    Alternator wire upgrade on 91 c1500

    When I installed my 2nd battery set-up, I also did the BiG 3(5) upgrade. I went with what most YouTube videos did. I left the factory positive battery terminal to junction block and positive alternator terminal to junction block in place and then I ran a new upgraded awg run from Battery...

    I have double checked all the grounds I recently upgraded, other than the connection at the starter.

    Side question/opinions.... So since I finished up and have everything back together... I still get a little fluctuating occasionally on my temp sensor (less than 100 miles driven total since repair)??! More importantly my alternator has always ran at 14 amps++ steady with stereo, sub, amp...

    Good looking out! I'm currently walking the rows of a few boneyards here in Idaho Falls for the upper and lower fan shroud off of the bigger truck before I customize Babygirl and her original parts. Plus I've never perused the yards here before and this kind of a Vaca allows for a few minutes...

    Cooling System Upgrade/Replacement

    So like a month ago the upper hose came off while driving, when I removed the hose completely... Like 75% of the attachment on the radiator had broken off and was inside the hose. So 4 super glue and clamp repairs later... Phuck.... Right! I had a few days off so I got my parts, a plan...

    I truly hope I see your kind of success with my whole repair and decisions made on parts etc. I'm not a huge fan of wrenching on whips, but I'm a solid wrencher with decent knowledge. Growing up my father repaired and wrenched on semi pro race cars on the weekends and I was expected to be...

    Cooling System Upgrade/Replacement

    Bet! I just went out and filled the overflow bottle since the drive did drain it after letting her sit all day. The radiator was pretty much tip top full. I also did the usual upper hose burp, etc. initially. The top oil cooler line that puked on the 1st start up after the repair required just a...

    And really no negative reviews to go that route. Cheers

    Cooling System Upgrade/Replacement

    I see your point. After pondering your point... I would say part of my decision was most likely influenced by the last month of pulling over and waiting for her to cool down so I could fill her up with antifreeze after she had popped a hose again. Yes the pressure was released with said hose...
