Big Three Upgrade?

Yep, I spent 5 years working as a tech at a car audio shop, doing the same type of installs as you. Then another 10 years working with 12v and accessories for large automotive groups. You can’t help everyone, and a lot of people don’t have a clue as to what they are doing. I guess this is why we had jobs doing what we did.

 

Not sure if you wired or installed any of this stuff or merely just use the equipment for your job. However if you’re smart enough to know that much I’m pretty sure you can figure out to come up with a length you’ll need for a few wire runs. Even if some has or had a kit available there are plenty of factors that come into play that can vary those lengths.

If money isn’t a factor, why don’t you just take it to someone who will do the work professionally on your truck, exactly they way you want, and tailor fitted for your application?

 

Do you have the lengths? Yes or No? If not, can you please for the love of Jesus stay out of my thread? I asked nicely a few times.

 

Wow......several have offered you solutions to your quest.

Although, none have spoon fed you the answers you want.

Welcome to the Thinking/Problem Solving World.

Good luck with your quest.

 

I'm responding to let you know I have not done this mod, sorry not sorry.

Irrelevant opinion: I just buy the wire I need and cut myself. If I were you I would just get some 1/0 on Amazon or something, cut want you want but instead of crimping, use a torch to heat the terminals and solder the wires in.

 

This guy talks big but like @Knute said, he doesn't want solutions he just wants an easy button. If his time was truly so valuable he would've done exactly what you said - drop it off at the shop and have it done for him. He was clowning in one of the FI threads awhile ago too.

Oh btw, I haven't done the big 3 mod either.

OA

 

Already told you what to do to get a measurement. And someone else had a good recommendation using a piece of string then measuring that.


Maybe it’s time we turn your thread into a dumpster fire since you’re being a douche and it’s a Friday evening on TW. Plus it’s my birthday so I may or may not yet be a little tipsy

 

@Lawfarin

Happy Birthday!!!

Have piece of cake and your favorite drink.

Family and I just celebrated the last Friday of January with DQ Blizzards.

 

We celebrate another month of Covid not invading our household.

Stay well, stay smart, stay healthy.

100% troll

my gf calls me the Big 3

 

many electrical engineers in this thread. a ground is a ground is a ground. As long as the cable is the right gauge for the amp load, it doesn't matter if you ground it to the block or frame.

 

OP make sure to post some pics and the lengths for future reference.

 

Who gives a shit?
If you want to go under there and measure it and make it yourselves, good for you.
If you don't know the answer, all you have to say is you don't know or stay quit, which I 've nicely asked you many times.
Like I said once before, I just want to buy the kit. No idea why you're so butt hurt on your birthday for me spending money on the kit. Perhaps you're lonely or got too much free time. Whatever guy.
Bill @BamaToy1997, from Marion Auto who has made 1000s of these kits for 2nd gens, when I finally got in touch with him, texted me for the measurements to make my kit. I thought I will ask from others who may have done it.

 

Agreed. Buy the wire in the tens of feet on Amazon and just wire it your damn self. Use the extra on future projects. Crack open beer. Done.

 

I’ve done 1/0 positive to alternator
1/0 negative to alternator
1/0 negative to transmission case
1/0 neg to fender and frame
1/0 to starter
1/0 to fuse block
I have no idea extact lengths I never thought to measure them. I bought that iwiss lug crimper with wire cutter and a 50ft roll did it for me 25’ red 25’ black, heat and some lugs. I can give you rough estimates.
Pos to alternator 3’
to starter 3’
Neg to fender 18”
Neg to alt 3’
Neg to transmission 4’
Neg to frame 2’

 

Double WOW WOW.......

Seriously....You already have the measurements????

 

Can't you read? He asked me for the measurements in the text?

 

Did you tell him you are still waiting to be cuddled and spoonfed the info?
