AD244 is installed with new cables. Pretty impressed with how its working at this point, very little voltage drop from the battery to the junction box/outside fuse box on the other side. 14.74v at the battery and 14.69v at the JB. Unfortunately I was in the zone when I started and didn't get initial readings, but I know from past scans with my OBD2 reader, 14.1-14.2 was pretty common going down the road. I kicked everything on HIGH after it warmed up tonight at idle, it didn't even move the needle on the gauge. I had planned to do this Saturday, but needed some shop therapy after this week.
Tomorrow I'll throw it on the lift and put on the new starter.
Parts ready to go on...
Pretty impressive stats on the new alternator
What I started with
New vs. Old
Old 8ga cable vs. new 4ga cable to JB
Crimped, adhesive heat shrink, and nylon sheath
Old charge wire from alternator vs. new 2ga wire
New wire is heavier than the old WITH insulation
Main charge cable to 175amp mega fuse
Finished product...man, that engine bay is filthy
I also took the plunge and went Milwaukee red. I've been a Ryobi One+ guy for 10+ years, but I have a local guy who sells Milwaukee and I'd rather give him the business than Home Depot...plus the 5min drive to town vs 50min-1hr drive to Home Depot makes a big difference! My Ryobi impact is probably my favorite tool in the shop, and I love how much smaller this Milwaukee unit is.
