    88 degree front work on a Dodge Megacab specifically?

    Got a slider and never have used it. But the secret is to NEVER put yourself in anything that even remotely looks like you are going to get in a bind. If you are using the full 88 degrees, your tires are going to be taking a lot of punishment.

    Be cautious at REST AREAs

    Take it from a former LEO. NEVER consent to a search without warrant, and never speak to a man with a badge who is asking you about an incident, without your attorney present. I know the "if you have nothing to hide" argument, but that is BS. If you are being questioned, and it is more than...

    Guns, Liberals, Conservatives, and Southern Conservative

    Your satire is excellent, but what is sad is that the scenario about the bad guy is more real than satire. You don't have to be walking down a dark street to be confronted by these people. They are omnipresent, it is their opportunity that comes and goes. Then there are people that wig out at...

    Guns, Liberals, Conservatives, and Southern Conservative

    Y'all (/jɔːl/ yawl) (sometimes ya'll or yall) is a contraction of you and all (sometimes combined as you-all). It is used as a second-person pronoun. The exclusive usage of y'all as a plural pronoun is a subject of perennial discussion. In New York, yous guys = y'all. In Spanish it is ustedes.

    Experience with EZ Lube axle lubrication

    It takes a lot of grease to fill that hub. If you look at the amount that can be squeezed through the zerk you can see how many strokes it might take to fill it if it is empty. Someone said that old grease never came out!!!! I had a similar problem, but did eventually identify some old grease...

    Be cautious at REST AREAs

    RV=Big red X=rob me!!! Interstate hwy is populated by criminals and many do not know it. LEOs know. But people dont. If you don't have some kind of weapon, get one! I prefer "bear spray". But I also keep 12 ga handy. My 1911's in 45 and 40sw are just too difficult to carry outside the Republic...

    Adding Solar to my RW

    I have an auto gen start for my onan. Onan has a accessory for auto genstart but Xantrex also has a auto gen start for the inverter. I have it set to start the generator anytime my inverter cannot handle the load demand. It also starts when the batts become discharged, or if shore power is...

    Adding Solar to my RW

    IMHO, You are not going to get any satisfaction from trying to run your A/C on inverted power. BUT, what is happening to you is that when the load from the AC is on it demands more voltage from the batts than they can provide. Even Though they are fully charged to 12.7 plus, they may only be...

    Fridge / Battery Experiment

    Many batteries are ruined by unregulated solar maintainers that charge hot batts. A regulated solar charger should have a temperature sensor. - - - Updated - - - http://www.amazon.com/Unisolar-Flexible-Solar-Panel-Laminate/dp/B006EP6MCU Probably one of the best panels for the money.

    Fridge / Battery Experiment

    Battery life suffers exponentially based on the discharge. Deeper discharges dramatically lowers battery life. But shallow discharges exponentially raise battery life. The manufacturers of Deep cycle batts have determined that 50% is the most efficient number for life vs $$. You will not ruin...

    Two Batteries in Parallel Questions

    It has thermal protection to protect the charger/converter, not the battery. - - - Updated - - - What amp hour capacity is the OP wanting to install? You guys are talking in the 800 to 900 amp hour range, I run a BC3650 RL with a Xantrex 3012 inverter charger and 544 watts of solar. I would...

    Trojan T105 FLA, $150 delivered to your home in Tucson or Phoenix Az. AZ, I strongly suggest you use FLA batts that you can maintain, you also need a good regulated charging system, that takes the temperature of the batt into consideration while charging it. Perhaps your converter charger has...

    Two Batteries in Parallel Questions

    A single battery in a bank can be replaced with an identical battery if the system is less than a year old without significantly affecting the system. Whether one should do it or not, is a choice one has to make at the time.

    Rear ended

    In Texas you can demand that the officer impound the uninsured vehicle until the debt is paid. Just another little unknown fact about Texas insurance laws. If you are hurt, he also loses his license.

    Help: Front Jacks Not Working

    You probably have a chassis ground, most of those pumps ground to the chassis through the pump/motor housing. Running a dedicated ground from the pump/motor housing to your negative buss bar near your battery might relieve your problem. Bad ground are responsible for most DC electrical problems...

    Two Batteries in Parallel Questions

    "Au-Contraire"? LOL. That is an awkward statement, since I was not comparing Pb to Li. Lithium ion would be the best, but like I said "there are only x amount of amp hours that can be produced from X amount of lead, no matter the configuration." All I have to say about Li-ion is do the math and...
