I use a automatic charging relay to charge my camper battery off of the front post of the rear battery in my truck. Works very well. It also lets my solar panel charge the truck batteries once full voltage is met on the optima. Simple solution. I can also combine the battery banks for...

My 1028 goes postal too.

Where did you find those michelin's? Looks like 9.00 r16 xl's.

Thanks for making it, along with countless other contributions. I try to grab them to my HD in case the site goes down.

You should be stepping down to 12v through the resister before hitting the GP relay. 24v will fry your plugs.

I seem to remember the orange wire in the TM is incorrect. There's a good correction photo here somewhere. I'll look for it.

Mine does the same thing. I've been whacked a few times and fear it. I just keep a looped piece of cord, or a carabiner, on the release. Good to know there is a stopper which will prevent this.

There are quite a few threads on this. I have a freeze plug heater and a lower rad heater. It would be impossible to start otherwise where I live.

I'm running 9.00 x r16 (about 36" 10.5") with no lift and some front fender trimming. I'm locked in, in the snow over 6 months a year, and it's my DD.

What do you need pictures for? You just replaced the switch yesterday. You have to make sure that the rod fully activates the switch. There's nothing to show that you haven't seen, intimately.

You needed to work that switch more. That's all. I prefer the floor switch as well though.

Work the switch a bit. It should click.

I had a bit of a similar problem when I installed my glow plug manual override. Turns out, the momentary switch I bought from NAPA was cooked. It apparently couldn't handle the amps so was always grounding the circuit. Put in a heavy duty one from Grainger and it works like a charm. Thanks...

Red Green Ouch! mss, thanks much.

Yes, kingpin springs, as has been posted many times before, are a very likely culprit. But, you got some good parts out of the adventure. Why didn't you really start with the cheapest part? Just curious.

Can you post a couple of detailed pics of your winch mount? Thanks.

Hum, that one flows clear to my engine bay. I'm curious why you are seeing that in your cab.

You could mount one of these off the front battery to the grill: https://www.vtewarehouse.com/content/electromech/JSC/html/JumpStartConnector.php but why, when you can just open the hood and run some cables, which you will need anyway?

Here in Colorado, my M1028 is registered as a postal vehicle. We don't even have mail delivery where I live. Insurance was a bit tougher, but I finally found a computer that would issue a policy. We don't have inspections or emissions either.

Yes. It's one of the happiest sounds a CUCV can make.
