    Largest alternator for 8.3 that's a direct swap?

    Seems like there are 2 prevalent models. A 75A and 140A. Anything higher than that?

    M923A2 fumoto oil drain plug

    Just as an update to this thread..... There's a larger body version available from another manufacturer for big trucks (ours) that greatly increases drain speed. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0776366W4

    Questions about house batteries - M1083A0 with a 17ft Winnebago on the back

    The only restriction with LiFePo is you can't charge them below freezing. They normally generate some heat in use so they tend to self-regulate. Worse case is they make battery heaters specifically for that purpose.

    No need to keep water out. It's actually better protected than most horns, since most horns are mounted on a roof or fender, with no cover.

    The WeenieWagun v3

    No more exposed than any other airhorn mounted on a roof or a fender. This is actually mostly covered, so, theoretically, more protected from the elements. .... as far as effectiveness, an exposed horn will be orders of magnitude louder than mounting one under the hood. Just moving the stock...

    Good idea. Simple and effective. The horn does stick out a little bit, and isn't flush, so it'd still be exposed but it'd hide the remaining gap to the left of it.

    The LED lights cost me like $80 or something like that.

    The WeenieWagun v3

    So, not exactly how I wanted it, but to center it in the hole would've meant hours of fabrication...so... this should be OK... Stainless hardware, K-loks, and threadlocker. It shouldn't be going anywhere. Now I gotta figure out what I want to do with the rest of the hole. Maybe a pseudo...

    So, siren = illegal in all 50 states. Airhorn, can be illegal depending on how loud it is and what state, but it's rarely enforced unless you're being a ... can't say it without getting a warning... but you know what I was gonna say.. :D As a former emergency vehicle upfitter.. .you have a...

    Too rude? The projectors have a sharp cutoff line.

    The WeenieWagun v3

    It's a fire truck airhorn - no other sound like it. Deep bass, felt in your soul... from 1/3 a mile away. There is no better 'Get the #(%& out of my way' sound than that... :ROFLMAO: Based on idiots that have cut me off before, I'll need it. Anyone who's been sitting at a light and...

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    The WeenieWagun v3

    FD removed the blackout light to install a siren speaker. I got a fire truck airhorn that I was gonna put in the same spot, but needed to open the hole a bit. I checked both sides and.... there was room.... to miss the wiring harness that was there.... .....until there wasn't..... because...

    923A2 ticking

    It's definitely coming from the engine compartment. I just meant I can hear it in the cab, not that it's originating in the cab. Sorry for not clarifying.

    923A2 ticking

    Heard in cab. Have not tried the tube method to narrow down where the sound is coming from though I probably should. Seems most present at idle, and under load at RPM. Above idle in Neutral it almost disappears. https://youtube.com/shorts/1CrzsTXPDNA Other vehicles I've had with that noise...

    M923A2 Dies When Put in Gear

    Make sure the switch at the end of the transfer case lever isn't stuck. It will do cause it to stall if it is.
