Big 3 upgrade on a Dodge Dakota

Hey everybody just my take on the Big 3 upgrade on my 2008 Dodge Dakota electrical charging system. The main cables that I upgraded are alternator to inline fuse, then inline fuse to fuse box and positive battery terminal to fuse box and then Negative to chassis ground, I used 1ga cable wire from my local junkyard out of an old dodge charger, and dodge magnum, the crimping tools I bought from amazon and also the terminals and heat shrink with glue on the inside, I also used a 250amp fuse breaker also from amazon. Hope this video helps anybody trying to upgrade their vehicles charging system, thing that I had to modify were fuse box cover to fit the cables and ring terminals just be patient and take it slow.

Truly. Sometimes it seems that 05+ daks are disregarded over the previous gen daks.

Hey, 06 Dakota owner here! Just curious what the benefit of this mod is? Definitely as one commenter stated, we're a very small community, us 3rd Gen Dakota guys lol

[@kingboom13]

06 here too man. It's for better flow and ground of the electrical system help it run better voltage. Ive got my truck done with 2/0 welding cable. I ran power and ground front to back for the system.

@@kingboom13 Thanks! I'm thinking I might do it if I end up putting in a winch and/or a fridge in mine. Looking at a t case rebuild, some tie rods and a front wheel bearing first lol

Hi. The motor will have 10 or 12 gage wire on the block but you can put your ground in any boot hole you wish. I used the bolt for the alltnater so it is dearly grounded to the bat. I put a long bolt throw my bat turm along with the cheesy stereo and body ground. It is a grate thing to do . I'm glad I did

It is hard to take someone unionyon with a smoke hanging out of their ear!!. I did the same thing to my 2000 Dakota. It worked out great!!. But I have a lot of electronica so I still have to up grade the alt hard to a 250 amp!!. I hope it will run all the stuff.

Which motor do you have? I have the v6 and need to do this for my next radio install. I'd like to know where the motors ground wire is. Personally haven't looked but figured I'd ask.

[@joey-cn6mt]

Go with Evans you will like them a lot.more power and killing

I have a HO 250a alt, all upgraded wires and 3 batts but I rarely change above 14.4 because of the PCM regulator. It sucks. Anyone else have this problem?

[@joey-cn6mt]

14.4 is not bad??
