Default Alternator Wire - What gauge?
Well, it seems my shotty wiring from 4 years ago came back and bit me. The main power wire from the alternator is cooked through in one spot so it's replacement time. Anyone know what gauge it is?

10 gauge at the alternator into a six inch long 12 gauge fusible link near the jumpstart junction terminal. I just went through this last week. :)

Thanks Scorp.

A quick trip to You-Do-It-Electronics should take care of the situation.
Luckily I have friday off.
