Re: Fordyce In June...
I run everything in 2 gauge, either buy "roll ends" bulk cable or extra long pre-made battery cables from a local jobber, then crimp up my own terminations using Texas Aggie toenail clippers. Anything greater in ampacity than 2 gauge is a waste of copper resources.
A BONDED "ground system is imperative, far superior to ANYTHING that was ever OEM.
That means ALL cabling is same gauge. Run the battery ground to the engine, engine ground to the frame, frame ground to the body, front clip to body, pickup bed (if equipped) to body. I'm not talkin' them wimpeeazz "braided" ground "straps" that are equal to about 6>8 gauge. I'm talkin' cable with proper termination, bolted to cleanly abraded metal, then covered with liquid electrical tape.
