I move my batteries ans slave reciptical this morning so I can patch the rotted out hole in the floor. I was just going to move the batteries but I liked it so much I moved the slave also and after talking to Csm Davis I think I am going to take his advise and add another battery and a 12 volt alternator. I will do the addition at a later date, I took all the measurements and it will go with 1 1/2" of space between the three batteries.
If any one else does this put the slave reciptical in first it is easier! I do not like the wires going as close to the exaust like they are now, just went to NAPA to see if they had something I could put over the wires for protection against the heat of the exhaust they did not(any help will be appericated on the heat issue). I may have to make the wires longer and reroute them. My ground wire was too short to reach the battery as they are so I put a 3/8" bolt through the box with a wire on each side of the box, the wire will reach when I add the other battery.
I do not know if I will put the battery box back in the cab, I may move the drivers seat to the passengers side and get a air ride seat for the driver. Does anyone know if a new rubber mat can be had without the cut out for the battery box?
If you see anything wrong with this mod please let me know. Thanks for looking!
