Thanks. I also confirmed that it does this facing either way on an incline. No other issues with shifting or the AWD observed. I'll have to do some lookign into it. It's been like that since I owned the truck. It's 100% a trans thing and not brakes. I can feel the trans hold and release.

Odd. I'll have to do a video as I said. Mine does not free roll forward on a mild incline (never has). It's not brakes, because as soon as I shut off the ignition it will roll as you guys describe. I figure that it must be the trans that's holding it in place in N. Next time you are about in...

I just assumed it was a thing with the upgraded trans. I'll take a video after the holidays.

He's talking about the trans. For those that don't know, the A1R trucks have an odd sort of "park" feature in that model Alison. My truck sits on an inclined driveway (typically backed in). With the ignition on or the truck running, I can put it in neutral and release the brakes and the truck...

You must have missed the part where he said it was actually working and had provided power. So no, it's clearly not solar. ;)

Not my truck obviously, but I saved it for inspiration. :)

Make it a CTIS cover also and $$$$$$$$$$$$ LOL

Yeah, the military Pull Pal is rated to 12k pull for up to 10k GVW and they make a industrial 14k version for up to 12k GVW. I suspect the limits are structural (ie where the anchor disassembles itself). So GWV + resistance (mud, sand, etc). Personally, I'm more a fan of the one-piece...

Here's serious contender, but it doesn't list a weight rating. But it's basically the same design as a marine plow anchor. IMO, the one-piece solutions are the only ones that these trucks won't disassemble. https://www.dnaoffroad.com.au/ground-grabber-winch-anchor-large.html

When / if I add a winch, I'll likely carry a marine plow anchor. They are basically the best for all environments (sand, mud, rock) and have the best holding power and weight rating. They aren't cheap, though. I had a surprisingly small one I kept in my old Chevy's recovery kit and used it...

Yeah, saw this on FB today and that old spark lit up thinking about this thread.

Well you might move the batteries in where it's warmer in the meantime. I don't know your application here. I'm likely not the best to answer, though. I recreated the OEM setup with a temp sensor and heating element. But honestly, I don't know that I've ever run the...

What are you using for a temp sensor?

You'll get more visibility here for general troubleshooting questions. As far as the camper build, you might want to make a dedicated build thread over in the Camper Conversion forum here on SS. But there's no rule against it being in here. It's your choice.

Yeah, the disconnect gets tripped every time I exit the cab. Or else... And yeah, I killed three almost new batteries before I discovered the issue. And it's why I'm on a charger of some sort 24/7 when the truck is not in motion.

Awesome !!!!

Don't get me started about wireless issues. I was IT for 20 years and I still refuse to incorporate wireless anything when I can avoid it. Just one more thing to break or be interfered with by any one of a million factors (especially in vehicles). Anything with real-time telemetry like...

Ideally, you'd get corner weights, per axel weights, and overall weight of the truck. Then King (or whoever) can valve the front and rear shock to the specific weights. But you absolutely want to stick with a 3" body. Yes, the rear on the A0/A1/A1R are the same for a...
