98 v6 battery power

[Gil'sCG6]

so im on my 3rd 6th gen (two 98's and one 99) this is my first v6 and i love it but one thing i have noticed with all of my 6th gen's ive had is that the electrical power real sucks. When i put my windows up or down my headlights and all the lights in the car dim and at night its sooo noticeable. Ive always wondered if there is a way to help this situation, my battery and alternator are fine but just curious.

yea who knows i mean i know its not a problem but it just feels/looks like all of the car's energy is being sucked out while simply putting my window down.

Our alternator can only put out so much power. Upgrading your grounding kit to a 0/1 gauge wire will help, but not as much as you would expect. It's worth an upgrade thpugh if you have spare time.

yea i think im gonna do the big 3, that should make some kind of a difference

The big 3 should help. I only did the big 2, it helped somewhat, and it took only 10 minutes to do.

This.

You may want to also upgrade the battery as well.

^Yeah. Give this a read:

I never could determine whether the plug was long enough to fit or not, seems like experiences varied among people. Also, not sure if they fuse needs upgraded as well, but I'd do that anyway since it's cheap and easy.
