Re: OBS Dual Battery Big 3 Upgrade.

Overall look of the truck motor



Yellow top on the the drivers side (IE battery number 2)


Red Top on the passenger side (IE primary battery)


Battery Isolator
Left Terminal - Charge wire to number 1 battery, voltage sense wire, and excitation wire.

Top Terminal - Excitation wire

Bottom Terminal - Alternator (only thing I didn't upgrade)

Right terminal - Secondary Battery

You'll need to look under the hood of a Vortec truck as they use a different charcoal canister and have a battery tray where the TBI can sits.

Re: OBS Dual Battery Big 3 Upgrade.

I have a dual battery tray for a 92. I'll pull it out this weekend and get the part# for you guys. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with my canister too.
