Stock alternator does suck! I went with a Bosch 140A and a smaller pulley. Really helped out at idle for my excursion. I was hitting 12.8-12.9v at idle with everything on. Now it’s 13.8-14.2V all day everyday.

hi, I want to do the same to my f350. how big is that transmission oil cooler and what are the in - out size, also what is the brand. Also want to know the size of your radiator fan on your racing truck. I also in the process to delete the oil cooler in my truck Did you connected the coolant on the bullet proof plate to the odawg intake? Keep up the good work Thanks for the videos

Did you have your own fuel lines made to mount your reg. return by the brake res? Mine is on the alternator and I don’t really like it there.

@@LeftLaneDiesels I absolutely Love my Tapshifter, being able to hold 4th gear while towing and the engine braking power from the turbo is definitely a brake saver. It's really great seeing how well your 6.0 build has turned out and how you're crushing the sled pulls.

I'm getting ready to upgrade my alternator what's the biggest to go up to without having to change the stock wires

Part of the issue with the charging/power system is not large enough gauge wire. That’s why you see I added 2 grounds and a power off the alternator. What is really lacking is higher amperage from the alternator at lower rpms. This takes many miles to see problems. But this is why FICMs power board fails. So if you are going to upgrade your alternator it’s best to go all out and get a 180+ alternator and upgrade your wiring. In this video I barely scratched the surface, ideally you would upgrade to larger factory power and ground cables. 1/0 factory upgrade to 2/0, especially the power wire that connects both batteries and feeds the starter, this would also require these additional grounds and upgrading factory grounds to 2/0.

The best one to go with is a denso large case hairpin style unit. It will do well over twice the idle output of this upgrade alternator in the video when hot, and 380+ amps continuously if/when needed. 12 large diodes in an actual finned heatsink for robust output while retaining long term reliability. Less mechanical input power to generate electrical power, runs cooler, more power and MUCH more reliable then these reworked 6g alternators that make tremendous heat, and cause rectifier and regulator failures. This upgrade will fail sooner than later likely, and when it does, I'll send Cody one of mine to test. I've built my own for both my 7.3 and 6.0, my scion TC and many others for car audio. As a previous certified Ford diesel tech, these 3g and 6g alternators have always been problematic, and it's because of its base design. Small weak 8 diode rectifiers and s wind stators that run hot, and don't make much power. When modded to make more power in a "delta configuration" they make tons more heat, sacrificing reliability. Ask how I know. That's how I got into building these for myself and others. Here's a video from my page showing what's inside, and why they work better. A small case hairpin would still run circles around this 6g large case upgrade unit. Do they work for the average user that doesn't know any better? Absolutely. When you know and experience a true upgrade, you'll understand why I took the time to write out this comment in such detail. Have a look for yourself. If you're handy, you can EASILY build one yourself. Around $350 in parts, and a few hours of build time, and your set for 10+ years of stout current that'll hold voltage no matter what you throw at it, even at idle. Not knocking the upgrade Cody! It'll do for now, when your ready for the end all when this one fails, holler and I'll send ya one! kzitem.info/news/bejne/o2ion2p7mqZ7rYIsi=jSJ05O_yDGBFb-Xj

To answer your question about the largest you can go without upgrading wires... I wouldn't go above 180A, in which a small case hairpin will still be a substantial upgrade from this ancient 6g unit. Around 130 amps at idle, and 160-180 max output. For 90+% of average vehicles that don't require tremendous output for ultra heavy electrical draws, a small case is a great upgrade. More reliable, more efficient, cleaner output, less heat, more power. There's really no downside other than purchase price and install. When it's finally failed, they are easily rebuildable and upgradable. Sorry for not answering the question in the first three paragraphs.. 😂
