Sorry to ask such a dumb question but I don't know what you guys are talking about.

The posts refer to it but don't really say what it is.

i belive the big 3 was actually , (1)power wire from alt to batt, (2) ground from alt to chassis (3) batt to chassis.

I copied that from my search, and there are a few links that go into great detail.

I have also heard that the big 3 is; HO alt., deep cycle battery (ie. Yellow Top) and the bigger power/ground wires as mentioned above. I have also heard it is only the wires as dwarren said. Perhaps someone could clear this up for me once and for all.

You hit it, pimpn... Power source (alternator), storage (battery) and transmission (wires)...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
