with truck off..... unscrew the cannon plug's ring and pull / leave it off. Your good to go.
PS- you should do this prior to jump starting the truck as well. There is enough empirical evidence to show this can brick the CTIS controller. After truck is running good enough to turn off and you...
Temporary 12 or 24v elec. fuel pump right at the tank (or tempory tank) really makes priming... or overcoming air leaks so you can drive it..... lot easier.
like the rotate idea
below is ideas for parts on building your own solargizer for 1/3 to 1/2 cost of the military ones. (Charge, maintain, desulfate) Some of the links might not be good anymore cause did this few years ago.. but the list items will help someone garner ideas...
dayum.... I forgot all about our PM. My brain has been in lala land. my daily drivers both being down has put a hard slap in the face with only part time work right now.
the seller has them advertised many places. He is in CA. Ships on a pallet. Yes it is good price. Wish I could afford it. Shipping to OH is killer. Again will consider sharing shipping if someone is shipping a pallet this way. He told me he can put up to 5 sets on one pallet. Also just...
That is a good idea. My hand held should do this. maybe I can run wires thru window back to it while driving .. otherwise... spare is off right now so will check when idling after work sat.
hour ago.
when first started truck....
> Dash at approx. 24-25v.
> At batts with hand volt meter..... 25.3v at 24v pos lug and and 24v neg lug across the whole bank of four batts.
> 12v bank at 12.7v
> Same result at 24v post batt lug to chassis ground.
after about 15? min with truck running...
pre charging never did any change to dash in the month have been doing this so could get to and fro work. It just showed what was assuming to be just battery voltage (24v) after charging them with wall charger and lower by time got home (22v). Which hand held volt meter supported the next...
Yesturday. and day before did NOT use 110v charger prior to heading out to work. The 12v pair as well as individually showed 12.7v. The 24v as a pair showed 12.8.. Same individually. Not drivng anywhere yet today but am doing desulfate thing again. Prior to doing that.... it had same volt...
using an alt that is 200amp dual volt. Batteries when charged with 110v charger always returns each one back to what charger programing calls 100%. After rest and measured by volt meter that is 12.8v.
Presently I cant get to alt terminals.
What points on Rev. Polarity box are 14v and...
for future reference the intent of the spread sheet is actually what you sorta hit on.... items that civilians have actually used to replace OEM military. Most in the sheet now is taken directly from post in here about an item a member has used with some success. Tries as well to be "over...
pulled my post out of another thread so not to hijack the one on two batteries.
some background..... Thought my alternator was going/went out... but I was stuck ... I HAVE to drive truck everyday right now to get to work and weather/health is forcing me to not be able to lift and get under cab...
they might have put 6.3 in the MTV and not the 5.9.... anyway though.... yes the 5.9 can be tuned up to similar specs as the C7..... but that tune would sacrifice the engine life and mpg a lot to get there. If can use less tuning needed to reach similar C7 specs. then your not pushing the...
how close to windshield do you think a smaller AC would need to be to get that same de-humidifying the air... to have an effect on keeping windshield fog down?
Agree..... the pulse system in reality works best IMHO in associaton with maintaining 100% charge..... by increasing odds a smidge more that max amount of sulfur is kept from adhereing to the plates; but that is even debated. For a few extra bucks.. with a build your own system worth the try...
matters what your truck.... if the truck had a C7... then a swap to a computer engine is best to match better coordination with computer transmission. If your truck is older with mechanical engine ..... then a mechanical transplant would be best.
The older FMTV and MTV on the short lived...
you can make two or three of those yourself for the price they sell the solargizer system if your so inclined. Solargizer is nice unit for sure though.
