When I had to do the HVAC repair on my s10 I found it easiest to flip around upside down with my feet over the head rests and my head under the dash. I got some looks from the neighbor lady who was trying to figure out what I was doing, lol.

I'm thinking about what it's going to take to ditch the generator. We part time "work camp" and like to boondock between destinations, no more than a week between hookups. So far we haven't had any problems going 2 days but I don't know how long we could have gone because I had no battery...

I didn't see it on the drivers side shock so I wasn't sure.

Is your passenger side shock leaking?

Lower your rtt and put the stock tires back on and you might get 1 mpg better, lol. Doing a leveling kit isn’t going to help. I’ve got the same truck, best mpg 14.5 all highway at 55mph. I don’t worry about it, my old 4x4 s10’s didn’t get much better.

Those little mistakes suck. I once rebuilt a 700r4 transmission for a friend. We got it back in the truck and forgot to set that pesky TV cable. The trans burnt itself up in a week. I didn't like rebuilding the trans a second time but I was starting to get pretty good at it by that point.

Finally got the ground terminal changed and everything fits a little better now. Wires where 2guage and 10-12? gauge. I used a hydraulic crimper I bought off amazon, I wasn’t comfortable using my hammer crimper for this critical job. Getting that marine style terminal on and tightened up was...

Battery voltage this morning after sitting for 12 hours was 12.6v. I’m gonna say I’m finally done with the battery swap.

But you can't get a 6.2l in a HD, 2019 or 2020?

The new 6.6l in GM trucks is just a bigger(and detuned) version of the 6.2 liter they've been making for years. I wouldn't expect the 6.6 to have any problems the 6.2 isn't having. Probably less prone to problems since it's only offered in HD trucks and therfore it doesn't have displacement on...

Can you fit enough solar to keep up with that battery and inverter?

I didn't think changing my battery was going to turn into such a prolonged ordeal. I've switched the battery out so many times I could do it in my sleep by now. My wife is probably starting to wonder at his point. Good news is I looked up the RPO codes in my glovebox and I have the plow package...

The cig lighter meter was reading .1-.2v lower than the fluke at the battery. The 12.2 voltage was read before I installed it, the first morning after I installed it, the second morning after I installed it, and the third morning after I installed it. Each day I drove 45min to work and 45 min...

I’m getting my voltage reading from a fluke meter at the battery and also one of those little things that plugs into the cig lighter socket. This is with the battery connected nothing turned on, no hood light. The sticker on the battery says 6/19. I wouldn’t have thought a battery would go bad...

Last week I put a new battery in my truck. You can read about that here if you like. https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/07-13-chevy-nnbs-battery-upgrade-h6-to-h8.208710/ The old battery was only two years old and was usually fine but it's undersized and it won't start my truck in the...

If you want to stick with a f150 you could find one with the HDPP(heavy duty payload package).

I I forgot to mention that this is for a 2500hd gas engine, but I think the 1500 is the same.

How did you do your dual battery setup? What kind of battery did you use?

Maybe OP could fit a bigger battery in the stock location like this. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/07-13-chevy-nnbs-battery-upgrade-h6-to-h8.208710/

I couldn't find any info online about upgrading the battery so, this is what I came up with. With the NNBS(07-13?) trucks no matter what gas engine you have, 4.3 to 6.2 your battery choices are either a 615CCA or 730CCA H6(group 48). My truck came with a one year old 615CCA battery that...
