    On Board Welders?

    This thread turned up some cool links. The zena system looks pretty interesting. Engine on the 150amp model is rated at 8hp, just under 6000 watts. It looks like this is at 7000rpm. 65 # is not too far off from what the op was looking for. Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    On Board Welders?

    One horsepower is 745 watts. Amps times volts equals watts (power). Welders use lots of amps and low volts. No weed Wacker engine is going to power a welder capable of doing any expo emergency work( frames ect) Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    Is my battery really draining, and how?

    I may have misread, but one amp drawn for one hour is one amp/hour. 24 hrs per day times 10 days equals 240 hours. So your 1 amp parasitic load for 10 days is 240 amp/hours Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk 2

    2014 Ram Powerwagon

    My local dealer has a 3500 SRW listed with the 5.7 Hemi, not the 6.4 I assumed it was a typo, the chart above indicates you can order either Hemi? (at least in Canada) Seems weird that they would keep production of two gassers so close in size, maybe depends on build date??

    Watches - ExPo Style

    I like the offset crown on that pilot, I have Citizen eco drive that I like the looks of, but I have almost seriously damaged small bones in the back of my hand when I forgot and put all my weight on my left hand, with my wrist bent back. It has a metal band and the combo of the the large crown...

    Building homemade truck bed camper for my chevy colorado

    I should have been more clear. The upper part of an Alaskan is framed with 2x2s, the lower half is all plywood. 3/4" front wall and floor, the rest is 1/2". My point is that even with this lighter build method than yours, a 8' cab over is around 1700lbs dry, but that does include a full interior...

    80 Amp Hour battery enough?

    Before you start adding more amps and volts, I would try and see if you have a problem, loose connection or short. Your issue should be how long it can run, not getting it to run at all. Check the battery with a meter or a headlight ect and make sure it's good first and go from there, does...
