never really cared about my truck only getting 12.6 volts all day as long as it starts. but i am bored and wanna fix this. so what i did was test the voltage at the battery and i got 12.7 and tested the voltage at the alternator and it was 14.0 i check the schematics and it says that i can pretty much just hook the alternator + to the battery + and gound the alternator body directly to the battery - terminal. what im gonna use a fusible link of course but do ya think i should leave the factory wires and just add to them or just use the new wiring only.

you can just add to them if the look of it doesnt bother you. electricity will take the preferred path.
