Howeve what size fuse should I be using. Item # 2 because of my exceptional abilities, I only had to go to 5 parts stores 1 marine supply store, 1 dealership, 1 radio shack and a couple of other stores for the few simple items needed to hook-up . Do yourself a favor buy the kit from Madd Electric! I didn't and am still paying more than just dollars and cents. $28.00 is a deal.
Jack Thanx for any info you can give...

I agree, the Kit from Madd Electric is not only a good deal, but it's the best way to power everything up (see my diagram above) ... by installing the terminal blocks and powering things from there, your truck gets better voltage and better performance all around!

Whoever put in the updated fuse panel did a screwee job its hard to tell where the main input is. I'll give it a closer look though. Finally found the right size belt and fired her up. Looks great but showing discharge on the amp meter- especially w/the lights on. Oh well tomorrow's another day. I did hook-up just like the diagram used s10 terminal blocks from the junk yard. See Ya, Jack

You should be able to see a feed at the back, or on the side, of the fuse box that feeds all fuses.

I kind of knew that from reading other posts but ran out of time. So after some more readn' I hopefully will get it right. This is by far the most infomative place to go for any and all questions regarding the old bolts. thanks again
