You can also throw an equalizer/balancer into the mix (two if you run quads). Just remember that if not on the charger/maintainer the vampire will suck them all down equally if a balancer is in the equation. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09GLMCNXK

Here's what I recommend for charging: 1) search eBay for "24V PulseTech Battery Solar Pulse Charger w/Mounting Kit" or beter yet 2) charge your dual batteries via shore power (I prefer this over solar because the vampires come at night when the sun is down)...

Bet you a dollar that it's the 12v battery (outboard forward iirc). These trucks are notorious for a 12v vampiric drain when parked. It will suck the 12v side down (typically pulling that battery down). And when one of the four drops below 12v and the truck will not start...

It's an older design with no key. Just a long tapered shaft on the gen that slips into the cone of the power head. It's all bolted together and friction holds the connection. It's called a "single bearing" gen head (opposed to the belt drivens that are dual bearing). To make matters...

Not a belt, it's a tapered shaft direct drive.

I have a 10hp Yanmar that was a 24v battery charger. I pulled the alternator head off it and put a 6KW Northstar generator head on it. Worked great for a couple years (only had 50 hours on it and was only run for short duration). The generator head died a nasty death during the big Texas...

I just got a cheap set of 4' fiberglass trucker whips for now, I bolted them to the A1R grab rail that goes up and over the side windows. I'm not a huge fan of dual phase antennas but they were a cheap solution for now. I added HD ss springs to each antenna (because they will hit...

So many of the things I intended to purchase for the build are not available since the pandemic. I went to order a bunch of Dynamat stuff, but most of what I needed isn't in stock anywhere. I need a tapered-shaft 6KW generator head. Haven't found any new in stock after three years...

I got in the stuff for the cab sound/thermal install. Got in a couple radios (CB, HAM, GRMS) and a couple fiberglass whips. Laying out the plans for the front overhead console. Need to get the stereo, amps, and speakers ordered so I can do the interior mockup. I have the habitat...

Looks like I may have a crushed disk, they think. Been bothering me for about 18 months now. Finally got to the point I went to the doctor. Waiting for them to schedule an MRI now. I'm not entertaining surgery, but hopefully they can do a steroid or epidural kinda thing. Lifting...

I intended to mount it up front (have it pinned so I could drop out of the way when the cab was raised). Mockup felt like it was not long enough (I think it was like 6' and just didn't look long enough on the front of the LMTV). Now I'm looking at other applications for it (I may have an...

I saw that. Crazy price, IMO. I did finally see what my two brush guards I have in storage were supposed to be. They were listed as "side racks" but for some reason I never made the MWRP connection...

I had some success with glass scratch polish and a little buffing wheel. It takes ages, but it works.

MIne arrived today as well ! When are you guys coming out to help install them? ;)

I imagine that the bushings being failed/missing could result in such a deflection. I'd certainly start there. Yeah, you should be able to re-align the rear of the cab then drop in new bushings and bolt it all back together flush.

They have 3000 of them. $60 ea NOS PM me if interested.

Yeah, when they were a small, veteran-owned company with more guns than coffee in their ads/videos they were worthy. No longer true. I was talking to a guy in Sam's Club the other day and after we chatted he put back the two cases he had in his cart.

Well, I'm with Colt on this one. My truck performs just fine in the winter.

Yep, the biggest box is about 100 lbs full of all sorts of mounting solutions. And yeah, more boxes for the living room "storage". LOL

Crossposted from Camper Mods So I saw an ad for MRAP light set $250. Full kit: all the lights, remote spots, wiring, controller. You know how if something is too good to be true....well, it was true. I spoke to the guy over the phone for about 20 mins. It's an aviation company in CA. Saw where...
