[QUOTE]Originally posted by triple b: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by SacGrown89GT: [qb] Idk why the hell im so confused. Im sure i have the wiring right but can someone please take pics of their wiring so i can copy it? I think im jus over thinkin everything. [/qb][/QUOTE]5. Wiring modifications. Remove any tape and conduit from the wiring harness on the D-shaped plug to expose the two 10 gauge (black w/orange stripe) wires. These two wires come out of the rectangle connector and then join to one wire. Cut the wires where they join into one which will leave the two wires on the rectangle connector. This will leave you with a single 10 gauge wire. This wire will still have power because it shares a fusible link with another wire at the starter solenoid. You can go thru the work of chasing the wire back to the solenoid and cutting it there or you can simply tape the end off where you made the cut. You can also use a butt connector to cover the end of the wire. In this harness you will also find a smaller white wire with a black stripe. This is the stator wire. Cut the stator wire off of the factory rectangle connector and discard the connector. This stator wire is on a separate connector on the 3G alternator which you can find at a salvage yard and possibly at an auto parts store. If you can�t find a factory plug anywhere, you can use a female spade connector. The D-shaped plug from your factory alternator will plug right into your 3G alternator so you can go ahead and plug that in now. Now its time to run your new power (4 - 6 gauge) wire. You can run it along the factory conduit in front of the radiator or you can make it nicer install and actually run the wire thru the conduit so everything looks like it came from the factory that way. If you choose to run the wire inside of the factory conduit you will need to remove your battery and battery tray as the factory conduit runs underneath it. After you are done running your new wire you can secure the factory harness in place and reinstall the battery tray and battery if you removed them. When you connect the wire to the starter solenoid it would be wise to use a fusible link or an inline fuse (150 amp) in case the wire or alternator would short out for any reason. Always solder wire connections and use shrink tube to cover the connection. Now you can install a 3/8 ring terminal on the end of the wire and connect it to the battery side of your starter solenoid. Then install a 1/4 ring terminal on the other end of the new power wire and connect it to the alternator post. Go back and double check your installation. Make sure the wires don�t get in the way of any hot or moving parts. Tape up the new wires at the alternator nice and tight just like the factory harness was The small white wire with black stripe stator wire the other wires black with orange that joins the other wire junk it or cut it back and tape the end... put a new power wire with fusible link in or fuse and wire it up...
