    12v supply on 24v house battery setup.

    Had an idea the other day…. I am planning on building my own 24v battery banks out of individual lithium 300ah cells. I originally planned to have a 24-12v converter to supply my 12v accessories. But, my lift bed will use a 12v utility winch. That can pull a lot more amps. I am wondering...

    From fire truck to MTV

    You can see where I welded the connector mount back on. I did this to also give a little protection to the ABS module.

    I did the same thing, but reused the ABS mount (cut it down and treeless it) to hold the access port connector. Picture in next post. Looks good so far. What manual pump are you using? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Rear and Side Mounted Cameras

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    I have illusions on how secure these trucks are. I just want a way to keep honest people honest. I really don’t care if the locks match. I just want a key and a way to lock both doors. Preferably two working locks on case one is frozen or damaged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    From fire truck to MTV

    So, the bump stop travel of 7.5” only applies if both sides of the axle travel the same 7.5”. The tires are outside of the bump stops….. If one tire droops to its full extent and the other side is against the bump stop, you now have a lever pushing the high tire further than the bump stop. The...

    Lmtv a1r door lock key?

    So, I was wondering if I could order two matching sets of these: https://www.austinhardware.com/lock-cyl-k104-w-tm202.html Then swap them in myself. Is that the correct part? Anyone know? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Custom winch wiring.

    at P913, I had disconnected pins 7, 8, and 15. So I am thinking I need to run a wire from 15 to the PDP P309 then cut the wires and splice my new wire to both pins 1 and 2. That should hot wire my PTO to my switches. half of me is thinking of just reinserting those pins and leaving it stock...

    Gen2 always blows hot

    Anyone have a Gen2 that is not installed that they could take a few pictures of the back of the actuator for heat? It should be the one that is on the heater lines (others are for dampers). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Power not really off….. strange

    The truck started up just fine once I reset the switch to on. I have not seen any sign of a failure since then. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Power not really off….. strange

    Just to be clear, the the battery disconnect I used is a manual rotating switch. Mine is a 1999, rebuilt in 2008. If that helps with the timeline. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    That is funny, my A1 does not have an electronic disconnect (by the NATO plug). Or are we talking about something else? I have a manual switch I added I added. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
