mounting bolt to bat -

and i dont have the chasis ground upgraded because i have a 1/0 ground run to the back to direct ground the amps, so nothing other then stock stuff is grounded to the chasis.

Re: big three


its better to ground the alt/engine block right to the batt- then the chassis. the chassis from what i hear is only equivalent to about 4g. and then if your grounding your amps in the back just put a piece of wire from the chassis to the bat -
