    Make Sure You Upgrade The Feed Wire As Well to 1/0 Or Bigger! I Used 8 Gauge Since I Did Not Have Enough Wire. Bass On 💪

      The feed wire is the ground wire in the small red box joining the alternator and battery correct

    Solid video bro. Good job. My only feedback is that I personally would've picked a different grounding location other than that spot on the firewall. I would've dome a short run to the frame but still good video

  • @carl3820

    Would be good if you threw a meter on to see where your voltage was resting and even to see the amperage output from the alt. ✌️

  • @MikeMcChiken
    @MikeMcChiken 3 года назад +4

    Just wondering if you used the sensor that the original ground wire ran through before it connects to the battery . I found on other videos if you bypass this or even if you keep it and run extra grounds to your battery it can bypass the sensor with a easier route and your battery will drain a lot more before charging . Maybe Mechman has some circuitry where you dont need the sensor anymore ?

    • @ernestpaul2484
      @ernestpaul2484 2 года назад

      I believe that is on 05' and up. My 03' Z71 Tahoe doesn't have that ring sensor for the grounds.

  • @orabates1823
    @orabates1823 3 года назад +7

    The reason why Mechman relocated the lug on the alternator is so that you would have to replace that wire. You should always replace that wire with the correct size. If your going to use 0/2 gauge wire for the power and ground then you should use 0/2 wire for that to.

    • @SleepyBoiii
      @SleepyBoiii  3 года назад +2

    • @bigheverly
      @bigheverly 3 года назад +1

      I was gonna say, I think that 8 gauge is gonna be a bottleneck in your circuit. 🤣 that’s good if he’s changed it out tho

    • @SleepyBoiii
      @SleepyBoiii  3 года назад

      Lol yes its 2/0 now, needed something temporary

    • @ernestpaul2484
      @ernestpaul2484 2 года назад +1

      The length of 8ga. wire he used is not a fusible link as is the 8ga. OEM one. There is a reason that it is a fusible link. Like to prevent a catastrophic fire/meltdown. Also the 2ga. positive wire from the alternator to the battery should have an inline fuse holder and a fuse of the appropriate size so if something were to go wrong in the circuit it would blow and hopefully save the entire truck. Mechman shows this fuse in their drawings. I just ordered and got a 240a alternator from Mechman and before I pulled the trigger I spoke with them to ensure I had all my ducks in a row in regard to wire size, fuse ratings, etc.

    • @buddyrebel_Garcia
      @buddyrebel_Garcia 2 года назад

    • @fusiondensity3287
      @fusiondensity3287 2 года назад

      I had high voltage charge after i installed my mechman 370 elite because I didn't hook up the blue wire to the fuse box at first. It was putting out 18 volts and my power window switch got smoked and all the lights super bright. Once I hooked the blue wire up it worked perfect. After about 6 months it started charging at 18 volts again. I took it out and have to send it in for repair. It might be the voltage regulator. I don't know.

    Does the belt matter when upgrading Alternators bc Ik they have different belts for dif amps, Or does that not matter?

    • @ronkrohne9253
      @ronkrohne9253 10 месяцев назад

      The reason for the different belts is due to the size of the different amp alternators. The center of the pulley of a 145 amp sits higher than a 105 amp. So the 145 needs a little longer belt.

    I bought a Mechman 400 amp for my 2000 Silverado but I replaced the factory alt with a Top Street Performance 220 about a year ago and when I'm driving the Top Street is steady at 14.4 to 14.6 and at idle about 13.6 to 13.8. I'm running 4 Wolfram amps with a W7500 @ 4 ohms on a single Wolfram AU 15V2 (2500 rms sub) but I have 2 of those 15's but only installed one. On the dyno video I saw that W7500 did 3817 rms @ 4 ohms and over 6700 rms @ 2 ohms that's why I bought the Mechman because I'll be running both subs at 2 ohms. I'll be running the Mechman strictly for my sound system directly to my rear battery (a Northstar SMSAGM480) as a dual alt setup with the Top Street running the truck's electrical system. I even upgraded that same factory wiring you replaced with GP Car Audio 4 gauge ofc because the ring terminal broke during installation and I had some extra wire I had from installing a small system in my wife's SUV. I'll also be running 2 runs of Sky High ofc 1/0 gauge from the alt to the rear battery. I was wondering how's your alt performing?

      @SleepyBoiii  4 года назад

      Tbh there is a couple things i want to around the body... Like hd hood, escalade vents, & escalade bumper... Once i send it to bodyshop & paint i can ask them to fix that gap & the gap that the rear bumper will have.. There is alot of dings from previous owner as well... But thanks man! This truck will be one of a kind when im finished 💪

    • @SleepyBoiii
      @SleepyBoiii  4 года назад +2

      Sometimes the whine is normal.. First things i would look at is your belt. Make sure its not loose , make sure its a perfect fit. I would also check your grounds, make sure you have good grounds.

    • @ronkrohne9253

      The big 3 is just the wiring upgrade. Bigger power wire from alternator to battery and then bigger ground wire to ground body, frame and engine together

    • @SleepyBoiii

      No, you have too connect stock harness with the harness that came with the alternator

    • @tonyfremont
      @tonyfremont 4 года назад

      You want to be sure your power output and ground of your alternator are upgraded all the way to the battery. 400A can burn through stock wiring. You don't want the alternator dumping 400A into a small wire trying to get it to the battery, and the ground path counts too.
