Yeah, seems like these trucks really don't like Chinese electronics! I had a battery blow up from a cheapo equalizer that shorted out and caused all kinds of issues. Luckily the damage doesn't look too bad, it could have been a lot worse. Just FYI, you can't nickname your truck "Crispy", it's...

Yeah, this will be a cool photo to look back on in ten years when he's almost all grown up lol

I'll throw mine in the mix again, '69 Kaiser Jeep M35A2 W/W, picture with my son on his first day of school.

So I'm having issues finding the right o-rings, the Hutchinson 50116 style. The tire shop I go to say they can't get those. Any one as of recently have any luck? I might do that stuff gringle mentioned, but I'd like to know I have new and the correct o-rings for future use.

Hopefully I can make it, between work and rebuilding my engine!

That's probably what happened. I didn't notice any odors, it was pretty windy out too, so maybe that's why I didn't smell anything.

That looks good. I bet performs much better too. I left the pneumatic wipers on mine but replaced the wiper arms with ANCO and ANCO wiper blades, so much better than the stock version. Only con, need to turn the air way up to get speed on the wipers as the new arms and blades have a lot more...

Sounded like a gunshot and vibrated the whole truck when it exploded.

Like Mullaney said, but mine has wires that ran from the (-) and (+) with a wire that connects to the ground on one of the batteries so it can transfer energy to whichever battery has a lower voltage to equalize them or keep them balanced. Apparently the only thing weaker than an electrical...

Same here, but it's just to keep the batteries at the same energy levels since the first one in the series is typically overcharged. I think I'll just switch the batteries around once a month or so for now on until I find a quality unit. As far as accessories go, I only have auxillary lighting...

Looks like a great time! Love the shower curtain!😄

My deuce "Crispy" is trying to live up to its name, yesterday after work, I started up the deuce and about three minutes later, I hear this "sssssss" sound. Wasn't sure if it was air or what... nope, came a loud bang, sounded like a shotgun blast going off in the cab, the floor on the passenger...

Not trying to hijack the thread, but what is the better equalizer y'all run that works without having issues? I had some off brand one from eBay and it shorted out causing my battery to explode and a major short.

I'll add, if you ever decide to add a battery equalizer, do not use Amazon or a cheap one... I learned my lesson, bought a cheap one off Fleabay and it shorted out causing one of my batteries to explode and a major short that burned bout every light on the truck as well as my temperature, oil...

That may be, I just know every once in a while I get full power back and it runs great, then goes back to lagging again, it's not bad bad, but you can tell there's a power loss there.
