Yeah, so having separate loops would be one of the reasons to ask if there is a diagram. In any event, a no fire condition means an air problem, an exhaust restriction problem, a fuel problem, or a fire / signal problem. It sounds like fuel has been verified. Exhaust and intakes should be...

A temp gun is small, lightweight and only about $20-40. It is a very useful tool for diagnosing all sorts of things, including checking tires, bearings, brakes, oil coolers, heaters, air conditioners, radiators, etc. I highly recommend one for anyone driving a heavy truck or towing frequently...

The same heater acts as a block heater, yes? Do you have a simple diagram of where all the components are plumbed to and where the temperature sensors are? Do you have an infrared thermometer (temp gun)?

I think that the answers to many of your core questions depend on where you are going to stay. The first thing I personally would do with the rig in the pictures is fill the gaps in the sides with under-bed tool boxes. I would put a diesel heater in one box and plumb it into the main space...

It was a much better prank at $1.25 / gallon! I’m not sure I could do it at $5.50!

When I was in college, we may have participated in a prank that involved adding gas to a room mates car every night when he thought his new “tornado” would add mileage. You might want to watch your “friends” closely.

It probably has a lot to do with the overall strength and type of your habitat box, but I personally wouldn’t bolt seats to the subframe. If you go to a junkyard and look at lots of types of cars and trucks, I believe you will find the vast majority of seats and belts are bolted to a...

Hmmm…. I think you’ve found the best resource in coming here, although the “look what I built” threads are much more often becoming the “look at my list of brands” threads. You are asking for a huge list of skills, tools, and ideas to be dropped into your lap all in one neatly bundled resource…...

what vehicle? Suggest you just land a blue sea fuse panel at the end of your 8 AWG and attach the amp and fridge to it on separate fuse positions. The fridge cord should be plenty long for running on either side. No real need for a breaker if you have the fridge turned off and a fuse panel to...

I’m not sure you could see it only in temperature, at least until after the failure of gears and bearings truly happened. I did a semi-science experiment once when I accidentally left an oil pan open over a weekend and it got rained in strongly. I was left with about 4 gallons of probably...

😂 I guess that underscores the power of the internet to bring people together and remind you that you aren’t alone! This too shall pass. I’ve had a lot of really great 1-2 day trips this year, just not enough 2-3 week trips, and with 3 young kids in sports, I’m staring down the barrel of about...

That looks like everything I want to be doing… which is the polar opposite of everything I actually am doing!

Betts Truck Parts, various locations all over California, can and will make custom leaf springs and u-bolts.

My years of cold-climate living say don’t bother filling it in the winter. Unless you keep it inside the heated space of the vehicle, it is unlikely to be liquid when you need it, and you probably won’t have a way to heat it safely. If you really want it, maybe just fill to about 3/4 or...

I don’t know those specifically, but it is pretty common to access TQ bolts through the starter. Pull the starter and go through that space?

Recognizing your concerns about the cost, I would still think long and hard about trying to build my own 18x7 or 18x8 panels. Successfully buying materials, building molds or even just support tables, gluing, assembling, bagging, uniformly vacuuming, and curing the panels, with no...

Okay. They still squeak when starting to go bad. How high are you lifted?

@RKRUGER going back and re-reading a bit, it looks like you want to put an adapter on to go from a Jeep pattern to a Toyota pattern? I think that will mean an adapter on an adapter, probably not a good idea. Unless someone has messed around with wheels to give you a really deep backspace on a...

90% guess it’s your front rzeppa joint. It will get progressively louder, but I ran mine at least 10k miles between first hearing it and changing it out. I think the part was about $200 at 4 Wheel Parts and took me about an hour all-in to change. I don’t recall special tools, but a CV boot...

There is a lot to unpack there. Some questions: You hear it with windows up or down only? Only when turning? You say Front Axle CV, but there are no CV joints in the axle. Do you mean U-joints? Did you do the front driveshaft CV? (Technically rzeppa joint). I may have spelled that...
