We're back a little earlier than intended. There were a couple of things which contributed to this. I had an injection actuation pressure code & CEL prior to leaving which I thought I had addressed. The truck ran flawlessly and felt great all the way down and into the backcountry. We had our...

Minimal signal out here, but gorgeous... Running well, driving great, fantastic scenery!

Yesterday.... UT/ID border. Running like a champ. We're in Kanab, UT this morning. To the Wave tomorrow.

Heck yeah! This was in our prior rig: Stunning scenery and enjoyable hiking!

I have one or two things to wrap up, but if all goes as expected, we will be heading out in our rig on Weds to southern UT/northern AZ for a week in the wilds. After a handful of shakedowns, this will be our first real trip. Our route will be I-84 through Baker City, Boise, etc... to I-15 and...

FYI - Had a similar issue but... It ended up being one of the wires had backed out of the Packard connector when I was swapping out a sending unit. Check that connector's integrity if the issue re-surfaces.

FYI - It quickly became annoying for me. I have a bolt in panel with the opening cut out which bolts into a slightly larger opening. I found the metal spine inside the attaching edges will work its way out of the rubber with repeated removal and reinstalls. The bolt in panel was an easy...

There are also graphite lubes which have it (graphite) suspended in solution. The solution carries it into the sheathing but then will evaporate so dirt, etc... does not stick to cable and compound the problem, but it leaves the graphite behind to provide the glide. I know you can find it at...

4 X 455W through a Victron MPPT

After getting just about everything working in the camper, the wife, dog, and I headed out into the Gorge last week for a few nights out in the cold as a shakedown for a much bigger trip in Feb. Things started off extremely well, including finding some sunshine and some interesting scenery...

I've had it for so long to do the swap that I honestly forget how I landed on it. I want to say that it was a recommendation from someone on here but I can't place it right now. They seem to be the OTR standard and widely available, and it's working well for me so far. It doesn't seem to be...

Have crossed a number of things off my list recently- New AD-9 dryer: Installed fresh water tank level gauge: (powers up when I turn illuminated switch on) The 120 side of panel has been validated. I have been running through the Victron now, pulling 120 through the inverter to run tools...

Ugh. Found it! The back end of the Packard connector at the sender had corroded/disconnected. Didn't need to chase it much further than the plug. Replaced the connector with something made this century and all is good now. Updating this thread so the next person doesn't feel as stupid as I...

No need... Just take a closer look at the reduction units in each hub. There are 3 main components for the reduction gearset: The outer bevel gear attached to the spinning axle The "spider" gears on the cross The inner bevel gear rigidly attached to the axle housing. If you lock the outer...

I found it on the schematic, appears to be fed by CB77 with flow through the gauge, then sender, then level. I assume there should be some sort of voltage at the connector from the chassis to the tank. Right? I swapped in my larger tank, did nothing but remove the old one, swap in the new...

Thanks gents. I also got a few pointers today from Rick and will be giving it a shot tomorrow. Will look up Ron's vid shortly as well.

I have still to learn how to navigate the TM's... Can anyone point me at the priming procedure for the motor (dry fuel tank)? Is there one? Am I overthinking this? Looking at it, I am tempted to loosen the plug on the unused output port and push the button until the air is out and the fuel...

If you have a recommendation, I'd be open to it. It's a new subject for me... added the 7 db antenna and it came with a 3 (I think those were the numbers). In OR/WA, we will be dealing with mountains, valleys, and trees (3 db), but on longer trips to the SW, it will be more open desert (7db)...

On the back of the cab currently, but it's moveable:
