I'm trying to hook up a speaker system to play the purge siren. I will sit out side the grocery stores and kick it on just before the doors open. (then I'll sneak to the front of the line while everyone is looking around)

Noted I'm going to try one that I found for heavy trucks and RVs that uses Bluetooth, next. My goal is to send the telemetry to a screen for monitoring on the fly (MPG, RPM, temp sensors, etc). I'll do all my own custom UI and displays.

One other thing I should add is that the port is of course 24v. So a standard automobile OBD2 reader will not work, but there are readers out there that will (for trucks, RVs, etc).

OK, for future reference the center pin (A) is ground. POS (B) is the 12v source....

So according to the schematics that I can find online, the Y-j1939 pins out with the center pin as 12v PWR. According to my reader and multimeter I have no power. I find nothing in the power panel that indicates it is related. All breakers are good and hot. If there a separate fuse...

Might be a tad small for the LMVT cab, but not sure. I'm thinking more along the lines of 33000 BTU cooling, but that number was tossed out by someone a couple years ago. I've no idea what the Red Dot Gen2 units produced for these cabs had in the way of BTUs (the Gen1's were somewhat...

But we can reach areas that they cannot. Which is the true perk...

I've found even working CTIS controllers can be temperamental. As a rule I step down from Highway > XC, then XC > Sand, etc. Same with airing back up (ie: Sand > XC then Highway). ymmv

Do you drain the air tanks each night? Because if not, the tanks should be full every morning unless there are leaks.

^This is what I've always read. Don't cap the front or it can't vent (and thus lock up the brakes). There is a way to do it, but it involves dome tinkering and re-routing.

"People hate the military or any associated vehicles " Yeah, in CA. But I can't fathom why anyone but the problem would want to live there these days. Just sayin'

I'd actually suggest staying on the beaten trail. Major Interstates are going to offer far more solutions to any issues that arise. I get what you're saying, but chances of getting assistance are better on a major trafficked highway. And that's an A1R truck. Those seats are actually quite...

Ouch

They are to allow for the workbenches (which were heavy enough to easily have cu the aluminum flooring. Same with the ones added to the wall. Basically for reinforcement and wall/floor protection). It's respectable weight loss. Now "can" it be structural? Yes and no. What will be added to...

Yes, but he has no side curtains. Once you go above 3" you start to lose the overlap of the sidegates and the cover's side curtains.

Look closely and you can see his extensions. Keep in mind, at that height your side curtains won't touch the sidegates/tailgate. Note that his cover is merely a bikini top with no sides.

RV parks are for the elderly. I camp off road or in the parking lot of strip clubs. Because, reasons...

Beauty of a truck ! Yeah, keep a close on on those "may pop" XML's. They are *do* pops. I think 2007 was the last year they used them. In any event, look closely for *any* bulge that appears between the big "knob" and the rim. That's the indicator to watch for. And make certain that they...

OK, the stock height at center point is 5'8" So if you add the 3" collars you get to 5'11"
