Hello all,
I am in the process of updating my battery terminals and big wires. I just put in a 1/0 ground wire to the engine and probably will do the same size wire to the starter. I have a later model mopar mini starter, anyone know how long the wire to the starter normally is and what size bolt is on the starter? I am also wondering if there is any benefit in replacing my 8Ga wire from alternator stud to Battery positive with the same 1/0 GA. Is that overkill for a 95Amp Alternator? Does it give me any benefits for the roughly $70 that wire will cost me? I get full alternator voltage on the battery but am not sure if the 8GA is enough for the current. I have to run 10 - 15 ft of this.
