    Engine probs with '02 7.3 diesel E450.

    Just limped out of the mountains into Asheville, NC with some engine problems I'm having with my '02 7.3 diesel E450. Looks like I'm going to wait till shops reopen on Monday and try to get it looked at. The one guy that does 24/7 repair has such horrible reviews on Google I'm afraid to try it...

    That's awesome Doug, congrats on your first trip! Funny you mention the flying pickled peppers, as the jars you gave me also escaped the fridge...but luckily didn't break :) And Damned Roofers +1 ...with all the debris and roofing going down here, I'm afraid to drive the truck! Every other...

    Go Power! Has Great Customer Service!

    I choose GoPower components after extensive research due to their customer service I saw evidence of while plowing through the reviews. My own experience with tech support has also been excellent...glad to hear yours' was too! GoPower is very competitive in pricing of inverters...this is the...

    Do you ground battery negative terminal to chassis?

    My 12 volt, 24 volt, and 110 systems are not grounded... All are separate from the vehicle starting batteries. I really wish somebody could explain to me why using the vehicle chassis as a common neutral ever became referred to as "grounded" when it is actually anything but. I also wish somebody...

    Water damage, the good the bad and other upgrades

    How did your heater install go? I just put the same unit in a few weeks ago and then parked through a hurricane...and no leaks! :D It's thin metal and deformed slightly, but enough that the vent louvers really obstructed the cover lid closing. But some moderate persuasion got it back into...

    Box Truck Progress Pics

    Still trying to figure out how to get my Jeep back to key West... long story, but it ended up here and the guy who drove it can't take it back. And my driveway gig at Abnorm's is about to end with him leaving...so not sure what my plan is. Going to spend tomorrow at a HD parking lot or...

    So my Irma evacuation to Abnorm's Orlando driveway has really been basically a nice vacation and shakedown run for the build...made a lot of progress getting rear seating and murphy bed built: Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    Unexpected Maiden Voyage

    Big thanks to Doug for his hospitality during the storm! I'm really enjoying the aspect of living in the truck and letting the final details of design sort out. Among my initial purchases on the road: hanging shoe organizers! Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

    So Corttt, what was the final solution or result with the battery?

    Unexpected Maiden Voyage

    As you've probably noticed, Key West is in the crosshairs of Irma. In 17 years I've never evacuated, but I can't risk the truck now...too much uninsured money to roll the dice.  So I'm looking to hit the road Thurs night probably...got some things to do to get ready. Hopefully this will be an...

    Help! Inverter research overload! LF or HF? 1k or 2kw? Charger bulit-in?

    That Freedom Xi looks ok, I like how it has the built-in transfer switch. I don't see any remote being offered tho and that's something you may end up wanting...I'm glad I got one...but maybe it's available. Pretty sure there was a period where Xantrax was using the term "True Sine" on units...

    Our friend, Wayne Wirs, has moved on from this life

    After reading his pre-suicide letter, I was really left thinking that his three triggers for when he would check out seemed rather devoid of any willingness to adapt or overcome. I would tend to agree with his own assessment that they border on Prima Donna'ish...certainly lacking much patience...
