    Is there a vin decoder to tell me if an LR3 has the hd package?

    No, but as previously pointed out, you can call a dealer, or get underneath it easily and look. If it has a doughnut spare it most likely does not. Some SE did have it, as well as the HSE. There's quite a few around, but the non-locker is more prevalent.

    Yes, correct, but it should not be particularly noticeable. Here is what it looks like.

    Any suggestions for a single solar panel, 12v system, 100+ watts

    Nobody here locally sells stuff like that, but it would be nice if they did. The focus here seems to be ripping off homeowners with over priced installs.

    That is not normal. Is it new? Once it hits float (fully charged) it does slightly vary the voltage and maintains it. But mine certainly does not make a sound loud enough to really notice.

    Any suggestions for a single solar panel, 12v system, 100+ watts

    I suspect that is close to the max for your size requirements. You might give them a call, or send an e-mail, the seemed quite responsive, or drop me a PM and I'll send you the contact info I have. I am not familiar with the power requirements on your heater or cpap machine. I am making an...

    interesting fault (extended)

    Could be a bad wheel height sensor. 4x4 info screen and see if there is anything odd on the display at failure time, or generally monitor it and see if some wheel is wobbly or wacky on the display.

    Any suggestions for a single solar panel, 12v system, 100+ watts

    Probably the more the better, as when conditions are lacking, you won't generate much. Generally speaking, you could "get away" with 100 but it is always nice to have more, so if the 160 will work do it. I like the grape solar folks, and their warranty is good. No hassles. There is someone from...

    Any suggestions for a single solar panel, 12v system, 100+ watts

    Depends on what you are looking for. This would be a good choice for a hard panel. Kyocera KD140GX-LFBS I'll put the specs below. My 2nd Choice would be a grape solar 100W flex panel. Max Rated Power (Pmax) 140 Watts Voltage at Max Power (Vmpp) 17.7 Volts Current at Max Power (Impp) 7.91...

    It's a nice touch that it comes with Anderson Connectors. I don't personally want to take extra chances if alone in the boonies of break something. It is what it is though, so I'm not bashing it.

    How to keep RF out of my other electronics?

    I think it is virtually impossible from what I have figured to eliminate it. It can be quite annoying if you are trying to operate while charging. You can shut off the controller though and eliminate the interference. What I would recommend, seeing as you have time is something like the...

    How to keep RF out of my other electronics?

    Great.. Ah.. What kind of solar controller do you have. MPPT will not be a problem on VHF/UHF but you can get some significant interference on HF with them. WMR and powerwerx are both great sites. The same rigrunners for example are cheaper on powerwerx. Be sure and post back your progress...

    How to keep RF out of my other electronics?

    OK, I just wanted to be clear. Did you put an SWR Meter on it, just for kicks? As close to the base of the antenna as possible, outside the vehicle. What you are attempting to do here is to prevent RF from entering the cabin. You can certainly also install near the base of the radio as well...

    How to keep RF out of my other electronics?

    Does it trip the protection circuit on the radio when the vehicle is running? You definitely want to run a separate power run direct from the battery as the other folks mentioned. You can run a temporary line and test it before installing it as well. One of the best ways is to add a few turns...

    HF Radio reccomendations

    The ATAS120a is a good compromise Antenna for the All Mode 857D. I have done plenty of decent contacts with it, even Croatia. Antenna placement is more important. While it offers a major convenience of not needing a tuner, my main concern would be having it freeze up someplace like Alaska, I am...

    HF Radio reccomendations

    No problem, just curious. They are a bit "up there" but have a great track record which is important. I'm sure there are other ones as well in extreme environments I'm not sure what antenna I would recommend. I run an ATAS 120a which does fairly well across the board (especially on the roof)...

    HF Radio reccomendations

    I am partial to the 857D as well. The remote head is a must for me. Are you planning on getting your General as well?

    You can install an Anderson connection on the power leads for a quick disconnect. That is what I did, and I always winch with the hood UP.

    LR3 BMW Trans filter and cover?

    You can order this as a kit from thectsc I believe. There was a rumor at one point they were stocking the genuine ZF ones. If you want an indy to fit it for you, call Steve at protechtx, they did mine. No problem bringing your own parts. I need to change my fluid and filter again, so if you...
