    Measuring the Output of a 300 amp Alternator

    I have a 300 amp alternator, digital battery separator and dual battery setup. After other pressing projects are finished I want to turn my attention to my power distribution/usage. I realize I'm not putting out 300 amps ALL the time NOR that I might NEVER see the full 300 amps. PRESUMABLY...

    Rear Differential Temp Gauge

    I'm one of those guys who has an overhead and center console and think it's :quote:cool:quote: to feel like your in a cockpit. I have the triple gauge set up on my A pillar and will be adding some gauges on top of the dash and/or possibly over head. Just kicking around different ideas I came...

    4l60e/Auto-Trac Query: WHAT THE FWONK?!?!

    I will give a semi- condensed timeline leading up to the question (s) and keep the extra commentary to a minimum. A few years ago I was driving my 2002 Silverado from point A to point B. All kinds of noises started happening and I pulled to the side of the road. My transmission didn't have but a...

    "Magical" U-Joints ?

    So while rounding up parts and fluids to do my t-case/trans swap I thought maybe I should swap out the u-joints even though they are "new" (replaced less then a year ago) and I came across a few things. ONE did Moog merge with or buy out a company call Precision? At the parts store that USED to...

    I'm looking for the largest (or larger then my factory '02 Silverado) external tans cooler that I can mount in the factory location and use the quick connects.

    4l60e Servo Shift Kit Question

    The long and short of it is I am swapping out my trans AGAIN. I'm thinking in the long run I should look into going to school part time to learn how to build them and NOT trust ANYONE but me to rebuild. Moving along. One of my little "brothers" had a donor vehicle he blew the head and fwonked...

    Best OBDII Android App

    so I ordered a BAFX Products® - Bluetooth OBD2 scan tool off of Amazon. I've read several reviews and it seems it's a toss up between TouchScan and Torque Pro. Do ya'll favor one over the other or have a better alternative? They both are about $5 each but, it seems Torque Pro has more plug...

    4-high Mod and HIDs

    I did the 4-high mod a while back on my '02 Silverado then I added HIDs to the low. Worked great BUT, when I added HIDs to the high no go. I tried a few things but, wasn't sure how to get it right. :confused: With the relays and the whole reverse polarity and then having the low beams...

    I was getting ready to get a front end alignment at my friend's shop after I installed new MOOG inner/outer tie rod ends ( purchased through site sponsor Rock Auto :thumbs:).

    Is there a positive/negative on a 12 volt Horn?

    I am replacing the PITA horns on my '02 Silverado. Well ok just the drivers side high tone is the PITA. :frustration: The aftermarkets aren't OEM and they don't indicate on the horn or the install guide that one is (+) or (-) and both spades are the same size. On the factory it has a special...

    Big Three upgrade Question

    A while back I bought a 200 amp (100 amp idle) alternator. At the time I couldn't find 2 gauge wire locally without buying a $70 kit. So I used 1 gauge. As you can see I replaced the factory wire and fusible link with new and an in line fuse. I now have found several on line sources...
