Be sure to use the air filter on the mv 50 , but first clear the air filter inlet holes of leftover flashing material which can starve the unit of air. Might want to start the compressor before threading the tire valve on, and carry an extra 30 amp ATC fuse for it. it draws between 16 and 19...

Hmm that drip was new, and  a napkin dabbed on asphalt revelaed it was reddish. Inspect.  See Transmission cooler line has a drip on it about 12 inches from transmission.  Wipe it off, not a natural collection spot,  Hmmmmm, see some rust.  Hook thumbnail under some rust, a chuck comes off, and...

I still think a DC power supply feeding a quality solar controller would come pretty close if they could be made to play nicely together long term. I once really wanted a good automatic charging source.   Now when i have 120Vac available I simply choose one of two base voltages.  14.7 or...

There is not much difference in your 99's front suspension, than my 89 I fully rebuilt mine myself in 2011. i did not consider the premade control arms with the ball joints and bushings installed. mostly as the reported aftermarket replacements were said to be steel of half the gauge...

2 12v agm batteries should maintain higher voltages under load than 6v gc-2 golf cart batteries.  BUt Not all AGMS are made equally in this regard.   The Northstar AGM battery wants to be high amp recharged every so often.  I give my 90Ah battery 40 or 65 amps when plugged in, or when...

When my posts are short, I was typing on my phone. Since 8/2014 I have upgraded my vehicles voltage regulator, which controls the alternator's output in an attempt to seek and hold absorption voltage.  I can now spin a dial and choose the  target voltage.  If the alternator can make enough...

How much battery capacity you looking to charge? I have accumulated more data And experience since the beginning of this thread

Where did you get the info that MMO is a group 5 Synthetic? That has to be one of the most ridiculous things I have read on the internet for a while. I might use a small percentage of MMO in a sludged engine toward the end of an oil change, but never in a healthy engine's sump and certainly...

In general I can't recommend any smart charger unless I have used it.  Anybody can read others opinions and parrott them, the internet is full of that. The charger is listed at 40 amps, that is its amperage limit.  A power supply is able to output UPto its limit, but without constant current...

APPs are pretty darn good I agree, but can be finicky on crimping on the 45 amp versions. I've never used the roll pins or their locking devices. I've found that when the connector might be unplugged from wire weight or other physical stress on the wire, then a paper clamp/ binder clip works...

x2 On other sites so may are like 'why don't you just throw money at it, as I did whilst patting myself on the back in my quest to relate my extreme levels of self importance' We seem to be living in times where  being hyper sensitive, taking offense and seeking sources of indignation is the...

Clean the area around the fan, Apply Eternabond tape, move on to other  things. I'd not pull the fan just to get new butyl tape under  the flange

No worries, just do not leave the house batteries in parallel with the old starter battery for any length of time when there is no charging occurring. New and old batteries in hard parallel is unwise. temporary is OK And the solar current for Engine battery will not be going through house...

Nah, run the starter battery to the ground, you can always self jump when it fails, but if a Cell does short then get it out of there. It should only read about 10.5v rested when a cell shorts. My buddy has a starting battery 4 years old and will not get over 1.200 specific gravity held at 16v...

temperature compesated Hydrometer for flooded batteries. AGM, when a 100AH AGM battery can only accept 0.5 amps or less at 14.4 to 14.7v then it can be considered fully charged. This does not work at 13.6v or anything less than absorption voltage.

Voltage only relates to state of charge exactly, on a rested battery, one which has not seen charging or loads applied for a long time. Also batteries will have slightly differnet full charge resting voltages. My Northstar AGMN rests at 13.06v when fully charged, so saying that 12.73v is 100%...

HDR hit it with the Seafoam applied after the new plugs were installed. I've done the seafoam smoke show thing and gotten a smoother idle, but there is risk of fouling the plugs and 02 sensor. I was using the spray can of Seafoam Deep creep and actually driving and then gunning the engine...

Your starter battery dropping from 12.54 to 11.89 with the key on is a lot of drop, but I don;t know how much load there is on yours.  Pretty much says the battery is weak unless the pre starter engagement load with key to ON/run is 25+ amps, which I doubt. Mine is about 3 to 4 amps once the...

My phone actually has a bunch of screws under the back cover I was considering removing and seeing if I could further increase ventilation to the mysterious innards. If it was a full submersion I likely would have The reduced speed ShopVac sucking air/ moisture was likely highly effective, more...

My Norcold had a passive condenser and a fan which would only come on if the temperature in the area exceeded 115F or something like that.. I basically powered this 24v fan on 12v always and had very good ventilation of it.  I had hooked up 2 louder  60MM fans to come on switched by fridge...
