Since the positive runs from the alt. to the battery, you WILL NOT need a fuse. The entire vehicle electrical runs from the battery, to the fuse box, then out into the rest of the harness. If your alternator somehow manages to overpower your system, the fusible link BETWEEN THE BATTERY AND FUSE BOX will save your truck. That is why, when you read step one, it says: DO NOT replace wires, only add new ones. Your battery loses more power when your engine starts then if your alternator were to spike momentarily. It usually takes 15 minutes to recharge, minimum. Nothing in any vehicle should run straight off of the alternator, except the battery.
