I got a 170 amp 1 wire (yeah right) from BroncoGraveyard and put it in. The only place I saw to hook the wire to the battery was off the very small bolt on the red plastic post. It looks too small to carry this many amp so I call JBG and asked. The person on the phone knew less than I did and asked someone else. They said that that was the only place to wire this. Well I tested for voltage once I jumped the truck and I have none coming from the alternator and the test unit is correct.

Where did I go wrong??? Is the wiring correct or should I be using one of the areas on the alternator. Is it truely 1 wire... no ground wire. Does anyone have documentation for the device, none came in my plain white box.

Hate to be a pain but BigDogs is next weekend and I have to fly away all week and only have this Saturday and Sunday day to work on this and everyones tech support is gone.

Thanks GREATLY

Doug
