I run chamber style on my truck. Some people have been surprised it's a diesel because it sounds more like a big block. No drone from the exhaust, more from the intake. But on the highway in 5th it's pretty quiet. YMMV :driver:

I'd like some information on these...

While I was camping a while back a friend Phil @down2mob did a walk around of my M1010.

I believe we've all used this alternator in this thread: Leece Neville (110-555JHO) 12v 160A 1 wire self exciting alternator. And here is a diagram for wiring:

Took a little trip last week logging about 350 miles. My first stop at @abcbrewco in Mechanicsburg, PA on my way to @overlandfestival . Appropriately the gps took me over back roads to event. Parked in a large field and ready to relax! Already meet some great people. A great event put on by...
