Im gonna be doing the big 3 upgarde on my 03 screw pretty soon and i need some help. Is it better to just replace the 3 wires or just add on to the existing wires?

Do you guys think roughy 20' of 0/1 gauge is enough wire?

Thanks,
Beto

 

Search function man. We've covered this like 30 times in the past 2 months.

 

Alright i searched a little more and found some info but i still have one question. I went to my truck right now to look at the battery and i noticed that is a extra little wire on each battery terminal, what are those for?

 

20 feet is more than enough

 

Post a pic of said wire and if possible the run it takes.

 

Ok Low here you go:

This is the (+) little wire


The little wire goes to this

Then from that connector it goes to the alternator. So i take it thats the wire i need to replace, right?


This is the little (-) wire


It just goes from the battery to a ground right next to the connector from the pic above, so again thats the wire i need to replace, right?





Then the big wires from the battery go to somewhere under the engine in this loom

what do i do with these wires?


It just confused me because i thought the bigger wires would be the ones to replace but i guess not.

 

Just leave the stock wires on the truck and add on with the new wire.


Get rid of those chitty shadetree battery terminals and get some good ones, too.

 

Ok ill just add on, but when im doing the pos to alt do i go threw that connector thing, or just straight from the alt to the battery and fuse it? Also should i ground it in the same spot as the stock ground or a new ground?

As for the terminals, i just ordered the Knukoncepts ones along with my other install stuff.

 

I would go to the batt. That Ill use every now and then for a 100W amp. Its sortof a distro.

 

Ok thanks Low. Should i i use the stock ground or make a new one?

 

Make a new one.
