relocation wiring for the second time

[Flyin Ryan]

I need to know in what order you would wire up your relocated battery..
I can't remember how I had it setup before I unhooked it all but im thinking it went -

positive lead from battery in bed ---> starter ---> alternator ---> junction block on firewall

Is that correct?

I remember the negatives since there simple but having a brain fart on the positive side

Thanks

Ran 2 gauge from battery in back to a junction up front. Ran 8 gauge from alternator back to battery to charge it. Welded stud to frame in back for ground lead. Stud to frame in front for ground lead. Works PERFECT. 140 amp alternator and fans pull your shirt toward the radiator when you stand in front of the truck now. Very impressive.
3 leads off back of alternator. One to battery, one to junction on firewall. Trying to remember where the third went. The feed for the CAC pump is run off the back of the alternator as well.
