    smoking batteries

    I didn't notice. On the way out there it was fine, on the way back it was about 2 am and I didn't check where that gauge was sitting at. Will it run high at idle too or only high under load?

    smoking batteries

    What are the volt levels I should see under normal operating limits? Should I test each battery individually or will that skew the test since they are in series?

    smoking batteries

    So I took my truck out last night, nothing crazy, got home and noticed a significant amount of heat and steam coming from the batteries when i lifted the seat. Its only 30 miles to were we went, mostly freeway, and it was fine when we got there. Two of the batteries were steaming through the...

    923a2 wiring voltage question

    The lights would be 35 watts and about 4.5 amps approx. So that would be 35=4.5•x, making the resistance about 7.8. If I ran 14 gage wire would that still be sufficient?

    923a2 wiring voltage question

    I was going to do hid lights. The ones on the truck now might as well be broken they are so dim! I don't need the high and low, just the low. I am talking with the manager, if he's willing to try it and see how his product performs, could be interesting!

    923a2 wiring voltage question

    Did the lights burn out after the full life cycle or was the voltage too much? If they have a normal life I wouldn't mind, I can yes both components really easy

    923a2 wiring voltage question

    I found a company that wants to do some work with me on lighting but it's all 12 volt stuff. I read that it's possible to hook the ground on the first light to the positive on the second and make the 12 work on 24. What's the down side to that? I have been trying to find in line transformers but...

    Does this truck have an obd1 or 2??

    I have an m923a2 and was curious if it has an obd2. The engine looks new, my buddy says it was swapped in 2010. Does that mean the 8.3L cummins has the new sensors? If not, what kind of on board comp is it using? Thanks.

    923a2 multi fuel?

    My buddy recently told me this vehicle can run on anything. Meaning diesel, biodiesel, gas, e85, etc. How much of that is true? I don't think I'd ever try the gas in a diesel, sounds a little too far fetched for me. What exactly can I run it on? I've seen people post SVO, ATF, WVO, and also...
