I've seen the spec's on the 400 AMP alternator. It does not put out 400 AMP at idle. I think it is approximately 200 AMP. It should pull more HP as you increase the electric load. (I have a 50 HP Diesel motor with a 42 KW head on it). 50 HP will not run a 42 KW head at full load. It should...

Do you have enough tension in the line going to the parking brake? Did you test the parking brake with the spring brakes released (pushing the large button on the dash)? Mine was loose since they used the spring brakes to PARK the truck. You may need to tighten the knob at the top of the...

Pictures would be nice....

1/2" is $2.36 per foot. It is rated for both natural Gas and LP. Picture attached for reference. I am not saying it is cheap, but it cuts down a lot in labor cost. I am not pushing you to use it. It is just an option for others who may read this.

Did you ask about using a flexible stainless steel gas tubing. They are starting to use it in buildings for the "home Runs" to save on labor cost. It is usually covered in a vinyl sleeve. Comes in many diameters. Stainless steel and vinyl would make it weather resistant. I have done plenty...

I plan to do the same in my cab. 2 Air ride seats and maybe a Cooler or Small fridge as the center console. Good for snacking on long drives. As far as the battery trays. Very nice, but pricy! Nothing that is RV related is cheap. :beer:

I have been thinking of how to tackle the battery relocation on my truck. I was planning to relocate the batteries to the tool box below the passenger door. I wanted to be able to use 4 batteries not 2. I realized after measuring the batteries in my Crown Vic that i could get 4 of the same...

My thermal switch was stuck (too dry). I took it apart and lubed the parts, then reassembled. Works fine now. Some members changed the o-rings on their's.

Sorry all taken! Louisiana has dibbs on it with option to renew every 100 years.

I have not seen one in person, but they look a lot smaller than the 400 AMP version. So they may fit (may need a different bracket) without major modifications. I saw some on line but a lot more than i paid for the 400 AMP version.

I managed to install new LED headlights on my latest truck. Need to finish the hardtop. Sand, seal, prime and paint the hardtop Desert Sand color. Still waiting on news about the trailer hitch and alternator mod.

Had the same problem with my latest M923. Ended up being 2 leaking diaphragms in the front wheels.

Went to NAPA and picked up 4 diaphragms Type 12 for my trucks. Ended up getting a discount so $4.50 each. Using a 3/8" ratchet with a deep 1/2" socket and a 1/2" closed end wrench I removed the bolt from the bottom of the retaining ring on the brake canister. Once the bolt was removed I...

I have been reading up on air brakes and how they function so I can fix the air leak in my braking system. I was loosing a lot of air from the secondary air tank when I depressed the brake peddle and then the Primary tank would start to drain as well. We shut off the secondary air tank by...

Correction made. Thanks.

You may want to consult with an exterminator about that bug up your * * *. DH was the one who stated "your post in at least 8th grade English" . I was bringing to his attention about an example that didn't pass 4th grade English and no one corrected it! Of course you had to jump in a stick...

"Is there many members here from AZ" I believe that title violates your 8th grade rule. We learned that (plural) rules back in 4th or 5th grade! My teeth grit every time i see it! :(

Have not gotten any updates in a while. He must be busy working to finance the project. :tank:

Minimum speed on the interstate is 40 MPH so you can take the interstate. I have always used I-12 with all my trucks. :driver:

Like in George of the Jungle "watch out for that tree!"
