    Preventing issues with balance beads maybe?

    in post linked below and a few post after; two of our "super users" you could say brought up adding some filters into CTIS for generic reasons. This sparked a thought on doing that for stopping concerns about using balance beads with CTIS... Didn't want to Hijack the thread that filter was...

    Vertical Solar Panels

    if your debating pulling a Toad rig flat or on trailer, such as a grocery getter, go deeper into Tundra rig or to go get yourself some aid with a stuck/flop... etc.. consider it more cause you can put panels on that too with ability to position it in the sun. Likely save more fuel using that...

    AGM and LiFePO4?

    go to a 120amp? or higher? 24v commercial truck alt and a 24v to 12v converter tagged in to run your 12v systems. There is a couple threads in here on this. Then you can go back to your previous plan and run a DC to DC lithium charger though you might consider doing your house bank at...

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    Mighty kind of you..... but it's a 200amp alt that appears to have the bad regulator and not the 100

    AGM and LiFePO4?

    Not worth it... add more solar panels and a small generator and drop to two 12v batts for engine. Maybe upgrade OEM alternator for a hummer 200A or ??? lots of threads in here on alternator woes, upgrading etc.

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    my right Achilles is telling me to stop tumbling. Ive given up on the alternator issue right now... I got to get to work and back and that exhaust me as it is.... so I just charge batts at home and then often again once I get to work.

    M1078 100amp alternator charging issue

    no,- reviewed the thread since it came back up.... sparked a hope that mayyyyyyyyybe by remote chance my charging failure is not a bad regulator after all. Hence the question PS- .. tis actually considered good Netiquette TO NOT start new threads but instead ask in existing threads on the...

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    side note.... cause of pacbrake not partnering as nice with the programming in the Wtech II on FMTV's.... one thought have had was to move the whole shifter/keypad to an armrest built onto the dog house .... kinda create a Star Trek Captains chair (just aged myself) with the shift pad right in...

    LMTV FMTV Exhaust Brake Questions?

    So our 3116 is Full Marmon ? which PRBX model did you get? Understanding I got from PacBrake tech was that the PRBX workings is most about the balance dance between spring, orifice size and check valve matching the engine's exhaust pressures... Then of course the way it mounts and exhaust...
