    Alternators

    were not transmitting 100 amps over 50' like a welder would, realistically, 10gauge would even be fine for a 3' section according to this and ma ny other charts. that beign said, I do have 4awg on mine.

    Alternators

    Yes I have a true one wire, got ti from starters-alternators on ebay. had it built to 150 amps. was for a mustang v6, 94-98 year i believe. Just hook up battery cable to it and thats it. turns on at 1100-1200rpm I think, and charges fine down at idle, as long as u rev it up enough to get it to...

    yes the PSD plugs are dual coil so they are self regulated. like those 6.2 plugs as well. Update, so got the relay hooked up properly, I think it was before but anyway, it works. Go to glow for 7 seconds, nothing! pull all the plugs, all 8 are dead. only 3 years old. SO i guess i must have...

    suggestions for "upside-down" front D60 shocks

    the 5100s were deisgned for lifted trucks, with bigger tires (i assume the tire part, as what other reason should one lift a truck) I cant comment for a fact, but I ASSUME the 5100s would be valved stiffer to help control the larger unsprung mass of a bigger tire. But how much bigger, what kind...
