i can show you pics for a 5.5 gen, i don't see how it can be that diff from a 6th gen. the 3 spots i mean. but like i said, if it's like an 02-03, you'll need to somehow get under that air duct.

the power is easy... I just wanna make sure where the negative goes on the ALT. cause we have the chasis not too far from it..

I was thinking just attach it to one of the bolts holding the ALT(bracket) and runing it to the chasis....

Yeah. It was a PITA to attach it to the bracket but I got it on there. I used 4 gauge wire.

I have the alternator - ground and battery negative - ground done. Definitely noticed a difference in the overall performance of the lights, stereo and other electrical. lights seemed brighter and there's more of a bass response from the stereo. Still need to do the other part of it. So far, so good.
