    try a rca with a drain wire. you can make these your self. you want to have a 3 conductor wire 20 gauge, and you take the neg and drain wire and connect them together on 1 side of the rca. usually the source side, and the other wire is positive obviously. then run to back to amp, but on that side, you do not use the drain wire, you would want to cut that off so it wont be able to make contact with the ground conductor on the rca. the drain wire is uninsulated so its easy to identify. or if you have a 4 conductor wire, just leave 1 out unhooked.

    So whats the purpose of the "drain" wire if you connect it to the ground on the source end, but connect it to nothing on the other end?

    I don't think mileage will go down a measurable amount, but I have not measured.

    Cost will be determined shortly on the alternator, the idler kit will be $199 for the idlers, bracket and hardware, you supply the belt. I highly recommend it to kill belt slip! My car doesn't make the slightest chirp since installing this idler kit.

    Ive been thinking about it alot. When during dry weather I have no belt slip, but everytime it rains I have a good bit, Im not running stock alt though. I have an autozone 175amp peak and after I added the diodes inline with the "sensing" wire my voltage output has increased nicely, but I can tell the alts working hard and my mileage suffered. When I start rebuilding the system in this car, I will definately be investing in some mechman products for the simple fact I know for a fact they will work great on a crown vic.

    FWIW, Im 19 with a 16 month old daughter, and now that shes here I cant imagine not having her, but i will tell you that it will make EVERYTHING MUCH MUCH MUCH HARDER (i cant emphasize this enough). If i were you Id consider all options still at this point and remember that whatever decision you make will affect you for the rest of your life.

    what was going through ur mins when ur girl told u she was pregnate??

    I freaked out at first then started hustling to have money for the baby cause my current job at the time was only part time, It was going well till I got arrested selling things, but that was a stupid mistake thats in the past now.

    But its all good now and I have a beautiful baby girl thats the light of my life and realize how stupid I was for trying to do illegal things to get money, Im in school now getting an associates degree in Electrical engineering, so that I can have a good job to provide for her.

    I have a UFO style 18" BTL in the trunk of my vic, and I want to order the 12" Fi sticker, but I need to know if the adhesive is on the front side of the sticker or the back, because I have dark tint and want to put it on the outside of the window so it shows up well.

    So is the adhesive on the sticker face or will I be able to place it on the outside of my car?

    Sorry to bump this old thread, but im finally getting around to trying this. I have the diodes and all the necessary things to do this, but idk which wire to look for, I know its supposed to be the "sensing" wire. I only have 2 wires coming from the pigtail of my alt one yellow and one green.

    This is the exact alt I have: http://www.autozone.com/autozone/parts/Commercial-Alternator/2000-Ford-Crown-Victoria/_/N-je6hqZ93xme?counter=4&filterByKeyWord=alternator&fromString=search&itemIdentifier=904656_193128_10843_
