Ok thanks for the help guys, I ran a #6 wire through a fuse block and to a larger dist. post that I added. The Distribution Post IS WIRED DIRECTLY TO THE BATTER . I also added an extra # 6 Ground to the alternator. This all came in a Kit and worked really well. Now wondering about that original little #10 power wire. I know it goes back through a junction in the harness through a fusable link to that small little [stock] Connection block. and then to the battery. That connection in th harness also sends power to the cab connection. So Its makes sense to leave that all hooked up. But I need help at the alt. Do I need to hook it up there as well. I could also hook up the original ground, its all there if I need it. Otherwise I might just tuck that original harness out of sight or better yet get rid of it, since I am running a volt meter with no warning light. in my new gauge cluster I don't plan to hook up the other wires at all.
