Ammeter - simon999 - 11-21-2016
I was thinking to install old style -60 0 +60 ammeter gauge like in the old trucks. It is useful to see when your batteries starting getting bad. It suppose to be connected between alternator positive and starter. Does anybody have these on the newer trucks and what is correct wiring? Wire thickness?

Most alternators have more than 100 amps on trucks nowadays. You would need one that could take the amperage your alternator can dish out max.
