Have you or are you going to upgrade the big 3? Any cap really just remember 1 farad for every 1000watts, the Tsunami 5 farad are really nice w digital read out and blue Tsunami LED, a little pricey but nice, as for as a battery Optima yellow top/red tops are nice as well as Kenetic

yea, the big 3 are done, I have had caps before, always the 1 farad, and honestly, i never noticed that it helped with the vehicles electricity loss (dimming lights), maybe the trick is a nice big 5F one. I do currently have a new top line, biggest autozone battery, the yellow / red tops were not in my budget, when i started this project, and i still have the original battery sitting in the shed, and it was not that old when i bought the truck, so pending if i could find a place to mount it (not inside the cab), obviously), i was debating hooking up with an isolator, if it would even be worth it, but the cap, if big enough, might take care of what I am thinking the 2nd battery would do huh?
