Youll be happy with everything about the 2500 8.1ltr except the mileage. If you stay off the skinny pedal youll see 12mpg if it hasnt been thrashed. The problem is the skinny pedal is so much fun to mash to the floor. The 8.1 is a beast. I have a 2001 2500 8.1 and I freakin love it. It has a...

Ive seen your videos, I dont see anything a stock truck with an added snorkel (for the water crossings)cant do. Ill just use work stuff to prove the point since it gets abused even more and I dont spend hours videoing myself doing anything. We run harder gnarlier stuff than anything ive seen...

Maybe, they look a lot bigger around then the regular bumpstops. Mine are somewhat cone shaped not completely cylindrical. They also look like they go from the frame to the axle with no space in between. Might just be the pic angle.

So you now have two sets of bags? Whats the other airbag looking thing sitting between the axle and frame rail?

Youre expecting way too much from a 145amp alternator. Your warning signals arent normal with that kind of usage. All of those batteries, two refrigerators and god knows what else. Buy the 250 amp alt. Its like any other tool or machine. If you keep running at its limits its going to fail, and...

Other than cost? No downside. An alternator only provides the amperage the vehicle pulls. So if you get the 250 amp alt but your burb only pulls 120 amps without the camper then the alt will only provide 120 amps. Most vehicles only come with an alternator sized for what they need from the...

I think you answered your own question. Your pulling more amps than your alternator can supply. If everything on your trailer is hooked to your 7 pin 12volt its too much.

Sorry that was supposed to be early 70s. I dont think they made them in the early 70s though.

Not really. Im seeing clean k1500s from that era hitting $10k pretty regularly these days. Hell I see a lot c1500s starting to hit those numbers. $14k for an uncommon very clean low mileage example that has a bit of a cult following isnt bad. If I didnt have so many projects and trying to move...

Popping the joint apart is easy if you use the right technique. You need to hold a heavy sledge (12lb or bigger) to act as a damper on the backside then ********** it with a 5lber. My truck had 200k on the original bjs when I did it. Second whack on each popped em apart.

What was the tread depth to start? Im on a tire quest for my 2500 burb. Im leaning to the 285s.

That shouldnt be an issue at all. Its very low amperage just run a switched wire to it from the dash when you run the video cable. Some backup cam systems have power running from the front in the harness and are switched on from the system itself. If yours does just cut the wire and add a manual...

I think I misunderstood what you were asking. You wanted to know what circut opened the isolator (relay) so it would charge right? Sorry about that Im not sure on that year burb.

Your aux battery should be wired with an isolator. It will allow the aux to charge but not work with the factory circuits. Any circuts you want powered by the aux should be wired directly to it bypassing the starter battery circuits. If you need to start the truck off of it just use jumper cables.

My backup cam is powered off the reverse lights. No issues at all. Thats also where the signal comes from to turn on the camera and switch my radio touchscreen to the camera.

The only issue with using anti seize is it tends to dry out and lose its lubricity. It will still stop things from corroding or seizing together but it may not allow the adjusters to spin very freely. I use high temp brake grease, just like on caliper slide pins thats exactly what its made for.

So what do yall consider S TX? SouthTXexplorers pics look like S Padre but Im not sure.

Well in other good news you have the FF 14 bolt.

Spam above.

Thats the plan for now. Passenger side is done just waiting to see if I still have a leak or burning oil smell.
