5.3 alternator on LS1
Hey guys, I saw that huge thread about fixing alternator problems with the 5.3 145 amp alternators, and had a couple questions I need to know quick to get it on. I have an alternator off of my sisters wrecked '04 Tahoe, and I've looked over it a little and it looks like it will go in pretty easy. My car has a turbo, and the alternator has been relocated to the top of the motor on the passenger side, making it easy to get to. It currently has a 4 pin connector with a single red wire coming out of the back, will this work? I know the plug will fit, but will the larger alternator be too much for the single red wire? Also, should I run another wire from the post on the back of the alternator directly to the positive battery terminal? Car is a 2000 Camaro SS btw. Thanks, Logan.
