If u do the batter to alt and grounds but gotta wait a week for the alt to box would that be ok
How long or how many feet was your positive wire to the alternator to the positive terminal on the battery?
Out of thousands and thousands of videos, this is the only one that has shown exactly what to do with the rest of the box (some show before and after without explaining how to change wires). Only question what did you do with the old positive wire? Thank you so much.
Cool idea on the isolator placement. That tray gave me much hell. Had to bore the lower hole to get it in. Nice job
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.
What does the stress-inducing music have to do with it?
Andy milinokis?
Who?
Did you need a bigger belt?
No i made sure I got an alternator to install that didn’t require me to go belt hunting thankfully lol
How many feet ?
Sorry how many feet for what ? The total wire length used?
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
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.
@@lowkeyproject7338 Okay just thought i’d ask. Thank you!
@sloww_05 No problem man !
where can i get this wire from
There’s a link in the bio for it it’s on Amazon it’s GearIT 1/0 wire
How's that alternator holding up? Are you happy with it? I'm considering buying one.
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.
where did the alt come from link?

You are good at working on cars. I can never. Nice install. 👍
A nice clean install per usual. I like the 1/2" cable clamps to keep the wires orderly and secure, a nice touch. I have a dual battery system in my Tahoe, but I don't have an isolator. I would like to have one, since I have had the starting battery go dead. I am planning on upgrading the pos and neg wires to and from the two batteries to 0 gauge when I have time. This install may be a little outside of my skill level, due to the fusebox.
Do I have to install the fuse tap in order to install the isolator? I would rather not mess with the fusebox. Really, I would prefer to pay you to do the install for me, I like work done the right way.
Thank you I appreciate it! The install looks a lot more than what it actually is! If you decide to do this install lmk and I can always walk you through it with your vehicles specs, I really don’t mind. I can give you my instagram and help you out if you’d like 👌🏼💯 For the system you already have I would definitely upgrade wires! Better safe than sorry and do you have a bigger alternator in your Tahoe as well?
If you install battery relay/ isolator you definitely need to tap into fuse to protect from auxiliary battery. Right now the system your running without the isolator sounds like it’s just two battery’s that are continuously on when truck is. That will definitely drain the batteries a lot faster and will give you the primary battery a big load all the time hence the dying issue. The isolator and fuse tap will eliminate that. When the truck is on both batteries are running/ being charged. When the truck is off/ key on engine off the isolator will separate the primary from auxiliary so you don’t end up with a dead primary. The secondary battery can also act as a jump star to the primary if it does go dead so that a plus to!
@@lowkeyproject7338 No. I have the original stock alternator that might be 150 amps, that is 8 years old now. I want to install a Meckman 250 amp alternator. Agreed, both batteries are in use at all times and I believe both go dead at the same time as well. I don't think it was installed correctly.
@@lowkeyproject7338 Does the Isolator come with the fuse tap?
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.
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!
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!
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!
@@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.
The Black alternator with the gloss Black wire loom looks BOSS.
I like the camera work in your videos, you are careful to show each part, item along the way, the music is also very good. I like the way you work, nice neat and clean. I would like you to swap out my water pump too. It has 97,000 miles on it.
Thank you it’s honestly really nice getting feedback on my videos! Editing is alot of work lol but worth it in the end. I just replace my steering box and put a new power steering pump in as well so that one was fun but the water pump isn’t bad at all. One of the future projects I’d like to do is switch to E Fans and that will take a lot of stress off the water pump just something to look forward to! 🤔😁
@@lowkeyproject7338 On one video, I think it was the alternator install, you had the camera facing towards the sun, that's a no go. But, you are good about showing where things have to go with your camera angles an showing the camera each step of the way in the process, because guys like me want to see one step at a time. The links you put in the description are also key, makes it much easier if you know where to buy the parts. I like your taste in music. It is also good that you keep the videos short 5:00-6:00 minutes makes it seem less intimidating for folks to try to make the repair the you did. Hey, if it is only a 6 minute video it can't be too bad to do myself. I want to see the dual battery install video. If you ever come to the East coast LMK. Big fan of your work. You take pride in how it looks when you are done, I can see that.
Hi low-key. It's me. Your Cod buddy. Nice editing skills girl.
I believe your oil sending unit is shot.
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!
