Charge while parked, solar is the winner. You might be a good canidate for a portable solar, set the panels next to the trailer.
That storage box on the front of the trailer looks good for about 50W of solar if you want fixed panel.
Remember you don't need 100% charge capacity on solar. If you...
The 5165 are rebuildable and revalvable. But you have to send them to Bilstein and they do the work. Can you rebuild the 7100s at home? Do you have all the right tools and the Nitrogen to recharge them? If you ever need them rebuilt or revalved yo will probably be sending them in anyway.
Skip the relay. Providing the 12V charge wire on the 7-pin is switched with ignition (some GM stuff 10 years ago wasn't switched, or even hooked up as it left the factory). There is no fighting or anything else going on. Your auxiliary battery can benefit from a charge coming from both the...
Ratcheting style locker (lock right, Detroit) in the front axle. In 2WD they disappear. Don't know they exist. I could drive around with the hubs locked and not know it.
As for the ratcheting action, under power the slowest tire gets the power and the faster tire is allowed to freewheel...
The truck has been on the market for 15 years now. Don't see beds falling off like Toyota frames rusting in half.
Cracks happen all the time in all sorts of materials. Doesn't mean they have failed. Just means there is a crack. If there is a failure, it will probably be at the crack, but...
There has always been 30¢ and 40¢ ammo. People skip over the 40¢ because there was the cheaper 30¢. Now that he cheap 30¢ is sold out you are finding the cheapest is the 40¢. So it has always been there, just ignored. But now you find it as the cheapest option it is suddenly gouging? That...
New Ranger is suppose to have the same Dana axle as the JL Rubicon, last I knew those had bolted on gears. Or maybe just the front? Don't know about the front.
GM has a production engine (LS7?) that has factory titanium connecting rods.
I have heard rumors of a competition motorcycle that had a crankshaft made of Tungsten at one time. Lighter isn't always the direction you want to go.
There was once a company making aftermarket magnesium pistons...
Love my '10 Xterra Off-road with manual. Bought it new, at 126k now and keeping it. Not knowing the history the clutch is the wild card. Since you are starting with a new one you know what you have.
Mods, skip them. Stock is very capable and very reliable. Never screw with modifying...
I knew a couple people who had the supercharged models back when they were new. The got about 9 MPG. That is not a typo.
They also took premium fuel or the knock sensor would see too much rattle and open the supercharger bypass. at which point you were running a lower compression version of...
If you used the Sprinter unibearing you would need the Sprinter outer CV to match the splines. At this point you can probably just get custom shafts made to marry the GM inners to the sprinter outers. Nothing a stack of $100 bills won't fix. Now figure how tall of a stack you would need.
Pretty sure a late 80's AOD Bronco tailhousing will work just fine. May need the odd indexed bolt hole to be drilled out like the others.
That tailhousing should share the same transmission mount (or at least location) as the 2WD.
This is going off memory of working on Broncos and V8 swapping...
But the title of this thread is regarding a 2002, not a 2000. That is what the original poster was asking about. Now if you want to start your own thread about a 2000 then a timing belt would be an appropriate answer, along with the water pump that requires the timing belt to be removed in...
Well you leave us guessing at what year/make/model you are working on. Taking a guess from the other comments that this is a Ford?
Ford publishes a very nice guide for this stuff. Go to the Ford website and look up the body builder's guide for your year. For typically has a tach signal wire...
That is what the warning light is for. You were in the heat generating, convertor slipping with a bit of load zone. And running for a long time. You were building heat faster then it could be rejected and kept at it. Yes, automatic transmission will build heat doing that. If you were...
