I am upgrading my charging system. I've already replaced all the battery cables with bigger gauge wires. I just got a CS144 alt to replace the CS 130 that is acting like it has a blown diode (charging, but not like it should). Now I want to replace the 12V+ charge wire that goes from the alt to the battery with a bigger gauge wire.
My question:
When going to a bigger gauge charge wire and upgrading to a 140 amp alt from the 100 amp alt what do you do with the stock fusible link? Do you just re-use the fusible link? Or, do you go to a higher rated fusible link, and if so, what should be used? I have a tendancy to go into overkill mode when doing something like this, but I want no problems down the road.
Your ideas/reccommendations will be gladly accepted and taken into consideration.
