    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    Tinkering with bits. Here's the specs on the heating element 14.5v 105w It's far more wattage than I would have imagined for a "battery heater". I have some 7w pads coming and they should do fine for when it sits out in a South Texas Winter (aka the month of February) but there are all...

    Stuck on the side of the road! Blew a ton of oil out, not sure where from

    That gave me a heart attack one time. Looked like gallons of oil had blown. It was about a six ounces. LOL

    1078a1 wipers wont return to "park"

    Someone on here did tell me the fix was the same and I'd find it behind the PDP, but as I said I've not been in there yet.

    1078a1 wipers wont return to "park"

    As I said, mine "parks" at the opposite end of travel. When I got the truck, they stopped about in the middle. I got to wiggling the wipers and broke it way better so now they stop upright. ;) /shurg

    1078a1 wipers wont return to "park"

    Get someone who has been in there to answer that. I was told all I needed to access a fix was behind the PDP. I've fixed it on cars before and I can only guess that it's the same fix. Lots of videos of auto repair, but I've never found one for an LMTV/MTV. *see 5:30

    1078a1 wipers wont return to "park"

    There is a little "latch" (for lack of a proper term) that can pop out and cause them to "park" in the wrong spot. But when that occurs they will typically return to the wrong same spot. While not the exact issue you describe, I'd suspect the cause is the same. My A1R parks the wipers in...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    I didn't know you made those. PM me a price if you will. No sense reinventing the wheel if I can afford it.

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    They've been selling for around $100 on GP. Many with very low hours (both mine have under 20). The buggers are the ones with no controllers, but most coming out of NVegas have shown to be intact. Ideally, I'd have a 35K if I could find one (the 60K is a beast to lug around). I love the fact...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    I also need to figure out the output on the internal charger. These things keep the batteries topped off via a thermal generator that spins with the generated heat. Pretty cool stuff. But I'm not sure what effect various sized batteries would have on the charging system (that's why I stayed...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    The battery pack consists of two rows of 6 x 2v. It's still only a 12v pack (two 12v batteries that are not even in parallel) . It is NOT a 24v system! There are separate leads to each battery (r+, blk- and w+ grn-). Two white wires for the heating element, and two brown wires for the temp...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    These guys will run off a couple 12v 8ah batteries. I have to spoof the battery temp sensor and the battery heater (working on a solution that will use the same components, but as those who have these know the batteries are epoxied into the pack along with the sensor and heating element). I...

    10' Cabover camper on a M1078

    If the camper has jacks, then this is totally doable. If you need the cab raised, just leg up the camper. Go for it ! Someone sent me a pic from a FB group and said the comment was made that it would be pretty simple to deal with (even if you don't have a crane). I love the look. In fact a...

    Newbie in over their head

    I bet that costs a pretty penny. The TM I have in print must be two reams of paper single-sided. The majority of it you'll likely never need. You can always just print the pages per task. I keep the electronic copies handy when I'm driving but the hard copy does come in handy in the garage.
