I posted this question further down in the page to Sherman and I guess he missed it so re-posting to some of you electrical guys. Because a 12 volt 100 amp alternator (internal regulator) puts out only half the amps of a 6 volt system could you run the 12 volt alternator on the ffpw 6 volt 50 amp gauge without burning up the gauge? Keeping in mind that what is registering on the gauge is X2 (50 amp 6 volt gauge could handle a 12V 100 amp alternator). The truck electrical system (gauges, starter etc) is all 12V. Thanks for any help.
