HELP!:

New alternator black chrome – 16 volt upgrade (need help)
- HAS anyone bypassed the regulator in the ECM and used an EXTERNAL
regulator - so I can install an Adjustable regulator to charge my 16 Volt
battery.
(The my battery has a 12v and 16v terminal.

The oem neg cab has three wires, one small one to frame, and two other very small body grounds.
Im going to ground my 16v battery with a large ground to frame, and to medium grounds to the body / engine.

The oem POS cable has two wires, one to the fuse box / power supply, and one larger one going across to starter terminal.
Im planning to run a Larger YELLOW fine strand cable to the starter from the 16 volt battery terminal.
Im planning to run a MED RED fine strand cable to the power supply from the 12 volt terminal on the battery.
(once I confirm the ECM & injection system can handle the 16v+ - Id like to convert the whole truck over.)
All of the electric motors, etc will handle it, just need to worry about other things……. first

I know the starter will be faster, and last longer…… I know if I can run the ignition on 16v I’ll get more power and performance….

SO, any ideas on getting an alternator mounted on this truck, to charge the 16v AGM battery ?????
Approx 19.25v max is idea. Im thinking 110 – 130a will be enough, even with amps, and added lighting.

Current load will be OEM, but will add a stereo amp on the 16 volt side in the future.

Maybe instructions to wire in a 911-02r?
Im ok if the battery light comes on and stays on….)

also, need instructions to wire the healights so that both high and low beams work on HIGH; I know this involved installing a diode (which one) in the wiring to the bulbs?

Also, wire Fog lamps so they work on HIGH and LOW beam...
