I know that the current alternator/battery comnbination in my Taurus SHO cannot handle this (even though I have the Ford factor heavy duty alternator/battery). Can anyone supply me with information on after market HEAFTY duty alternators and batteries? Any suggestions as to precautions, limitations, considerations regarding this type of hook-up wouild be appreciated. For example, should I be running another battery in parallel? Should the connections be direct to the battery or battery + and metal (chasis) ground? daveb
