If you have 24 at the batteries and a lot less than that at the slave receptacle, then you definitely have a bad connection or bad wire somewhere in the box. Most likely having to do with the ground wire from the rear battery to shunt. Slave cable connects to the same posts as the battery does...

Like guyfang said, never remove the positive terminal first. Start with the negative terminal from the cable that goes to the block, not the one that goes between batteries, then next is the one between the batteries. Reason being if the ground is still hooked up and you accidentally touch a...

Yes, still red for positive and black for negative (I went out and double checked my truck just to be sure) Positive to the red connector on the wall of the battery box towards the front of the vehicle, in the center of the box is a DC shunt where the negative attaches. It looks like in your...

I'm assuming by "red marked shunt" you mean the positive connection on the side of the battery box. I may be wrong with terminology but the shunt is where the negative cable connects then ha a bunch of bars to connect it to the vehicle ground. Do you show voltage when you check the negative...

I don't think you'll find anywhere near the anal retentiveness in this hobby as much as you do in the Harley world. With the limited availability of some parts, expense of others, and that these things need a lot of maintenance, it's enough for most of us that you own one and are keeping it...

If it's a 998 you can install the 6.5 or 6.5 turbo no problems. The 998A2s have the 6.5 and 4 speed, and as I understand even some of the earlier versions have them in it when they had engine/transmission issues. Over the weekend we had 3 trucks side by side with the hoods up. 2 998s and one...

Just a little light cleaning on my truck, getting it ready for the PNW Steel Soldiers rally this weekend. Funny thing today, was walking through the Habitat for Humanity ReStore (they take donations for construction materials and household appliances to resell for those that don't know what it...

Thanks for letting us know, always nice to have some closure on an issue just in case someone else has the same issue.

Spent a couple hours changing the direction of a tire on the rim. 3 tires came on the truck facing the same direction, one the opposite. I took off the one of the 3 that was on the wrong side, so now the tread faces one way on one side and other way on the other (or in other words, all tires...

So about 18 years ago I was working as a small engine mechanic at a mom and pop shop. Some guy brought in a 5kw air cooled Army diesel generator that he bought and wouldn't start. One of the guys at the shop was a diesel locomotive mechanic, he was the first to take a look at it. He...

I don't, because mine is more for backup use, not regular use. From what I understand biodiesel breaks down a lot faster than regular diesel does, so not a good option for an emergency/standby unit. The other issue is if there is any gunk in your fuel system, it WILL clean it up, and you'll...

It's easy enough to wire it for the L14-30 then having a couple of adapters to common outlet types made up and stored with the unit. Either that or wire up multiple cables off the military terminals so you can just pick and choose which you want to use for any situation. Most likely though...

Got the aluminum surge tank installed. One thing to note, it is a little longer than the plastic one was. The hoses for the Red Dot aircon were at the wrong angle, and interfered with the new tank, not allowing it to sit where it is supposed to to be tightened down. Fortunately the rest of my...

At least some of the NO.CO chargers seem to be aimed towards the boating/RV crowd for keeping the house batteries charged up. I know of very few boats/RVs with house batteries that don't also have some provision for charging the batteries in the vehicle while operating and not just when plugged...

So latest update, the vender apparently placed an order with the distributor, but 2 weeks later they're still backordered, as all current stock is going to the military or something like that. They offered to take the tank back from me and will send me a shipping tag. Even if nothing else was...

Removed the red dot aircon from the truck bed and cab area, need to figure out whether it's safe to leave the compressor installed with the serpentine belt on it or if I should get a different belt until I'm ready to reinstall the rest of the system. When removing a couple of the wires I saw a...

I thought it looked a little funny. Just installed windshields on my HMMWV, and the seal didn't look anything like that. So now I have the windshield done, reverse circuit and working lights, tailgate, license plate bracket and light, and been crawling around underneath it hitting all the...

is it even possible to hook a 10KW 240V load to the 120 outlet?

I haven't had the issue in my HMMWV yet, but for other vehicles I'll run a dehumidifier in them to remove all the moisture that I can, then run an ozone generator to get rid of any leftover smells. The HMMWV doesn't seal up as well as a civilian vehicle though, so might not work as well. Might...

Rules are guidelines, if you understand the reason why the rule exists then you can figure out what to do about it. Chainbreaker just gave a few examples of very valid reasons for the rule against active auction links to exist.
