If you upgrade above 65 amps, you'll need to remove the ammeter and the 
factory 10 gauge wire in-dash charging circuit, from the charging circuit.

Create a more robust charging path from alternator to battery, which 
doesn't run thru the in-dash wiring harness.

Replace the ammeter with a volt meter.
