I would add a fuse for safety in case of a front end collision. It's true that an accident that severe may total out the vehicle, but why risk a fire and a blame game from an insurance company that could affect the total payout?
With the fire (not disagreeing, i'm interested), how could a fuse between the alternator wire and the battery stop a potential hazard?
Also, Chevy does not fuse the OEM wire, so how could you foresee an issue?
Again, i am interested, not disagreeing
