this may seem kind of retarded...just curious though.


when i did my 3g swap i followed the write up to the T.

well i noticed a while back when i was doing some modding the two orange and black wires(i think they are 10-12gauge or something pretty large) slipped out of the eyelet i crimped on them and were no longer attached to the back of the alt. but i had no issues charging. what do those two wires do? do i even need them now that i run the 4gauge from the alt to the battery?

i dont have any close up shots my set up and the tech article in the 5.0 section seems to not be working so i cant post the picture. but thats what i used to do this swap. do you know what the two orange/black wires do?

i think one of them goes to gauge and one controls the internal voltage regulator. i'm not using either of them but my alternator is a one wire alternator.

Kyle those are the 2 power wires that fed the o/e alt. Since you ran the 4 gauge wire, that is supposed to take the place of those 2. Basically it's a non issue.

so i can just cut them, cap em and forget about it?

Take off the other end towards the starter solenoid or you will have live wires.

Pretty much

or that too.

if you can pull the two wires out completely go ahead. the 4g wire takes their place
