This looks like what happened. I disconnected both batteries, the aux came in at about 12.6v, same for the main. This also cleared the ESS error and it all works fine now.

I'm not so sure about that. My Aux battery came in at a whopping 3v when I tested it, same for the main, and nothing worked. As soon as I replaced the main, everything worked except the ESS. I had an issue where my TIPM board wasn't working had to be replaced and the only way to get the car...

I'm going to guess that if the Aux battery doesn't "equalize" and charge by the end of the week of driving it every day, I'll need to replace it. I wish the that battery was easier to reach. Any tips on getting to it?

Bone head move: In a rush last week I parked my truck, forgot to put it in park and just hit the "off" button (I blame it on the prius I was driving for work all day), and was out of town for the next 4 days. When I came back, totally dead. Both batteries read about 3v. ugh! I replaced the...

what size is your airstream? I've been looking at some of the older models and wondering what I can reasonable pull.

I haven't experienced any noticeable leakage on the couple of rainy days I've been in, but I haven't been in a lot rain yet. Not much rain here between April-November.

I use mine on windy and steep inclines where the auto can't decide if I should be in 2nd or 3rd.

I have the stock Falken MTs on my truck. They aren't very loud, some road buzz but not usually noticable unless loaded down and on a curve, and have held up well with many off-road and highway miles on them.

As someone who loves living in California (not many other places where you can go from the ocean to 10k feet elevation in a few hours, and every state as jacked up policies depending on your perspective), there are no laws about idling. you can idle all day if you want. sounds like there are...

so even with a faulty ESS battery, everything worked "fine"? I installed a winch this last weekend and thinks went haywire. tested the batteries and found the ESS battery was low, and my truck would not start and was doing all sorts of weird things. I disconnected the ESS battery and ran a...

I have to agree with @sroberts1519 . There are a lot factors to consider. Just because it says it can tow 7000lbs, assuming you have the tow package, doesn't mean you should get a trailer that's 7000 lbs. And that's with a stock vehicle set-up. Once you start adding lifts and larger tires, your...

I did find I had to get longer front mounting bolts. For one, Rockhard did not send me 1-3/4" bolts like on their install video anyway, they sent 1" bolts. I picked up a pair of 2" bolts to make it work. I'm curious how did you run your wires?

Got it all installed. Ran a solenoid (tried using the Warn interruptor solenoid replacement since I didn't want to buy the whole kit) and then to the Aux switches. Tested it out. Everything seemed to work fine, no problems. Turn on the Aux switch, winch worked. Turn off Aux switch, winch doesn't...

I’m getting around 16 average. If I’m watching it, about 16.5, if I’m “just driving it around”, about 15.

Since the JTR was designed to handle 35s without any extra work needing to be done, I don't really see it as "mod" per se. I'll probably throw a set on when I wear down the OEM tires. And personally, anything above 35's looks funny to me. The proportions are all off. 37s and 40s look like...

I realized I really hate washing my cars/trucks/MCs. I like it when it's done, but not really doing it. I wash my truck after some dirt driving. It's super dry and dusty this time of year, so unless I want my Sting-gray to look more like Gobi (nttatwwt), it will get a wash. But not usually...

This. I don't have a garage either, just a carport. But I do have a fenced in side yard. I was thinking of how I could hand stuff to the side of the house, but I like this idea better, then I could roll it all the way to the backyard.

looks like you did this just in time too. Just saw this on another forum. https://www.outtherecolorado.com/news/telluride-via-ferrata-closes-after-mudslides/article_ab39e6b4-d05e-11ea-8706-179f71c38bc3.html?utm_source=OneSignalPush&utm_medium=push

Some of those shots made me nervous. lol I love that you did it in a "mostly" stock vehicle. Much more interesting watching a stock truck doing this stuff then one that's all 'roided out on a lift with 40s. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the explanations. I guess I'm looking at wanting to do #4. Which means I need to get a solenoid to replace the disconnect switch provided by HF. I like the idea of hitting a switch in the cabin to activate it. Plus I have the aux switches, so might as well use them if I can in some...
