What about passing an insulated metal stud through and using ring terminals to just connect the wires on the outside when needed? You can also buy pre-made wiring bulkhead connectors or flanges that can be capped with threaded pipe fittings.

When I bought mine, they were per pair. I bought a pair of locking and a pair of open and then used one of each, selling the other pair here. It was at least 5 years ago, maybe more, so I don’t recall the source. looking currently at the Accuride website, 9308-E5 is a pair with 1 locking and...

You seem to have hit on it yourself, but I would change the panels to series and I’m guessing that will make a difference. When I chose my Victron MPPT (75/15). I read the stuff about needing 5 excess volts to initiate. I have 2 panels at 100W each, and it is fairly common for the combination...

Accuride. Years in, no issues. Not sure of the series, maybe 9300?

You can change the thermistors in them. I’ve never done it, but it sounds pretty easy. I would verify it against a second thermometer first. Not that this will change cycle times, but I would also make sure the coils and compressor compartment are completely clean.

Do you have an actual thermometer in it, or are you just going off the display temp? A good first step would be knowing if the display is accurate.

Am I the only one who thought the right answer was roll it down the hill and bury it?

I went through a couple of different ideas, ramp, ladder used as ramp, hoisted to an a-frame…. Then I hit on the best one… Leave it attached and park outside!

I’ve considered but not tried because I’m worried about glare while driving.

Trying to increase complexity and ensure nobody finds your key…. Hmmm… Maybe put your key inside your spare tire? Then all you have to do is remove your spare, break the bead, get the key, reseat the bead, fill the tire, and remount it to get into your car! On the plus side, this key system...

Pickle fork and a small hammer (2-3 lb hammer). c-frame ball joint press

Is Outhouse actually in the name or did you add something? That seems like a marketing choice that might haunt them someday. The cliches about quality almost write themselves!

Good luck. I would start by pushing on each coil and seeing if you get any that “click” down onto the plugs.

What does “no one here will touch it” mean? Where is “here”? Are you looking for a mechanic? Ask at the local parts store?

I wear a surveyor vest with more crap than I should carry in the factory too. I’ve looked into various “tactical”/Molle vests in the past as I wanted the flexibility of all the worlds pouches but I needed the hi-visibility ratings.

I knew someone who hid a momentary contact button wired to the unlocking relay. I don’t know if he ever needed it in a real situation but I’ve been in locked out or close situations a time or two. Once the dog jumped on the lock button, another a friend locked the truck as we got out...

Even the AIR is trying to get out of Kansas as fast as possible.

I personally had great experience with my 6.2 truck. I started on an engine “refresh” at about 350k miles. It ran great but I had found a good deal on a banks sidewinder kit and wanted to check everything. It turns out I had 6 cracked valves, valve marks in every piston, cracked heads on both...

So for “build” ideas you probably aren’t really looking for engine/drivetrain/ suspension upgrades? I can’t recall exactly, but wasn’t 04 a changeover year for leaf vs coil front ends? My 05 truck was coil by then, the 03 guy at work is leaf.

Which year / which suspension / which diesel?
