Amphenol connectors can bu used for anything from discreet data acquisition connections to digital signals to high voltage/high current power distribution.
Personally, I would (and am planning to) use Amphenol bulkhead connectors. These would be very similar to the connectors mentioned by Verkstad.
The biggest advantage for any of these three connectors is you can get a truly waterproof/weatherproof cover that will protect everything when not in use.
It is COMPLETELY irrelevant for the topic of this thread, but it is not quite true that GPS accuracy at the poles is the same as in Central Park.

If you have a second fuse holder, then I would do it like this:
Starter battery -> circuit breaker -> long wire run -> disconnect switch -> isolator -> second battery -> fuse -> fuse block
If the fuse block also has a master fuse, then you will have redundancy with the inline fuse and you...
In general, you should try top place the circuit breaker as close to the source of power as is possible/practical. I would try to move the circuit breaker into the engine compartment near the battery and ahead of the battery cut off switch in the bed of the truck.
The reason for having the...
Unfortunately, I don't think it's that simple when your target is maximizing fuel economy (or even increasing it.)
Ideally, you would need some sort or performance profile where you discover at what RPM your engine operates most efficiently at given myriad parameters (vehicle weight, rolling...
If I have to have to manifold gaskets replaced, I will probably also have the Fuel Pressure Regulator the injectors replaced at the same time since I do have a hot start problem. (well, not so much a problem as a condition since it doesn't really affect normal operation.)
Took our first long road trip in the suburban last week. 1250 miles (one way) from IL to Snow Lake Manitoba for fishing. Remarkably, the truck got a little over 14 MPG! (Steady 70 MPH, A/C off, nothing on the roof but the OEM rack.)
The only problem was that after the first 9 hours when we...
I have a Surface 3....typing this reply on it!
I agree that the price is a little high for overlanding use. Plus there is one huge downside: only the LTE versions have GPS.
Expedition is Ford not Chevy or Dodge. I was replying to your specific comment about Chevy v Dodge. Personally, the only way I would drive a Ford is if you gave it to me.
If you are comparing a Chevy Suburban against a Dodge Durango (the largest SUV made by Dodge in recent history I believe), then it is no contest....Suburban 100%
