My post with a 'STFU' in it was not an attack on any person/ member here, although it has been portrayed as such. In the thread where I used it, there were unsupportable comments, seemingly by those wishing the cheapest  disposable possible solution, was also ultimately superior, and they had...

First off, My STFU coment was not made toward sabatical, He was not making any claims without any data as to power consumption without having measured anything or collected any data. I wish his residential fridge project well. I am however, done contributing.   The fact that my whole post was...

Crimped and heatshrunk and a smaller than required fuse.  No worries Just carry spare fuses.

I ditched my K&N filter and went back to paper after about 10 years, as I found dust inside my throttle body. I've considered insulating my stock cold air tube, but The air must be moving fast enought that the hot platic tube cannot impart much heat to it. My Aircleaner has a little diverter...

And here are those details. The quiescent draw on my 12vDC danfoss/secop  powered  Vitrifrigo front loader fridge is somewhere around 0.02 amps, when the compressor is not running,  I have a 0.03 amp internal 40mm computer fan running 24/7. It is powered from the internal LED light and blows...

How much bigger is the opening down through your carb/ throttle body than the opening on the old air filter housing? I'd prefer my engine suck up cold/cool air from the tube which leads to the front of the vehicle rather than suck up hot underhood air.

Some have figured out a way to have the fridge thermostat fire up the inverter when it is ready to fire up the compressor and elmininate most or all of the standby draw. I am not sure how this is done but it would go a long way on saving battery power. NOthing worse than wasting juice doing...

I went through 4 copper/brass radiators in 7 years. The copper fins disintegrated into a paper like consistency from my salt air environment. I switched to all aluminum in 2011. That radiator ( Silla) started seeping from where the tubes meet the bottom tank in 9 months. BUt one bars leak...

Some Tx's need to be checked idling in neutral, not sure about yours. Many rebuild shops, who should really know better, use their bulk universal one size fits all transmission fluid. One size DOES NOT fit all, even with an additive they such places also brag about. Dodge overdrive...

I'd think there is a difference when the fridge is being shipped and abused, versus actually having the compressor  running and being bounced around.  They might be susceptible to being run a few degrees off level as well. BUt we do not really have enoiugh data to say whether the residential...

Lifeline states a minimum 20% charge rate when cycled to 50% State of charge, 20 amps per 100Ah of capacity. They also state there is really not recharging current too highas long a 14.4v@77f is not exceeded. i would not recommend any plug in charging source which cannot meet this 20 amps per...

If a controller says not to remove battery connections while solar panels are still feeding it, follow their instructions. If they list an order of hooking things up or disconnecting them, follow it If they say a specific fuse rating is required in between controller and battery, use one...

There is a similar device to the Kill a watt that measures start up surges. BradKW got one and had a thread on it. it was the same price as the KAW IIRC. Can't remember details as to how well it worked. Also keep in mind my positive experience with my Northstar AGM is because i can meet its...

What kind of test, Like did it turn on and get cold, or something more useful like using a Kill a watt and seeing how much electricity it actually used for the time it was on? The Dorm/ residential fridges generally are not very efficient.  Also feel the sides of the new fridge when it is...

I for one appreciate that there is a "for women only' title on some threads regarding the women specific forum. Just like when my mother and aunts and sister and female cousins and whomever else would get together and bicker about how men suck and can't do anything right while presenting...

I like the small jumper wire from house battery side to coil activation trigger stud idea the best. Only one connection to screw up. Reversing the polarity on a jumpstarter is possible. Such a person much have just as many isues trying to use a 9v battery to close the solenoid too, Which we...

Move both big cables of. Solenoid to same stud. Later, Return them

Dielectric grease is noot conductive. it is to prevent moisture and oxygen getting onto the conductive surfaces and allowing them to fester. It can get old and hard and actually becoma an issue after a while if there is arcing going on around it. A sterile connector can be accomlished first...

The connector wiggle causing a stall at the ECM/PCM is a bitch. The weight of the wire bundle at the computer itself seems to fracture the solder joints where the pins meet th circuit board. My connector was an issue as well from techs piercing the wire insulation right at the connector and it...

Conventional oil is now so good there is little reaon to go synthetic in most applications. But a 5 quart bottle of pennzoil yellow bottle being 18 dollars and a 5 quart jug of Mobil one being 3$ more at wal mart.  well spread out over the year to 18 months I keep my oil in circulation, is...
