That's why I added the concept of an audio and visual alert prior to the shutdown, but I do get the concern. You would want the alarms to proceed the shutdown. Hell, you may want a shutdown override as mentioned upthread just to buy time in a high traffic situation an well. Safety before...

Easier and cheaper to just slap a flex hose on there. I mean *could* create a way to shut your engine off if the pressure fails for *any* reason. A simple dummy light/audio alarm connected to a pressure sensor and a way to kill the engine when it trips. IMO, you're more likely to have your...

Just camping on the beach. I do it a couple times a month. :)

But they aren't green nor do they have a NSN so clearly someone can't charge $60 each for those $12 switches. No, even if they are better they will never truly be "surplus" thus not better. Buy *real* surplus. Much more scarce. Totally worth the price gouging. You don't want the real...

Chicks don't drink warm beer, pal. And there's a LOT of chicks out there.... ;p

Annnnnnd Horror Freight was out of the small knockoff Pelican cases. I was looking at alternatives there when It dawned on me, I have lots of them in the supply room. A 50cal can is just wide enough to hold a pair side-by-side. An 7.26 can is the perfect width for the batteries, but not...

Still reading up in the Op and Repair manual how the unit regulates the exiting OEM pad. For one of my two heaters I will use the OEM element (it's still good).

My plan at this stage is to place the two SLA batteries in a Harbor Freight case. I'll re-purpose the box-mounted fuse holders and connector from the OEM battery. I kind of like the idea of keeping the battery box external to the heater (the damned thing is heavy enough to drag around w/o the...

The pad that was in the battery box was just slipped between the two rows of cells as in the pics above. Once I pried the batteries lose the pad didn't have much footing in the epoxy. This is the 7w element I ordered. My plan was to use one under each battery...

Tinkering with bits. Here's the specs on the heating element 14.5v 105w It's far more wattage than I would have imagined for a "battery heater". I have some 7w pads coming and they should do fine for when it sits out in a South Texas Winter (aka the month of February) but there are all...

Have you tried converting it to electric or other green energy? Because YOU VILL BE!!! /snork

That gave me a heart attack one time. Looked like gallons of oil had blown. It was about a six ounces. LOL

Me too *not mine, but yeah

Someone on here did tell me the fix was the same and I'd find it behind the PDP, but as I said I've not been in there yet.

As I said, mine "parks" at the opposite end of travel. When I got the truck, they stopped about in the middle. I got to wiggling the wipers and broke it way better so now they stop upright. ;) /shurg

Get someone who has been in there to answer that. I was told all I needed to access a fix was behind the PDP. I've fixed it on cars before and I can only guess that it's the same fix. Lots of videos of auto repair, but I've never found one for an LMTV/MTV. *see 5:30
