alternator wire size?
I bought a aftermarket alternator rated at 130 Amps to replace the factory alternator which could not keep up since I changed to electric fans. the factory alternator is rated at 95 amps.
the truck is a 1995 F150 xlt 4x4 5.0 auto trans. what is the factory charging wire size?
the aftermarket company recommends 4 AWG. Don't have a clue about wire size.

Installed powermaster alternator today and added a 2 guage wire with a fuse,from back of alternator to fuse to battery terminal , works great , can run a/c, electric fan , headlights etc, and vottage stays in range , before if idling truck would turn off, and alt gauge would go to the low side. now stays inbetween the r and the m of normal.
