hey guys, i have a sy and i have a voltage problem with my truck. my windows and power locks are slow at functioning. my volt meter even jumps with just the flasher on. i have my battery relocated to the bed. could i have a weak ground to the cab? another thing i dont like is that it cranks slow trying to start. is this normal with the battery relocation kit?

no, not really. i'd check different power sources for a drop. at the battery, back of the ALT, the power distro on the firewall, and also at the cable where you connected the new one.

good thing to do, would be wirebrush the frame where the new ground is, and make sure you ran a good size power cable back to the bed.

welding cable is a good cheap thick wire, if not i'd do 4 gauge or larger.
