When folks say in this thread that they “make sure everything’s torqued correctly”, how exactly are you doing this on already-installed, single-use fasteners with torque+degrees listed under the specs? I can understand how to achieve the prescribed torque+degrees when installing a new part, but...
Thank you, yea I saw that too. Perfect for someone looking to do an air hook up. I was seeing the 4xe cowl for $80 and the charge door assembly for $170, so $250ish before shipping. I think that Grimm kit is $390. I’d prob have to gut either one to fit the Anderson plug, so will prob just get...
True, I figured the 45a figure was at high pressures on that compressor and I’m only using it up to 35psi. I also figured a 50A rating is likely conservative, with some additional buffer built in. I’ve started to order the different Anderson connectors just to get an idea of physical size...
Totally see the benefit of stepping up for the compressor use, but any downsides when it comes to battery tender doing its job through thicker cables that would likely be behind the 175A connector? Looks like maybe it’s calling for 1/0awg in the 175 description (as opposed to 10/8awg behind a 50...
Yeah, turned the truck around in the garage to get access to the hood and indeed, the pure firewall distance is ~4ft, plus 20-24 inches to get to the battery from the firewall without being too tight. So six feet minimum is about right. For the fuse, I’m thinking something like this...
Didn’t see the post, but that fake grill area caught my eye also. Being black already, the black cover on the connector would be much less visible. I’ll try some google searching to see if I can find it.
Considered this as well (I have my winch relay being controlled by an Aux switch). But would that allow me to charge the battery through it when the truck is off?
That’s a good point about installing the connector in a new cowling piece bought just for this purpose. I wouldn’t care that it’s black and unpainted, but then I could reinstall the painted one if ever sell the truck.
I have seen people refer to trickle charging receptacles in the wheel...
Hello everyone,
I find that I have to open the hood for 2 frequent uses
1) plug my battery tender onto the battery when not driving for a while
2) attach my compressor to battery with alligator clips when airing back up
The way I park the truck in my garage, I can't open the hood (there is a...
I think I’ve seen some posts of people reducing or eliminating limp mode activation by messing with tire sizes in the computer. It seems that by changing the tire size, you change what the computer is considering acceptable range of wheel speeds before it decides that slippage is occurring. It’d...
Might be related: my CarPlay experience has deteriorated since I updated my iPhone 14 to iOS 18 (which I’m assuming your iPhone 16 came with). I can still connect via my wireless adapter, but trying to use apps on the screen results in “there was an error retrieving content”. My music app...
Even if you’re not seeing anything with your naked eye, try taking a picture of the sky with your phone. The camera can be more sensitive and enhance the brightness over a longer exposure. Reading up on aurora hunting a while back, I learned that it’s rarely as spectacular with the naked eye as...
I don’t personally understand dealers that don’t want to or deprioritize service on vehicles not purchased there. People move all the time (geographically), and even if your dealership sales team dropped the ball last time by forcing a customer to go somewhere else to buy the vehicle, why in the...
