I use a lower radiator hose heater and a block heater, both of which I purchased from NAPA.

I run a xantrex prowatt pure sine wave inverter. You need to carefully calculate what you want to draw off the inverter and size accordingly.

I have it mounted on the top of my camper which is bolted to the bed of the 1028. It feeds a bluetop optima, but is also connected to the truck through a relay.

Take a look at ulsolar as well. I have been using their 85w panel for a year with no complaints.

It's really pretty, take I70, you'll be fine.

You need to be higher. It's not the bulb; if it's lit, then it's goodish; I'll go on record on that. Let's figure this out.

Is your voltmeter reading normal?

Are your belts tight?

Perfect, thanks. Any advantage between going straight from the battery vs. to the 12v terminal block other than a lot less wire/distance?

So is the procedure to disconnect the 24v lead to the resistor, and supply the GP replay with an independent 12v line? What gauge wire do you all recommend? Also, when putting connectors on the wires to fit the 60g's, did you just use a butt connector, and what gauge wire for that? Time to...

I propose a change: If it's electrical, replace it, if it is rubber, well, ****, replace that too! I now see a big weakness that I never noticed which is the board behind the dash. It would be nice to just replace it with a couple circuits and be done with it. These trucks don't need much...

One of the cleanest CUCV's I've ever seen. That engine, interior, and body are in great shape

Over the last week or so my Gen1 light was very dimly glowing, then coming on, occasionally flashing, etc. Gen 2 started doing the same thing today. I've checked the voltage at the batteries, very good, checked voltage at the alts, also very good. Checked the voltage at the batteries while...

Also, grab as much fuel in Denver as possible, it's about $0.40 more up here. Do the same in Fruita (truck stop on S. side of hwy), as they rip you once you cross the boarder due to the long stretches you have to pull between stations. Great burgers at the Charburger on the N. side of the hwy...

You've got one pull to the top of Floyd Hill coming out of Denver, then another pull from Georgetown to the tunnel which is then flat and then a big down into Silverthorne. A much more gradual climb up to Copper, then a not so bad climb to the top of Vail pass. As for UT, you've got a pull...

I can't compare to really lower elevations because I live at 8k and usually go up from there, but pulling up to the tunnel, or up Vail pass, I'm doing about 30 in the M1028 with lots of black smoke and the foot to the floor. As for the tunnel, you'll go right through it. You would have to exit...

I80 doesn't go through Colorado, but if you are on 70 you have 2 significant passes (Loveland - bypassed through the tunnel; Vail). It's slow going in a CUCV, but very doable. If you run into any problems in Summit or Eagle county, I'd be glad to help out. Otherwise, it's a straight shot in...

I'm going to give a little more credit here. What's the over/under? 10 for search; 50 for a TM post; 100 for a, I had the same problem; 1000 for, it's unique, I've never seen that before, but thanks for posting the solution.

30 amp fuse fried?

Please post pics and parts of your install as this is one of the mods that I really need to do once I save up the cash for it. 25mph WOT without even towing at altitude sucks. The lowest I really go is 8000 ft. The 1028 is severely anemic at 10 and 11k.
