Well, I installed my 3g a couple of weeks ago and the voltage still dropped when I turned on the lights and things. So I bought the FFI 1 7/8 pulley b/c I have a smaller crank pulley (per the previous owner). I just put it on and I still have the same problem with voltage drop with accessories on. What have I done:
1. Cut room for 3g.
2. Run 4 gauge wire from soleniod to alt. with a 150 amp fuse.
3. Attach white wire using spade connector.
4. Used same plug on the other connector on the alt.
I haven't installed a 4 gauge ground yet....would this cause my voltage to still drop? Battery is brand new (2 months old).
Side note: I've had a problem with the oil pressure gauge dropping above 3k rpms. Since the 3g swap this problem has gone away. Weird, huh?
I've got new gauges sitting in the closet but don't have time to install right now.
Anyways....help with 3g please.
