The "cigarette plug" - passenger side kick panel

Attached wiring schematics (this one is modified to be text searchable). The TMs are significantly more of a pain as you can't just read through the pages the same way you can the PDF TMs from earlier models. As stated above, post your question and someone likely can help. If you really want to...

Any concerns about welding weakening the frame? This is a common thing people bring up, but from drilling holes it doesn't seem like the frame is a really high tensile steel.

Figured it was just unplugged, but nope. Also checked power at the fuse and nothing. This is an a1r. Power is going into the pdp so it seems strange power is not at the fuse input, and the TMs indicate nothing else in the way of the distribution. Before I try opening the pdp and breaking aging...

I use red n tacky, it has a drop point of 540 and bigger numbers are better right? Nlgi #2. I'm no lubrication engineer but suspect as long as grit, water, salt etc are kept out and pretty much any brand of grease is in there, probably good to go for pretty much any use case.

That's correct.

Thank you for the educated info. When I started reading into RV solar systems (have a victron system) it was amazing the number of uneducated, unscientific group think is out there. The whole ferrule, lugs, crimping discussions are other areas of claims with no data.

Run away. These kinds of things are a bad idea. Not positive about 3126, but c7 you can load a map up to 370hp.

Agreed, looks in decent shape (no telling about inside though)

You can't (shouldn't really) try to replace the studs. They are epoxied in and custom (stepped with different threads. I got a new one on ebay and some others have had good luck with the seller. Just search for 76761-N2003 and you'll see the $200 listing.

I'm almost positive its 40F, I saw this documented in the manuals some where but can't find it right now. I'm in WI and got to experience this a lot last winter as well. It certainly works well too, when it gets cold enough to use ether the truck starts up very quickly.

I found a screwdriver worked great. You need to know what you're doing and work the seal in but it worked better than the seal driver I had (don't have a press)

I saw that ...now I'm looking at making some drive shaft hoops.

I would keep it. The ether in the A1r is used at about 40f and below. Your truck will not turn on the grid heater prior to truck start when it is planning to use ether. So even with a block heater....good luck. I would do whatever you can to keep it as we don't have manual control of ether/grid...

Glad I maxed out the storage boxes. Tow bar pieces just barely fit.

Got a tow bar, may try to flat tow an Xterra behind truck. Found documents saying this was the only "approved bar". Wanted the aluminum ibis one but saw too many failures. Had to grind a little material off for the adapters to fit... guessing that's why they were sold to civilian market.

My vent line was also open and folded over. 07 A1R What about the two lines after the water separator and before the return?

I've never seen a spec for flatness? I really dislike the engineering design of this part...should be separated.

Really wonder how much of an issue this is with the cooler decking. The bolts supply enormous amount of force to flatten that piece. Seems a tightening method starting with the center bolts would be the smartest considering how these things flex. Also why do they flex where there are inherent...

I have a 370hp spare ECM loaded with all my injectors, trims just haven't tried it yet. Worked on the doors, lubricated the hinges and the spring stop slide things. Too the panels off and lubricated everything in there. Took the door lock to the local Ace hardware but they couldn't cut a key...
