Hey fellow mopar lovers
I’m in the process of upgrading to power master 165 A one wire , I’m looking to take load off the ammeter which I think I’m going to have to bypass and I also know I have to do the bulkhead bypass , I’m also doing the “ big 3” upgrade under the hood using 2 gauge cable . I’m also putting a 200 amp manual reset fuse / circuit breaker on the power cable from alt to bat
Any input or advise plz

Ps
The reasons for this is due to a lot of goodies I have going on that my current 60 amp alt can’t handle and I’m sorry if it’s a repeat thread but I’m looking to get fresh eyes and advice
 
I am not sure that a 1 wires is really an "upgrade" but you do you. You are on the right track overall, my advice is

1. google the bypass, its outlined in depth on pretty much every Mopar forum.

2. pre-pan all routing and use quality wire

3. take car in terminating your wires making sure to get a solid connection. I like to crimp and solder but many like to just crimp. Regardless use quality crimping tools

4. test everything as you go
 
If you source your accessories off the alternator, you won’t be adding any load to your amp meter. Even with an alternator capable of 165a your battery will only draw a limited amount of amps.
