The problem with taking the shunt out is twofold, (a) the printed circuit on the cluster will not take the current output of the 3G even a 95 amp, it is designed to handle a very small differential between the alternator/battery and the load. (b) the ammeter is also only designed to handle the small differential and without the shunt it will be a moot point what burns up first, the wires to the dash, the plug(s) on the cluster, the printed circuit or the ammeter itself.

Gary, look at your Chrysler electrical, they used a real ammeter, but due to the way it is hooked up it has some interesting behavior. It is great if you understand it shows not into or out of the battery but alternator output.
