So I'm getting ready to do the Big3 wiring upgrade when I noticed that the stock alternator wire (black with a light stripe) runs over to the fuse/relay panel where it splits off into 3 fuseable links.
One links back to the alternator's 2 wire plug (orange/green wire??) and the other 2 seem to go to the fuse/relay box.
Does anyone know the values of the fuseable links??
I'd like to replace all 3 with a fused distribution block and I wanted to make sure I used the proper size fuse for each.
I'm guessing the small fuseable link will be a 15-20a as it's a small wire, maybe 14ga.
Should the fuse to the fuse/relay box be 130-150a to be close to the stock 130a alternator output??
When I did the Big3 on my Ranger, I used a 200a alternator, 1/0ga cable & a 250a fuse between the battery & alternator.
I may upgrade the alternator in the Expo later with a 200a or 250a, and I'd like to have as much pre-wired now as possible so that swap will only take a few minutes.
My Chilton's manual didn't specify the values of the links
Thanks for any helpful info!
