checked all the alternator connections and non of them were loose, i even pulled them and wiped them off to make sure there wasnt anything hindering contect since i had used brake cleaner on that entire side of the motor cleaning off old oil and debris

i did the same with the starter, pulled the connections and made sure that they were getting good contact and that they were tight, both battery wires are tight as well as all the ground wires. Although i am wondering if for some odd reason the starter just decided to go bad at that moment and time, and thats whats popping the fuses when i try to start it.

yeah im going to get some more fuses today and i may get a 200amp fuse to try it and see if it works. only problem i have with that is the 100amp i had before worked perfectly fine up until now.
