    Solar Battery Tending

    Have you used their products? Can you help me find the right one? They make a pile of them and I can't figure out why some are more expensive.

    Solar Battery Tending

    I found this product: https://www.pulsetech.net/store/solar-battery-chargers/24v-solar-chargers/sp-24psc-pulsetech-24v-battery-solar-pulse-charger-desulfator-6w.html It's quite pricey. I'm not in the market for a tender right now because I am driving my vehicle on a very regular basis. I will be...

    batteries in lmtv?

    I just ordered them tonight. The guys at my local NAPA had no idea what Dry means. I also ordered some battery acid. Does it come pre-mixed with water or do I also need to buy some De-ionized water?

    batteries in lmtv?

    If you are not done with the wiring project I strongly recommend you use solder pellets instead of crimping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXDkNMDDrBs I installed some -48V DC wiring in a datacenter and the crimp tool that can do 0, 00, 000 size wires (common on batteries) is $600.

    Solar Battery Tending

    I am looking for a solar powered battery tender to keep my batteries topped up. Another member mentioned there are 24V solar panels (products) for keeping your batteries topped up. When I did my initial search I was able to find a company called PulseTech who makes some products. Are there others?

    LMTV California Registration

    I have paid the fees at the DMV to start the process of importation as a commercial vehicle. I need a CHP VIN verification and a Smog Inspection. My engine has stickers on it declaring it to be California Smog compliant at time of manufacture and I have the air board ruling for it as well. The...

    FMTV fuel system questions

    Fuel filters won't flow of they get water and algea in them. First step should be to swap both filters. My cat mechanic says the first filter is low pressure the second high pressure. I have no idea how to safely depressurize the system. In a diesel system fuel deposits and carbon can build...

    I may go this route depending on how hard it is to source the wiring bits.

    batteries in lmtv?

    Wow excellent modification. So I'm guessing they all fit in as expected? Can you post an updated photo with all the new wiring in place? Doing a quick search it looks like the group 31 batteries have 105 Ah capacity. So that means your total capacity is some 800 + Ah now? Did you opt for...

    Was there a cargo box ever made for the FMTV?

    those boxes look like they just attach to the flip down sides and hold down points.

    LMTV like a KAMAZ?

    Is it just me or do the Dakar T4 Kamaz have nearly identical suspension to the LMTV M1078 vehicles? From the vehicles it looks like leaf sprung solid axles front and rear. The race trucks get newer modern shocks and some better bump stops.

    LMTV California Registration

    It sounds like registering my vehicle as an RV won't work for this year and I should have no trouble registering it as a commercial truck. Just add some zeros to the VIN.

    LMTV California Registration

    From what I'm told to do an RV registration I would need a box on the back plus some stuff. Is it possible to do it as an RV with no improvements? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using Tapatalk

    LMTV California Registration

    With regards to the VIN. According to the California DMV it's short and therefore needs to be verified. A Verifier the California Highway Patrol (CHP) or a VIN Verifier needs to find the VIN on the vehicle in two places. There is another thread and the only place the VIN appears is on the data...
