Denso Alternator Installation

See thats the problem, The guys who have all these electrical upgrades, but old stock wiring like me. I have HIDS, MSD, Gauges and Im adding Electric fans. I want to get a better Alt. maybe even the denso since its smaller and lighter than the stock higher amp one, but I have to worry about the stock wiring dont I ? I have relays in the Hids and will in the Fans.

You need to have healthy wiring with the proper ga wire for each load. When I installed the later model mopar charging system (from 30a to 74a) I installed a 4 ga wire from the alt to the starter relay. The bulk head connector was always my fear until I did away with it completely... its there but has the wires push straight through... no connectors. As well as the "Amp gauge by-pass"

I saw that I was going to be installing upgraded items so I decided that I needed a new wiring harness altogether. So I went with the EZ-wiring harness. I didn't realize how bad the factory wiring was until I got in out and it was laying on the floor. EEwwww!

The relays are the life savers.... the old wiring lets say for your headlights just turns into a "trigger" wire instead of carrying the load. You're going down the right path... just keep doing what you're doing.
