I have Question
 
This is bin going on for more them a year now. At night with all the lights on the gauges and head lights pulsate every like 30 seconds when I'm driving down the road. When I start her up, the airride compressor gose on and then 20 seconds later the 2 intercooler fans go on. When the fans go on the idea drops down to 700rpm and then goes back up to 1200rpm. I think I'm just using to much power.

Do you all think I need

A ground kit? Which brand and which one? I know they are big on the inports but has anybody down one?

A bigger alternator? Which brand and which one?

A different batter? Which brand and which one?

Thanks

I was having problems. I s/c was blowing out the spark. I have know Idea why this was happening. I was told to get the MSD box but one was not going to hold a constent spark thrue all 8 spark plugs. MSD gave me a lot more power.

So let me guess... some shop said you needed it and they sold and put it on for you? Not only that but it looks as though its sitting right on top of your air filter or the metal piping. I know for a fact those boxes get hotter than hell. Why put them right there and not mount then elsewhere?