@@lowkeyproject7338 Its really easy to resolder them. Bunch of videos online showing what components to go after. Just remember, use flux, high heat, and go quick. Break open a junk electronic to practice on
That oil pressure tho 😂
Ya the the gauge for it went out lol I already replaced the oil pressure switch and screen under it 😂 the speedometer is also going out 😅 I got a guy whose gonna build a custom cluster for me with the Trans temp just haven’t pulled the trigger yet! Nice eye lol
I get it I had a 2003 suburban and a 2005 Tahoe the instrument clusters are always a problem I got a custom made one on isp and it was definitely worth the money at least it’s not the o ring for the oil pick up tube lmao those suck.
Ya they definitely do and that’s funny cause that’s one of my future projects lol new oil pan gasket, oil pickup tube, and oil pump. Just got done with the steering box and power steering pump! Good shit tho man and thanks for the feedback 🙏🏼
Get your neutral safety switch checked also. Could be that if the speedometer is acting erratic also
@@williamarnett3234 thank you I appreciate it!
@LowkeyProject what size wire sleeve are you using for tru 0 gauge
1/2 inch here is the link for the one I ordered a.co/d/9q5Ikou
Thanks 💪🏼
Looks so clean super nice work
Thank you I really appreciate that 🙏🏼
@@lowkeyproject7338 I agree, very clean work. Can I pay you to upgrade my 2016 Tahoe? Where are you located ?
@@lowkeyproject7338 About how many feet of 0 gauge wire did your use?
Did you change the wire going to the starter? If not, you're going to have to keep the red battery box .all i could change at the .... face palm moment is the cabel from the alternator to the red box face palm
Tell me why I just got done making some wires for in there and noticed that myself 🤦♀️ the wire going down to starter lol 😂 ya ima wait for that until I buy my catch can
What issues and symptoms were u hvn that made u do wire upgrades?
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! 👌🏼
Them wires look really nice dang good job
@Michael-nu1py Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I have another video I’m about to drop in a couple days with a second battery install and isolator I hope you like it!
@@lowkeyproject7338 awsome good deal I’m bout to do all this to my truck
@@lowkeyproject7338 I definitely would like to bring my 2016 Tahoe to you for the same upgrade work. Are you interested? Make a video for your channel when you do mine. Your work is top notch.
Where did you get the alternator and what amperage is it?
I bought it from a company called deep motor on eBay, it had really positive reviews and it’s a 220 amp. Works for what I need it for now but when this one goes I’ll probably look into some other options 🤔
www.ebay.com/itm/401879822233?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=HOlGcXiDTbW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=6JscLy8WSGa&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
I’ve been needing a high amp one. Guy I had bought the truck from put a 5.3 alternator on my 6.0. And I can tell it’s not enough ⚡️
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?
I need to do this to my 03 but I am confused. What do you do with the stock wires? 😅
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 Easy enough, thanks man. I understand now. You just add them to stock and replace alternator to positive box with larger.
Yes definitely really straight forward 👌🏼
@lowkeyproject7338 Would you be willing to make me a kit of those same cables and sell them to me for my Chevy 5.3 just like yours, I would greatly appreciate it
I actually find making them pretty satisfying so I wouldn’t mind but it’s very easy to do
@@lowkeyproject7338 I would be very grateful if you could make me a complete kit just like yours for my 2002 Tahoe. Could I contact you through another social network?
@@JimmySLuna Insta is (illuminate_ Elevate) it’s my personal account it doesn’t relate to channel. I haven’t made an account for this yet.
@@lowkeyproject7338 I added you
The oil pressure low
The gauge on the cluster lol 😂 I’m going to end up putting a custom in that also has trans temp
Oil pressure gauge swung over to the left is a more recognizable symbol of chevrolet than the bowtie logo.
👍
so essentially all it is to it is running a wire from the positive to the back of the alternator, running a negative to the alt bolt and then another ground to the chassis
That about sums her up lol
Gonna get rid of the positive box and do a catch can right there
Will probably end up doing the same, I’ve been meaning to add one ever since I did a cam swap on mine
Definitely come in handy I do a lot of cold starts and drive. Been waiting to do the cam’s on mine but got a couple things I want to get done before
Good shit tho I love modding these trucks 🔥
Where did you get that roll of wire cover from and whats it called
It’s expandable braided cable sleeve! You can buy a whole role on Amazon it’s a good price and I love how it looks!

Here’s the link for the one I purchased ☝🏼
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?
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.
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! 🙏🏼
Can I ask why does a mechanic have a claw hammer in his tool box ?
I do alot of work not just mechanics 🧰 I so happened to forget I tossed it in there 😂 Nice spot 🧐
to pull out nails, of course.
@timtrial3971 🤣
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?
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!
I may of contributed 😅
Wonder why there was mud in there 😂
Huh 🤔 idk 😂
