When I picked up mine, the RFID tag was on the winch plate in front (mine didn't come with a tailgate)

I'm using one of these on my Generac QP7500D generator. https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_410797_410797 only catch is, you're need to make some other type of vent, as the one on it is built into the fuel cap, so if it's getting rained on you will probably get moisture into the...

I drove on the beach a week ago. Past couple days it's rained pretty good, some of the roads had water over them. I used it as an opportunity to rinse the undercarriage of the truck. Turns out, the holes from the RedDot system wires WILL allow water in, and if you're going fast enough it...

Generator is putting out power. As long as the power is within the input requirements of the inverter/charger, then the generator is good. Considering it's being converted to DC power to charge the batteries, it shouldn't matter if the volts or frequency is a little off. The ONLY thing that...

Can buy smaller aux type tanks from Northern Tool, just have to install the fitting you need into it and should be good to go.

If you have the 60 amp generator in your truck running 12V anything from a single battery is a big no-no. The earlier trucks with 3 speed and 60 amp generators only supply 24V to the batteries together, it doesn't do anything to make sure that each battery is getting an equal amount. Usually...

oh, and continuing to run it in this condition where one battery is getting 16V is very very bad for that battery. Not sure if the optimas can explode like a flooded lead acid, but it will definitely shorten it's life. Btw, it would also help for use to know what generator is in the truck...

The glow plugs cycle in short bursts when the engine is first turned on. The needle will bounce around because the generator is lagging just a little behind the glow plugs for power output, so voltage dips briefly, then it spikes as the plugs draw power then stop. If one of your batteries is...

These generators don't change speed when running. Or at least not more than a very slight amount. It's not enough to really notice compared to the increasing amount of noise from the extra work the gen is doing with a heavy load. The volume gets louder, the tone deepens a little, but the...

should be able to back it on flat ground without it locking up, but if you try to back it uphill or very soft soil there can be enough resistance to cause brakes to start engaging. Once they start to engage you're fighting a losing battle, they'll just keep engaging further until fully...

For my reverse lights I ran a wire up to the horn in the front. Used a Y splitter so I wasn't cutting any wires, and hooked in on the input side of the horn. horn works when the button on the steering wheel grounds the system, the wires at the horn are live whenever the switch is in the stop...

not likely part of the demil process, more likely some jerk wanted to do it or thought he could use those wires somewhere else or on a different rig. Glad to hear it's working for you now.

Talking to the trucks in front of and behind me in the parade I was in, neither of them heard me when I used my horn. I can barely hear my horn. Just tell them it's "tactically quiet" (don't do that)

Camecho has some multi voltage 4 pin connector cameras. Kind of cheap, but their stuff has decent reviews for the price. https://www.amazon.com/Camecho-Without-Support-Waterproof-Connector/dp/B073PBTY56/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=camecho+24v+vehicle+camera&qid=1577990849&s=automotive&sr=1-11

I've gotten a few laughs from people when following a 5 ton in a parade. Everyone wants to hear the air horn, me following up afterwards with the "beep beep" of the HMMWV horn is usually good for a few laughs. Backing is a major pain, military always required a second person to ground guide...

http://www.hummerknowledgebase.com/parts/list/005.html has lists of most major manufacturer filters with part numbers. Includes a K&N washable filter, but it's easily twice the price (or more) of the paper ones, and for clean air driving conditions the paper ones last a long time. As far...

if power is out any anyone within a block or two of you is running a gasoline generator they won't hear the 802. Heck, you might not even hear your own generator if the house next to you is running an open frame gasoline generator. I ran an 802 behind my HMMWV to power some lights for a parade...

Honestly, if you have a pipe wrench, string, some pencils or small blocks about 1/4" thick and the wrenches for the clamps, it's pretty easy. I just did it a couple weeks ago, and it solved my pulling to the right on a flat road issue (rear left tire too much toe out, and both front tires toed...

I'll second that, if it has the 3 speed going over 55 for anything more than short periods of time is not a good idea unless you want an excuse to upgrade the engine.

Looks good.
