Re: Re-wire truck or???

Hey all,
Thanks for all the suggestions and I will be doing some test on with a volt meter this week to see if I can find where it is dropping. I had a SNAFU on the way home. My volts were way down and the battery just took a crap on me. I believe this was all my fault as I jerry-rigged my alternator wire to my battery and the wire was burnt black. I had planned on fixing it but it had been running that way for 3 years... oh well. after having to push my truck out of traffic and installing a new battery and new 4 gauge wire from alternator to batter I was up and running. I had the alternator tested and it is still good but volts still dropping when I am using power for anything other than the engine (i.g. windows). Here is a pic of where most of my wires are connecting and it is not a pretty site I will admit.



I will clean this up, re-look /do the grounds and see what happens.

Thanks for the input all.
