Re: alternator wires

I cut those wires back to where they'll be shielded by that plastic wire holder.

Just gotta find a place round Dunedin that'll sell 4ga wire with a built in fuse.

HMMMM.

Cut them back past the plastic channel and remove the channel altogether. They get dry and brittle and fall apart due to engine heat. Just 1 wire from the alternator to the battery

Ain't gonna happen, trust me. The best cable out there is Knukonceptz Kolossus Fleks 4 Gauge

And the BEST fuses for high-current alternator fusing applications is the Mega Fuse by Littlefuse.

Re: alternator wires

I still have the stock wiring going to the alternator plug though. Hence why it's still there..I was wrestling with that sum***** earlier. Cut my finger.

Re: alternator wires

Also, I'm working on a budget, as I only have 180 bucks for a front diff, oil change, and wiring.

Wiring is being done on Friday, so I can't order anything.

Re: alternator wires

i would definitely remove that plastic channel and trim those 2 white wires (that were originally attached to the alternator) back to the other side of the A/C compressor and join them to each other and tape them securely.

Run the remaining exposed wires to the alternator plug through some of that split-loom plastic tubing if you do nothing else. Wiring isn't in the best of shape.

You can run just the 4 gauge power cable from the alternator post to the battery and add the fuse later (as close to the battery as possible). Just be sure you have matching 4 gauge ground cables from the battery to the frame and battery to engine.

Re: alternator wires

Edit x2: Nvm..i went back and re-read and figured it out!


Edit #3: Got my wiring ordered!! 23 bucks

Kolossus Fleks Kable 4 Gauge Black Power/Ground Wire -5ft
Gold Plated 4 Gauge Ring Terminal -Black -5
Set Screw Ring Terminals - 4 Gauge Pair

All I need are battery ends..which I assume I can pick up from Vatozone for like 6 bucks. and some Misc. wire loom

Re: alternator wires

Wait, so do the two white wires that go to the + post on the alternator get replaced or do you just add the 4 gauge cable?

You cut them to behind the AC condensor lines..then wrap them up. Run new wire to battery from the top post.

Re: alternator wires

read pages 4 & 5 of the write up HERE

Don't over-analyze this, it's not that complicated...

I will say, in on honesty, that after I did this mod, there was a little hesitation when turning the key and starting the engine. it sounded too simple, but the wiring schematic made sense.


A lot of research, and discussions with those more knowledgable in this area, made this happen. Before this alteration, all we were doing is adding wires to "upgrade" the configuration to make up for deficiencies of our corroded aging wires.

Re: alternator wires

do the wires still serve a purpose once off the alternator?

only reason i ask cause they are corroded all the way to the base of the fusebox. i dont wanna have to hack that wiring harness apart if i dont need too......

I have never seen alternator wires with the level of corrosion you describe. There must be other underlying issues.

If you do not want to disturb your harness, just ADD a 4 gauge wire to the alternator from the battery and ADD the upgraded grounds. This is the basic alternator wiring upgrade from years ago, The current will always follow the path of least resistance (the new wires) and ignore the old corroded wiring.

However, the old wiring is brittle and subject to insulation breaking off or the wires breaking altogether. Since there is battery voltage and amps involved, a short is something to be avoided. Those hot wires run dangerously close to the engine, A/C compressor, etc., and can unexpectedly fail and come in contact with ground. Removing these wires from the proximity of any engine part and isolating and insulating them is far more preferable.

That's over 800A of battery power going straight to ground.

Prevention in advance is always sound. Your fusebox will thank you.

well they were corroded at the terminals and i followed it to where it connecte to 2 other white wires and wheni took the electrical tape off it was all greenish.

i cut the cable and stripped the jacket off and a good 4inches were black and brittle.

i do plan on doing the 4g wire mod since i'm already upgrading the alternator.
i'm just wondering if i just clean whatevers exposed then just tape it up and seal it and it has nothing to do with the system?

As I said, just cut back the two wires as far as you can (I believe I cut back about 18" from the alternator connection) This is before they connect to a larger bundle of 2-3 wires.

Clean up the oxidized surface of each wire with emery cloth or a wire brush, twist them tightly together or crimp them. Use heat shrink tubing and some of the rubber self-fusing tape to seal them and leave them be. They have to be joined together for the circuits to stay in place; DO NOT just remove both wires and tape them separately .


As part of my "Aternator 101" (in the How-to Documents) I say:


"When our wires were new, uncorroded and in peak condition, all terminals were securely attached and all grounds were clean and shiny with good contact points, things may have been adequate. But internal resistance due to heat, corrosion and age of materials have taken their toll and decreased the amount of current they were originally designed to carry. Back then, without high-power stereos and other accessories, 95A may have been adequate..."


Resistance in the power cable will result in a power (amperage) loss. So the larger the cable, within reason, the less the resistance.

If you don't think this is true, try jump-starting a car with a set of cheap 14 gauge jumper cables. With the thinner wires, internal resistance to current flow cause them to heat up more quickly-- and that is where your current is lost. A heavier set of wires won't have the same resistance and will heat up much more slowly, allowing maximum current transfer to the other car.'

Corrosion or wrong wire size = resistance = heat=power loss.



If you haven't read over ALTERNATOR 101, you can find it HERE Good charts and stats and questions that are usually raised



There is not much more that a can comment on in this thread. Photos and explanations are as clear as I can make them in the NEW ALTERNATOR WIRING CONFIGURATION v.4

It will make sense when you do it, Just take time and care to do it correctly and don't cut corners and you will be fine.
