Re: Electrical gurus, wht am I missing?!?!?

I'd replace the ground straps with something a little bigger, at least 4 gauge wire but I prefer 1/0.

And check the hot wires between the battery, starter, and alternator.

I recommend doing the big 3 under the hood on these trucks, the stock wiring they used just isn't very big.

you can check out how I did it in my build thread.

I added an additional ground wire between the block and battery (making it a "big 4" i guess lol) and plan on replacing the hot wire to my starter soon, the stock wire has a low strand count and it's stiff and hard to work with.

I didn't check my idle voltage before I did it, but after it's 14.5-14.6
