Yeah I would agree with most of what you said. The alternator I got is 200amp. It seems to me that I would need to upgrade the wire all the way from the alternator to the battery (highlighted in red on the picture above). I looked up an alternator wiring kit on eBay and it basically consists of a 4 gauge wire and a 250 amp fuse and it's listed as a 200+amp alternator kit. So I would have to say that instead of a fuse Isuzu decided to use a fusible link. So According to this post:

The link is rated at 26 amps. That seems incredibly low to me. I also still have the delema of trying to get under the damn fusible link holder that is freaking welded to the frame. Anyone done anything with these fusible links? I can't be the only person who has upgraded their alternator??



I'm starting to run out of time on this project before my big trip. If I am not drawing anymore power then usual with this new alternator I should be able to just leave the stock wiring in place and not have anything burn out correct? I can spend some time trying to upgrade the wiring when I have more time and I actually install some devices that need the extra load.
