I'm no alternator/regulator whiz, but yes, I think running the alternator open would result in overly high voltage output. I also think that it could be a good way to cook said alternator.

I haven't mounted mine yet so I can't guarantee that it'll be a perfect fit/size, but noticed that Titan Distributors has a 10% off deal going (and a 5% off for first time customers, if the offers can be combined) so anyone looking to get a thumb for their SEE may want to check out the "32"...

Wide whites, General, wide whites. And maybe a lowering kit.

Hey, I like all the things that can be accomplished with my SEE. And at least I'm not stuck with an M819. I imagine that owning one of those could put a damper on anyone's outlook on life. Then again, I wouldn't mind having one nearby when I get a SEE stuck.

So you had nothing to do with me smacking myself hard with a tire iron (very close to my eye) this afternoon? One down, three to go. In retrospect, I should've sandblasted these wheels. Not sure if they were found on the Titanic, or filled from a saltwater pond by the military. Either way...

Alright, Ron, you win. The retaliation was swift and efficient. Within minutes of posting the above, the power went out. Remind me not to rag on you again.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd be more inclined to try to help someone with vehicular issues if they didn't constantly badmouth the very vehicle I bought voluntarily (as, I'm guessing, did most of the FLU owners here on SS). Yes, being imperfect, like any other vehicle, a FLU can definitely...

Not saying that it'll work on a SEE, but I've had good luck on other vehicles with simply filling the master and then let it sit for a few days. Self bleeding at its finest...if time allows.

SEE sickness can be a good thing. No water involved.

These days that may be a legal requirement. Especially if one of the boys decided to identify him/itself as a woman. Except if it actually is a woman, in which case she probably can't be refused entry to the the boys' group. Or something like that - I can't keep up with all the new rules.

That makes two of us. I've found the FLUs to be very useful machines, although with their quirks. But then, if I wanted a regular boring life I'd probably be driving a Prius and watch TV a lot...and be dead because of boredom by now. Welcome.

Wimp.

Yeah, that's it. I couldn't remember after getting it mixed up with my own acronym; NITWIT.

I believe it is, Ahab. These past two weeks I've been studying the air schematics quite a bit. There's a lot of interesting stuff to learn. Too bad I'm forgetting it nearly as fast as I'm soaking it in. And that may include the proper name of the 4WD switch.

Not to defend the FLU wiring system, but I think my outlook on whatever repairs, modifications, maintenance etc. I'm doing on a FLU would be different if I didn't do it for fun. If someone paid me to perform those tasks I probably wouldn't mind the complexity and lack of access nearly as much.

Alright, not sure what you'd like me to tell, but in my case the air leak was at a hose by the right front wheel. Your results may vary. The great thing with compressed air leaks is that they're so easy to find. Whether I find a suitable replacement hose or simply plug the hose that's there...

Wet? Not if equipped with a functional and stylish moisture repelling shield. It's affordable, too.

Alright, today the computer cooperated so here are photos of the 4L80E/Atlas and the built 6.5.

Another alternative, which gives you a lower Low range (in this case 3.8:1) and twin sticks, is to use an Atlas transfer case. I put this 4L80E and Atlas 'case together a while back for a project that never happened, so it's for sale. And if I sell that setup, then I might as well sell the...

Yeah, it would've been quicker to use something else, but the HMMH has been sitting for a long time, largely because the 5-plus feet of snow (so far) this month has kept the SEE busy. Despite the hibernation and cold morning, it fired right up. Besides, it was appropriate to use a FLU to get the...
