[QUOTE="adulbrich, post: 8575149, member: 661255"] Got the alternators mounted and pulled all my old wiring. Unfortunately, because I got the triple output posts, I couldn't group all the GP alternators together. The post off the edge hit on the bracket, so I had to move the stock alt over. The stock alt's post is off the back. Next, I'll be wiring them up with the blue box regulators. [IMG]http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag209/adulbrich/image1%203_zpsava2syr4.jpg[/IMG] At Lowe's, I found an outdoor electrical junction box that fits nicely where the second battery would be if my truck was a diesel. It's plastic and will do nicely to contain all my fuse holders between the caps and alternators. [IMG]http://i1369.photobucket.com/albums/ag209/adulbrich/image2%201_zpsctzsdgiq.jpg[/IMG] Pulling my oldest ground wire, I found that the insulation wore off under my truck [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif[/IMG] Luckily, it was a ground and not a positive wire.

I'd like to reuse as much of the wire as possible. [/QUOTE]
