    Inverter installed finally

    Well - one more thing - go to the Portawattz website - somewhere in there is a link to the refurbished equipment. That's how I bought mine. Looked brand new when I got it, full warranty, and it's now over 5 years old. Really good savings verse brand new. And I should mention that I ummm -...

    Inverter installed finally

    Joe - The 0/0 will be just fine. It may not fit into the inverter lugs but that's okay. Trim just enough off of the strands to get it to fit. You will want the inverter as close to the batteries as possible. Robert - West Marine carries an in-house brand that is made by...

    amsoil

    Not that high - it does get a little over 100 here sometimes 105 at the most. But - follow along with me here - I'm sure that a lot of people will disagree - but it's my thought process anyway. Outside temps. In my mind it only matters really for start-up. Once the motor is up to operating...

    Inverter installed finally

    First thing to do is to select an inverter ( I have a Portawattz ) and try to download/read the directions and specs before you buy it so you know what it is going to require. That said - I had a bracket made up and then welded to my frame, outside, passenger side as far back as I could...

    Help!

    EGR. I really don't think this is an oil issue. Do you know where your EGR is located? Stand directly in front of your motor - look at the plastic fan shroud - go about 2 to 3 inches to the left of center and look at the gray right angle connecter. Next time it does this - stop, shut the...

    Inverter installed finally

    Joe, I think your going to need either #2 or 0 with the 2500 watt number. I have a 1850/3000 watt mounted in my bed. I run four batteries - two stock and then I added to more batteries to the rail. When I ordered the truck I ordered the dual alts just for this purpose. Working great so...

    Wheel weights and Aluminum wheels question.

    Wheel weights. Is there a certain type that is supposed to be used on aluminum wheels? Reason I ask is that on my last truck (01 Dually) – when I had the stock tires replaced you really could not tell where the weights were. When I had the third set put on - the previous set of weights had...

    Need Tire Help

    Thanks Chris and All - So okay - stock tires appear to be at 32" with about 2"+/- just a tad front and back (wheels turned). Sooooo - looks like the 35s should fit. Looking at the ProComps if'n I can get the boss to spring for that much. Heck I may have to put a little in the fund. So...

    Need Tire Help

    I'm either brain dead or just plain ole confused over all of this. I've looked at so many websites - I need to learn how to drink I guess. All I want is a tire that will fill up the hole a little better - use the stock rim and not make me hack up the truck. :confused: Looks like it's the...

    Need Tire Help

    Thanks Trapper - Yep - it's an 04 King Ranch CC 4x When you say "a little trimming" - which part and where are you trimming? The KR has the lip moulding on it and I'm not looking forward to having to trim that. I can deal with a little rubbing at full turn. Also - I am keeping the...

    #%@&#%& Friday the 13th Delayed

    Nope - it didn't look like that when I left the house. Had to drive on it for about a half mile or so until I could find a place to pull into to change it. Found a three inch split in the middle of the tire so looks like I ran over something. Never saw anything so it could not have been...

    #%@&#%& Friday the 13th Delayed

    Some days it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed – Had a doctor’s appt. for an echocardiogram and an electrocardiogram. Forget to reset the alarm for a later time so I hit the snooze button. Snoozed really well – late for appt. Had not been to the doctor’s second office before – could not...

    Battery decision. Here is the info... I buy tonite

    Optima's are owned by Johnson Controls also. I'm an Optima fan - still have the first one I ever bought that was back in the early/mid 90's. That one I bought from the local Interstate distributor since they were the only ones that carried them at the time. I hadn't ever heard of them but...

    Replacement Air Filter

    How long is it going to take you to recoup that $300 bucks? And don't most of them take a special cleaner and then need to be oiled? Add that to the cost also. For you - using the $75 a pop number - you would have to travel at least 200K before you even start to see a savings. Your at 53K on...

    i scratched it

    At least it's on the roof where most will not notice. If it was mine I'd do this: compound the whole area and then use some extra fine wet/sand paper on the area's that don't come clean. After that polish it up and see how it looks. If the paint is gone down to the primer - I'd buy the paint...

    National Do Not Call List

    You could try it - but if you are getting sales calls on a cell phone then you have given the number out and pretty much implies consent to call you. If your worried about the original topic of this thread - don't be. Nobody put you on a list in 04, nor 05 and it's not going to happen in 06...
