i just want to check if im goin to be messing with the right wires on my alt....i have a 97 4runner and theres that kinda big...4ga i guess wire coming off the top part of the alt and then theres the clip in thing a little behind it...those are the only two wires i see, so im guessing the clip is for regulation n stuff and the bigger wire is for the power. im going to be putting some 1/0ga wire from my alt to the battery and just watned to make sure im messing with the right wires..so can someone clarify this? thanks guys..oh and i did my electric fan mod the other night and i love it! a little more power but the big jump is in throttle response...highly recommended. thanks to all the yotatechers, i have another completed mod.

yes you are. increasing this wire will give more output from your alternator, its part of the "big 3" upgrade.

thanks northfacer..i just wanted to check if i was touchin the right wire...yeah i get big voltage drops with my amps n stuff so i jsut wanted to help my alt out a little and see if i can get a little more juice from it. thanks

i put my 1/0 wires in and i dont get as big of voltage drops now so im happy with the mod, but i had to keep the stock wires from the alt on, cause its connected to the starter somewhere cause i just kept getting "click, click click" when i tried to start without the wire on. so i just have the stock wire, along with the 1/0 over it. sadly, the dccontrol unit didnt last long, as it somehow fried and doesnt work now...and delta is being a pita and giving me the runaround on warranty stuff...hpefully when i get a new unit, itll be more hardy
