    M928A1....to scrap or not to scrap...that is the question.

    I have a spare truck that I took the winch and hard top off. It needs a head gasket and trans work. I'm pulling off all the spare parts I may need then selling the axles/tires. Then scrapping the rest. Its not worth it to fix when you can buy one for so cheap. The amount of hours and parts...

    300 W solar panel on truck roof for dual battery system

    I haven't seen any talk on my search about larger panels on trucks. I want to put a 300W (24v) panel on my 5 ton roof (M923). Then run that to a charge controller (20 amp) to a second set of deep cycle batteries. Then have an isolator (200 amp relay/solenoid) between the 2 sets of batteries...
