taylor17 Unregistered guest | I have around 1200 watts total and wen you are going down the road and turn it up the light's start diming. I know this isn't good on anything so how can I fix it be for I kill an alternater or battery? |
|
taylor17 Unregistered guest | Also it is a 98 chevy z71 and it has the stock alt. It has a place for an extra battery but I don't know if I hook up an extra battery will help. Does anyone know if hooking an extra battery will stop damage or would I be better off geting a new alt or somthing. |

Sucubus Unregistered guest | Do a big 3 first. then an alt. then an extra battery. |
|

taylor17 Unregistered guest | Sory ment stupid lol wonder what that mean's. |
|
Sucubus Unregistered guest | There are 3 main wires in your cars electrical charging system. a big 3 is adding to/increasing the size of those wires. theres lots of how-to's out there. google it. |
|
taylor17 Unregistered guest | I think I all ready killed the alt. It doesn't runn as good as it used too. What size would be best and where can I look at high output alt's. |
|
taylor17 Unregistered guest | I am going to take it to a shop to get it tested to be sure. |
