I didn't until you asked. Only took a couple minutes to set up. Don't have the rainfly on, it really does need a couple guy wires if it's going to rain, but should be able to just run them over the fenders with a bungie or a hook to the wheel well. The length is right at the max, it could...

A couple months ago I used a small, 2 man tent in the bed of my 2 man truck no problems. Used a small sleeping pad, and a roll up mattress for a cot. Entrance for the tent was on the side, not the end, but as long as the tent has it's own frame and doesn't require guy wires to hold it up at...

Could do like for the reverse lights circuit, pull from the hot side of the horn. Power will be on anytime the lights are on for running or headlights. Means no reverse camera if you don't turn on the lights or have it in blackout mode, though unless it's a night vision camera I don't see how...

Yeah, to move the tire out just a little. Sometimes they rub a little bit on the parking brake cable is my understanding, this just moves them out a little bit. I just paid like $17 for a pair of 1/2 inch spacer plates on Amazon. Looking at the studs that's probably the absolute thickest...

Actually, what I was talking about is the sheet metal of the 802/803 is mostly aluminum, so putting rivnuts into the aluminum sheet metal will cause you issues later on, not the difference between the bolts and the rivnuts. You can get away with stainless bolts and aluminum rivnuts because of...

Stainless steel and aluminum do NOT play nicely together. Causes a galvanic reaction, where one metal causes the other to corrode at a fast rate. Antiseize forms a barrier between the two parts to help slow/minimize the corrosion, and allow the parts to be separated again, but it's still not a...

unless of course he means the unimog is like a mercedes (or that it IS a mercedes) and comparing it to something with a GM drivetrain...

Unless he has a 12V pulsetech unit and only did one of the batteries, I'd agree that it's not right and would explain the light not working.

I washed my newest trailer. It was one of the HDT Drash trailers with a 35kw gen and 8 ton ECU on it. Guy I bought it from sold the gen separately, and took off the ECU as I don't have anything big enough to run it, and didn't want to spend the extra money to buy it. I'm probably going to...

No worries. I just know for something this size/weight/importance I'd rather have massive overkill (provided it's still easy to move around) rather than the bare minimum.

both terminals of the charger hooked up to one battery? How does that work then? I can understand one to positive on the first battery (hooked to starter solenoid) and one to a chassis ground, but if both cables are connected to a single battery then I'm very confused as to what it's actually...

Mine is doing the same thing, sits at or barely above the zero mark when the engine is hot and idling. I don't know if it's normal or not, but I'll see if it still does it after I change the oil (truck only has 400 miles on it at this point, so hoping it's either normal, or just an issue with...

Vibrations would be pretty bad for that cart. While it can handle the weight, that's a lot of vibration. The ones like that I've seen also tend to start rusting apart pretty quickly, so I wouldn't trust the 1400 lb rating other than the first year or so. Since it's going to be stored inside...

When I was in Yermo picking up my truck they were loading 2 flatbed semis full of those trailers, at least 8, maybe more.

did you check the tire pressures? My experience with hot tires is usually due to flexing from underinflation. The trailer is kind of heavy to begin with, even empty. Might be heat generated by too tight of hub bearings or dragging brakes, but rubber doesn't transfer heat that well so I'd vote...

Check the exhaust outlet, if it looks oily at all you're going to need to do a heavy loaded run to clear out the wet stacking, usually 80% or more load works best if you can load it that far without it bogging down. If it bogs down, load it as far as you can to slight bogging, when it picks up...

Looking at the internet and other threads on SS... Deuce engine is about 1300-1400 lbs depending on what all is attached, if missing starter and other parts might be less. Transmission is in the 250 lbs range. So the 2 engines and 2 transmissions together are only going to be around 3200 lbs...

did you flip the AC Circuit Interrupter up to the "closed" position? If so, is the little light on above it? If you don't close that connection, then there is no power at the lugs.

Hi, welcome to this site Glad to see you took my advice on getting a military generator for your prime power for now until things get back to normal over there. I seriously doubt that you'll end up disappointed with it. (I'm that guy with a similar name to this one over on that other site :)...
