hey everybody,what will it do if i run a higher output alternator,and the current draw is too high,ive upgraded grounds and wires from atlernator to batterie batterie to frame and frame to block,with some 4 gage wire. and i got some 8 gage for the body gorunds.and i got another 4 gage from case of alternator to frame.i currently runin 12.6 volts with STOCK alt when idle and 12.v when my fan is on.every time my fan goes,the lights dim!and im just about to upgrade my wiring harness of my headlights.

other than the fan ,and high output headlights(comming soon),i got nothin else that take more juice.its just my fan when im at idle in traffic,the voltage can go down to 11 even 10. what should i do?
