Yours is much better, I might just order one from 08

I'm not sure about better, but certainly easier to work with.

This is all such good info. i did a lot of this a few years ago. Make sure you send down the powder coat where the alt meets any metal. I also ran a ground from my second battery to the alt bolt at the alt that says GND. You guys give me more ideas...

looks like they thought about it

Just picked up Optima redtop 34R at local Advance Auto for $197.43, with core refund and tax, regular price was $259.99 + Tax, I think it was a good deal,

battery spec:

C20 Capacity:50 Ah
CCA:800 Amp
Reserve Capacity @25 Amps:100 Minutes
Group Size:BCI: 34
Internal Resistance:0.003
CA:1000 Amp

I paid around $240+ tax without core refund.

Yes it is, hope he will do more mods like this. Giving me lots of good ideas and how to do it. Seems like install is top notch. Haven't seen anyone complaining, LOL

correct me if I am wrong, begin that I am putting 250Amp alternator and keeping a 175 fuse, or should I bump the fuse up? which I don't think because that wire is going to car electric.

Here is some pictures of Big 3 upgrade and 2nd battery system, first impression on the national luna split charge system is very positive, should say I rarely get that excited about stuff. I will give you guys more info on it after few months of use. The biggest plus of the system for me is that I can charge my primary battery (starting battery) from 2nd battery, jump start myself, 2 the same batteries are not required and this system does not interfere with truck electric. Here is a link of another guy install and his review there is 17 videos (parts) to it.

Correct... keep the 175A.

Since the OEM fuse block wouldn't work for me decided to go with a double one just in case if alternator will need bigger fuse. This way I can still keep the truck side at 175Amp

 

[Chrismnj]

ok, hers is update on the H/O alternator and redtop optima battery install.
