- 96 Explorer XLT 4wd V6
My Explorer came stock with the 95 amp alternator which just isn't cranking out enough juice for the stereo I have. I'm looking at upgrading to the 130 amp version which from my understanding will fit, but in addition to that I'm also adding an additional run of wire from the alternator to the battery.
My question is if it's safe to run a length of 4 gauge wire from the alternator to the battery (fused, of course). I believe the current wire runs from the alternator to the starter relay and plan on leaving that one in place. Would it be possible to run that additional wire straight to the battery from the alternator?
I've got a 96 Explorer XLT with the 4.0 V6 in it.
