And not to beat a dead horse, but trailer ratings include the weight of the trailer itself, so even if it's rated for 7k, it might not be big enough for a 6k lb truck if the trailer itself weighs over 1k (and for that rating they usually do)
The soft lines along there are fuel return. They go from injector to injector.
They do age and need replaced, so not an uncommon thing. They are very low pressure.
Depends on the actual trailer ratings, but if it's loaded with good weight distribution, sway shouldn't be an issue.
For u-haul trailers, it would depend on the trailer weight rating for how safe it is. A lot of them used in the rental industry are underrated compared to their component...
Mildly off topic:
I spoke with one of my customers up here last week.
Her son is down in Georgia, and finally decided to buy a generator this year.
Day before the hurricane hit, he finally had an electrician do the wiring to hook it up to the house panel.
A week after the storm was over he...
Even if the breaker is tripped, the vehicle should still move in 2nd gear and reverse in limp mode.
How long did it work again after resetting the breaker? Did it work until shut off, or did it stop working while you were operating the vehicle?
These are supposed to go into limp mode when...
Use a laser thermometer to verify the temp.
As long as the fan comes on, the temp drops, and the fan kicks back off, then everything there is good.
Oil pressure senders/gauges for these seem to be all over the place, but as long as it has oil pressure showing on the gauge and it goes up and down...
I've never done business with them because of their deceptive wording on a lot of their products. Things such as "meets OEM specs" but is also "25% stronger than OEM", all while being way cheaper than OEM.
Some of it looks like it's straight out of the shipping container from China.
If you...
As long as the fan is kicking on at that temp and cooling it down about 10-20 degrees then kicking off, then you should be fine.
Above 230 degrees is when you need to start worrying, but 220 is fine.
Water boils at 212 at sea level.
Under 15psi pressure (standard radiator cap) the boiling...
Found the craigslist ad for the same stuff, and has some additional info in it

Here is the manufacturer troubleshooting guide for the 200 amp generator/regulator.

With any situation where the gauge in the truck is telling you something is wrong, it's usually a good idea to use some other measurement device to verify that the gauge is functioning properly before you start throwing money at replacement parts.
A laser thermometer aimed at the neck at the end...
It all really depends on your end goal. Running to a third battery does allow you to run equipment with the engine off without worrying about draining your starting batteries, which is very important in some situations. In this situation running a second Orion converter to use as the charger...
Since you already have one Orion converter installed, you can always add a second one. Victron website says that you can run up to 5 of them in parallel for additional power output.
That will depend on the condition of your suspension. If you have any sag, then best stick with 37"
If your suspension is in great shape, then 39.5" is the max. Interco made several tires in that size specifically because that was the largest that would fit on an H1, which was the exact same...
The pro 50 is massive overkill unless you plan on running the batteries down regularly, and then need the truck soon afterwards. You're probably better off financially to buy a pair of 12V lithium jump boxes and a noco gen 5X2 or 5X10. You can hardwire them in and have each battery charged...
No reason why those would not work. I'm running group 24 AGM for almost 5 years now and no issues.
They will bolt down with the original hold down bracket as well with no modifications, but if you get antsy about it you can always cut some lumber to go around them so they can't shift.
