    EMP Ready M1009 question

    Tim, I figured if you were on you would chime in, The 500A DC boat disconnect key is good because it cuts off all power directly from the battery, The key switch is removable and is kinda like a anti theft device as well, I call it cheap insurance. I know I am Insurance poor. If there is no...

    Will all diesel trucks run on Alt fuel and which alts

    The Multi fuel engine is made for just that Multi-Fuel, The GM 6.2 I fill up with 20 gallons of diesel fuel and add a quart of Amoco 20/50 engine oil. The only reason I add the engine oil is because it,s free and it lubricates the fuel pump. The current Diesel fuel has lost it's lubricating...

    Why is taking 12v from one batt bad?

    I have a 9000 Lbs winch and a 12VDC inverter running off the front battery, I feel the thread comments are correct about the even charge rate, but you only use the winch, what 3-4 times a month and the inverter very little and 200 watts for lights is nothing when you have a 100 Amp alternator...

    12 volt inverter to 24v modification?

    I ran 12V off the front battery, I only use it if the engine is running, Cranetruck is right about the deep cycle battery, Get a marine battery if your going to convert down from 24 to 12vdc from the deuce system to feed the Inverter. BTW, you can mount this anyway you want and it does not...

    EMP Ready M1009 question

    In my opinion, get 2-4 dry cell battery's, you may loose a battery or two. I feel the 6.2 you have is good for the purpose you have intended. I vote BATTERY'S. Also of note: save a few glow plug cards and get a 500a marine DC shut off switch. This is what I did to prepare my M1009/ M1028. Your...

    Why is taking 12v from one batt bad?

    There are converters and inverters, they have 2 separate functions. Converters are used when you have all DC equipment to raise or lower the DC current. Inverters are used when your changing from DC to AC. I installed a DC to AC INVERTER to power up to 1000 watts/ 2000 surge watts @ 30 seconds...

    thinking about doing black white and grey camo

    Ted Nugent cornered the market on the zebra camo look. I have seen Ted's Ford Bronco and most of his friends trucks are all white and only the tailgate has the black and white zebra stripes. From my perspective, in my opinion, 383 green is all anyone needs. Why stand out more than you already...

Everything he stripped off from interiors to engines to parts He was told to toss in the dumpster. My friend Tom was a pack rat and...
