[lwrd93]

ok so my truck has 2 wires coming off the neg and 2 wires coming off the pos post.. one of the negatives goes to my headlights and grounds there and the other grounds on my a/c bracket bolt.. then i have my pos that goes to my starter and a fusable wire that goes to my alt.. then there is a set of fusable wires going to my alt from my juction box.. i have never seen this is this right or did the guy who had it before me do something?? and when ppl remove there old wires what do they do about the fusable wires they removed? just wana get everything right before i buy this stuff.. its a 93 4.3l tbi s10 thanks

just sent you a PM, looks like you got a thread out though (good idea).

everything you're saying sounds correct, but like i said, i need to inspect under the hood of another first gen to tell you if it's true or not.

I threw my wires in the trash but there wasn't fused in any way on the 87. My dad's 93 are not fused either.

What junction box you talking about? One you installed? I have a bone stock 92 4.3 parts truck that I can try to look at for you that has never had any of the electric stuff touched besides the battery being swapped.

that would be great neo... the wire that thats goin from my battery to alternator is one wire but then has 2 fuse lookin deals.. then makes 2 wires in a loom then back out to one wire and hooks to the alt.

then there are 2 more fused wires comin from the juction box or whatever u call it that also go to my alternator.. like this





the 2 bottom red ones are the one thats in the above pics.. they go from that box to my alt im wondering if the wire goin from my battery to the alt is tied in with that wire somehow??

[lwrd93]

anyone help me?

moved my amp wire to my battery and hooked up a dist block for now where all my wires hook to my positve post..

[neo71665]

I'm pretty sure what your calling fuses are diodes (only allow current to flow one way)

The 2 wires that go to that factory block supply the ecm and volt meter on the dash if I recall right. The other wire on the alt is the charging wire and thats the one you wanna upgrade.

Glad to see you finally fixed your amp wire.

[lwrd93]

so the diodes are on the wire goin from my alt to the battery? the wire i upgrade right? do u need them or can i take that wire off and replace it with a 0 gauge?

[lwrd93]

so these are what u say are diodes?
