    for future reference.. why image sideways?? Devices take pics only in one orientation.... device (phone, tablet etc.) saves image via whatever standard / type your settings are. (jpeg, png, what quality etc.. etc. ) - BUTT!! it tags a small code file to it . That code tells "devices"...

    I might be a little crazy – 4,000 mile M1079 recovery Illinois to Alaska

    thank @Ronmar & @GeneralDisorder . Glad got that clarified... thought had read it in here somewhere you could .... hadn't done it,.... nor planned too... but had it stuffed in my head as a possible work around if ever needed. Will now erase that file out of my grey matter hard drive.

    just to clarify... am I right thinking; you can put 12v relay in 24v socket, if you get as close to doubling the specs of the 12v one as you can ?

    LMTV Passenger Seats

    Facebook marketplace and craigslist. As well as Facebook groups, Ambulance discussion boards etc.... looked for a year though. Agree it is a lot of work if you go into it with plans of gutting it down to bare walls and starting over... No way would do that. Why remove shelves and storage...

    yep that is pretty much what we did beyond all new wires (which was to be next)... nothing changed so far. Cleaned every place cleanable yet drop is still observed from batts to PDP. Cleaned and wiggled everything ..... no changes. added ground... no changes I canceled my last ever...

    we bypassed the batteries to take them out of the equation by using a jump pack for all testing.

    yes if I recall right. we saw it everywhere from just after battery all the way forward. Hence why bypassed the PPD. Tag Polarity Protection

    lack of height issues is a fallacy many fall for. Loww height is only in first one or two of the three Classes of Ambo's if I recall right. Not that hard to work around if one wanted too though.. (rolling stools/chair) . Have a nice awning room and outdoor cook setup to go under it...

    @Suprman @Ronmar @GeneralDisorder added-ish a ground to chassis as a test (ground vice gripped to cleaned spot on chasssis) no go... still clunks.

    same as you describe above. Yesterday, we combined all the lines at the polarity box using the box's studs to combine them. at first that made a change... 20 mins later.. it all returned back to clunk

    If I understand you right.. jumping the aux. starter will start it...... but I may still not have other well functioning stuff like transmission electronics turn signals, brake lights etc. ?

    Strange starter behavour

    so far PPD was bypassed by using the lugs on the PPD to bolt the lower 2 and its partner red one above it together onto one lug. Same for the upper 2 and its partner red. It started after that.... about 20 min later.... it went back to .... No change... still just clunk. we chased voltage...

    will do. I know where the shunt is your speaking of. For the ground just pull it off Negatve of the 24v ground of the combined two battery. or any of the negatives between the pair? (im just running two batts)
