So I relocated the battery from the engine bay to a tool box on the bed. I ran three 2 awg wires one went to the frame, one went to the starter solenoid , one went from the top post of the alternator to the positive terminal on the battery. This one has a 60 amp fuse in between the alternator and the battery. This fuse popped today so I put another one in and it started to charge, then the gauge started to drop so I went to look and see if it popped again, it didn't so I ran the rpms up and this fuse exploded into a fire ball. It has never done this before I'm not sure where to start looking for an issue. I drove the truck literally 10 miles today before this happened. I have had a slow crank or crank stoppage issue for a lil bit but I figure I needed a high torque starter or 1/0 awg wires I already replaced the ground with a 1/0 awg wire but still the slow/no crank issue continues.
