In Wisconsin the below is required. No inspection needed either. My truck(RV) is plated up to 80k gross. No CDL required as long as it's under 45ft (6) “Motor home" means a motor vehicle designed to provide temporary living quarters built into as an integral part of, or permanently attached to...

Yep, unable to start in -12 F (or maybe it was -14). Today it was 34 and truck started totally normally. On the alternator route, my 100amp temporarily disconnects (although I don't get a dash light) when the grid heater is running. Have dual blinking orange lights on the regulator (this is at...

Modified the bracketry for the coolant tank to move it back about 3 in. Now regardless of how much the cab flexes, the pass-through bulkhead can't come in contact with the coolant tank.

It will be attached above the air box with bellows on each side, both removable.

Not sure about winch yet, but if I do it will probably be electric. I'm sure the heater would help some, but unless I heated the batteries I don't know if it would be enough. Was considering a 24v jump pack that could be kept warm. It's a shame alternators are so dang expensive for these trucks.

Welded up the pass though box, .125" so it's heavy but strong. Trusty old Lincoln flux core welder worked great.

Year and a half ago for last post... haven't heard of anything ever coming from this.

I can almost guarantee that CAD model is very inaccurate. Even if dimensionally perfect, the details needed for an accurate FEA are very technically complicated. Unless you are an engineer doing FEA on a regular basis and understand all the factors, FEA on an assembly structure like this is...

Installed the cab passthrough door today. Went pretty well. Only concern is how close the coolant tank is, may have to relocate it depending on chassis flex.

Made some progress on the pass though. Door for the habitat side is complete (besides sealing and paint). There will be an intermediary box above the filter, then another door/bulkhead on the cab side. The door in the cab will be right behind the drivers seat and can be accessed without having...

I'm running the stock pressures except for highway, Which I have at 80. Mine is a 6x6, unknown weight but probably around 30,000 lbs. Since mine is big and has a habitat on back it's not going to be doing ultimate rock crawling stuff.

Personally I think 4 pressures are more than enough. I can't come up with a theoretical situation where having more would make a difference, as long as you have them programmed for your needs.

Curious why ad9 vs the purest version used on newer trucks? Sounds like lots of good news!

I'd really recommend getting a diagnostic interface and the Dana software(free). There is also a ton of other software for other parts of the truck you can access with same interface - getting that software other software can be problematic(expensive). If you want more detailed info you can send...

I think that's correct, I also couldn't find definitive information on the check valves. I pulled those two parts out and it wasn't totally clear if they are the check valves.

Made some good progress the last two days on the interior wood paneling and framing. The interior heats up super fast with my kerosene heater (just one of those freestanding units) and used roughly half a gallon to keep it warm for 12 hours over the past 2 days (it's been a high of 14°, starting...

Yeah,I'm beginning to think actic is a relative term and maybe my area qualifies.

Nearly new (this summer). Work fine when warm, haven't checked for equal charge. These temps are hell for batteries though. Our gas cars struggle as well.

Old thread, but I didn't find good info when I went to 2. I have 2 6tl flooded and they are not enough to start my truck-2007 A1R, with functioning ether, -12F. I will either be upgrading to 4 batteries or maybe AGM versions for more cranking amps.

Looking around at similar alternators to ours, price really isn't that different when everything taken in. Then have to deal with different mounting, the converter for 12V and then have the LBCD. If you don't need high output it can be done cheap it looks like (under $1K)
