In many posts ppl say replace the wires on the alt with bigger gauge..

Anyone have a picture of this so i know whatca'll talkin bout..i dont wanna mess up. i have a good idea of what to do...but im not 100%

Never messed with a Alt b4 so that should explain it all.

every car is different, but there should be a wire that runs off of a post on your alternator and goes to the battery...this is the wire you want to upgrade to a larger gauge...

then you upgrade the ground wire from the negative terminal on your battery to a larger wire as well, and you are done...really simple...
