Been dealing with this problem for over a year now. Started pre-electrical system mods. Battery was not charging, and then my red acc+ box started melting. THen my fusible link finally melted through. I replaced it, and the battery. Seems like the problem went away for awhile, and then came back. My new Optima red top wouldn't hold a charge.
I replaced the alternator w/ a 145 amp (which would rule out the voltage regulator), and added the painless dual battery mod complete with Optima 2 yellow tops. Didn't solve the problem, the nut in the acc+ box actually melted itself loose from the plastic. After the fusible link failed again, I upped the ante and replaced it with 4 guage, fused, and run straight to the battery. Seemed to do the trick for a bit... but now I notice the once red 4 guage is now turing black at the edges and the fuse holder is getting too hot to touch when the truck is run for a couple minutes.
Cliff (I Change) and I spent a couple hours this weekend burning brain cells, but we couldn't determine the cause.
Anyone have any ideas? I need to get this problem solved before nationals... guess I'll have to take it in to the dealer before too long.
Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom.
