Wrex, Sorry I'm late getting back. My truck was the original cammo when I got it, and had some other bumper number. I painted it tan, and stenciled on my old unit's number: C Co, 2/75. Yes, I know 2/75 didn't have CUCVs. :)

TD, As long as the sun can hit the actual solar cells, you should be fine painting everything else.

The manufacturer claims a 3X increase in battery life. I can only hope. http://www.pulsetech.net/productinfo/product_sheets/SolarPulse_Specs.pdf

We've got it covered from here, thanks.

Seabee Mike, I wouldn't connect two panels to the electronics module. Even in parallel, where the voltage is the same 24 volts, the current would be twice what the electronics module is designed for.

SeaBee Mike, if you connect two panels together, you must connect them in parallel (plus to plus, minus to minus) which keeps them outputing the same votage, but doubles the current. If you connected the panels in series, plus to minus and plus to minus, that doubles the voltage, while keeping...

Junk, Since the two 12 volt batteries are wired in series, they add up to 24 volts. Connect the Solargizer to the opposite ends of both batteries. I think there were instructions included in the box.

Thanks, Wallew. No need to paint those bolts, though - the hardware is all stainless steel, the hood holes are protected with black silicone sealer. The truck/Solargizer has become a conversation starter. I came out of the DMV yesterday, to admirers who asked "What's that on the hood?"

Can't take a photo now, but here's some info: Follow the red battery cable from the rear battery back to where it connects on the firewall. The bus bar it connects to is covered by a white-ish fiberglass cover. This cover is secured with two knurled knobs. There is a photo of this on my...

Inspired by others' installations of this battery life-extending device, I wanted to put one on my M1028. After searching and reading all there is on this site, I found a 24V version on eBay for about the same price as a 12 year old bottle of McCallan Scotch. I waited until after I...
