Quality of work and the look when you were done with this upgrade is A+. I am still waiting on the dual battery video to drop.

@lowkeyproject7338 4 месяца назад

The video has been dropped! I apologize I had a couple issues with it. I posted and then took back down but everything is good now! Thank you for the interest and support!

@sloww_05 Месяц назад

So with running that power wire from the alternator directly to the battery is it safe to run it unfused? I’m sure the wire would burn up before causing any real damage to anything

@lowkeyproject7338 Месяц назад

I didn’t want to deal with having to change out fuses. As long as you upgrade the wiring to something bigger like the 0 gauge you shouldn’t have any problems. I have done it to a couple other trucks the same way with no issues at all! Now on my other video with the second battery install if you wanted to run a fuse to give you peace of mind that’s one way but it’s also not necessary. The only time I would put a fuse is when I’m running any kind of cable from the battery to any other source in the truck like amp and subs or exterior lighting.

How's that alternator holding up? Are you happy with it? I'm considering buying one.

@lowkeyproject7338 3 месяца назад

Honestly I love it and haven’t had any problems at all. If I had it to do over I’d buy it again! The biggest perk is not having to change the length of the belt and the voltage meter is constant.

@williamarnett3234 5 месяцев назад

I believe your oil sending unit is shot.

@lowkeyproject7338 5 месяцев назад

I already replaced as well as small screen underneath sending unit. It sucks its the cluster I think the solder connection is bad my speedometer is on the fritz as well. I’m having someone send me a custom!

How many feet ?

@lowkeyproject7338 Месяц назад

Sorry how many feet for what ? The total wire length used?

@maxlax2234 11 месяцев назад

Clean install! Question, isn’t upgrading the alternator wire not needed since you ran an upgraded wire from the positive battery post directly to the alternator? Couldn’t you have simply removed the factory alternator wire from the red box connection?

@lowkeyproject7338 11 месяцев назад

Yes you’re absolutely right, I could of eliminated it all together! Eventually I will, when I install a catch can lol thanks for the feedback!

@centermass3454 4 месяца назад

The Black alternator with the gloss Black wire loom looks BOSS.

@No_Transitory 10 дней назад

Whats the output of your alternator? I just finished installing a 320 amp in. I ended up purchasing my big 3 wire kit separately using 1/0 kit. It made a huge difference in my cars lights dimming and overall feel in power of my car. I own an 06 Acura TL and didn't realize the difference 3 wires would make on how it feels power wise. Maybe its just me but it also feels like my car cranks up faster.

@AceofSpades504 4 месяца назад

Very nice and clean setup! I was wondering what year your truck is? And did you have to modified the alternator bracket in any way to make it fit or just stock bracket, stock serpentine belt? Longer belt needed? I have a 2003 Chevy avalanche 1500 5.3vortec and was looking to upgrade my stock 105amp alternator to something similar to yours. Thanks and again awesome setup!

@lowkeyproject7338 4 месяца назад

Thank you I appreciate the compliment! I have an 03 GMC sierra 1500 4x4 it is a 5.3 as well. With the alternator I bought, I was able to use the same belt no modification for bracket everything was basically plug and play. Now saying that if you do upgrade your alternator just depending on which brand you get I know that there are some that will need the belt to be a different size. I made sure to look at reviews and descriptions before buying this alternator. I have everything I used in the description! If you have anymore questions feel free to ask and I’ll help the best I can!

@AceofSpades504 4 месяца назад

@@lowkeyproject7338 Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind. I guess I will have to research more deeply for my type of truck, don’t want to waste money haha.

@Bee-jt5wo 10 месяцев назад

Hi! I have a question. Can I run the wire from a positive battery terminal to a bolt that holds an alternator instead of the alternator outlet?

@lowkeyproject7338 10 месяцев назад

You definitely can I’m also going to end removing and running a line straight to alternator! It makes it look cleaner and frees up some space! In my case installing a catch can!😁 I’ll keep screws tho for my ground wires.

@lowkeyproject7338 10 месяцев назад

I might of miss interpreted lol if you are talking about running a positive cable from battery to the positive on the back of the alternator yes! If you mean running a positive cable to one of the guide pins holding alternator that’s a big no! I’m sorry I should of clarified before! 🙏🏼

I need to do this to my 03 but I am confused. What do you do with the stock wires? 😅

@lowkeyproject7338 8 месяцев назад

Do you mean like the stock wires that are going to the battery? I crimped all my new wires and just added them in. I believe the only wires that I can recall removing is the small wire that runs to the positive box and if you want you can just eliminate that box all together I will do a short video explaining the set up and the changes I’ve made to it 🙏🏼

@lowkeyproject7338 7 месяцев назад

I’m not sure on the gap between amps I know stock on my truck is only 145 lol I would definitely go 220 or higher how’s the volts on your gauge?

Absolutely none, it’s what I plan on doing to the truck that sparked the flames 🔥 I mean there was some good amount on diming going on when u let ur foot off gas vs when ur going and the voltage gauge would go a little lower than I liked, but nothing that’s not normal for these trucks. I have another video I’m going to drop in a couple days with the completion of this set up. I ran into some hiccups that’s slowed the process/ my pickiness but all good now! 👌🏼
