3/8 hose is overkill on a Viair 300P (I have one). I now have OBA on my truck, and I carry a pair of 25', quality, 1/4" polyurethane hoses (FlexEel, but there are lots of others including the Husky from Home Depot). The hoses are compact, easy to coil and store and will move more air than the...

Yours is not a Power Wagon, but close enough. Here is a link to lots of shock info on the PW site, and if you do a search there you will much shock and suspension discussion in other threads, including from a few guys with CTDs...

Plastic tank? Don't do it. I thought long and hard about pressuring my custom PVC tank (Sch 40 or Class 200) with about 5-10psi of air on a regulator. Did some research and realized that compressed air contains a whole lot more energy than does compressed water. Why? Water is a liquid...

I have a Whynter running on AC under the bar, and it sounds like that just sitting on a tile floor. I think they are louder than the current Indels and ARBs because of all the sheet metal vs plastic.

Solution depends on whether you want to use your current compressor or get a new one. The ARB portables come with a pressure switch. The old (discontinued) big Warn compressors came with a pressure switch. I'm pretty sure that some of the current Viairs come with a pressure switch. Probably...

Not for all batteries. An Odyssey AGM should be at 12.85OCV or higher to be at 100%. Optimas should be at 13.1 or 13.2, depending on whether it's a starting battery or a dual purpose battery. Others will vary. Battery Lives Matter.

Solution will depend partially on which AGM you have.

If you get serious about a big pickup, look around for a Dodge/Ram MegaCab. The early ones are probably getting down to a reasonable price level now. If you go with a Sub, try to get a 2500 or 3500, much better than the 1500 and ride is almost as nice. On any GM product, look for one with the...

Actually, as an example, a pair of Odyssey 1500 G34s gives you more ah than an Odyssey 2150 Extreme G31. The 2150 is rated at 100ah, vs the 1500 at 68ahx2=136ah. Plus, a pair of G34s gives you some redundancy and the ability to isolate or combine the batteries when appropriate. If you can fit...

The Recruit is a toy. The Power Wagon is a tool.

And if you order the graphics package, the seats will be embroidered " Mall Crawler".

My rivnut setter is a manual, similar to the one shown above, and it is a major PITA to set nuts at strange angles or in tight spaces. I recently bought a pneumatic rivet setter (for blind rivets) because I had to do a bunch of them on a project. It is wonderful! If I ever have to do any more...

Are the Odysseys and Northstars better than the Optimas? Absolutely yes. Are they enough better to justify the price differential? Generally not, and that is why I bought Optimas for my house batteries. However, I now wish that I had laid out the extra bucks for a pair of Odyssey 34s instead...

I just looked at the spec sheets, and external dimensions are a little larger for the Duo compared to the Sunsaver. Sunsaver maxes at 20amps, Duo at 25amps.

When you clean up that rust, use a rust converter or something like POR 15 before you prime and paint. If you don't convert the rust, any remaining specks will continue to eat steel under the new paint. Rust never sleeps.

Nope. I have had live t-cons with pre-sales support and with tech support, but nothing yet directly with engineering types. There seems to be some level of confusion, or at least uncertainty, about these temp limits. They could not explain why the regular Sunsaver is good to 140F, but the...

Well, isn't that interesting? I asked Morningstar about that exact scenario this morning, and the guy said no way. Maybe their techs aren't all that techy. Will investigate. Thanks.

Mine is an Indel B 50, mounted in the back seat of my white truck, in an insulated Waeco transit bag, behind tinted glass, powered by two new G34 Optima Marine Dual Purpose house batteries, driven by a 270 amp alternator on 3/0 cable. In the late summer in the So Cal and AZ deserts, I get less...

That won't happen in hot weather.

Re the operating temperature of the Morningstar Sunsaver Duo, here is the response I received today from Morningstar Tech Support: So, it should work except when I am out in the desert running the fridge, which is when I'd really like it to work. I'll probably try it, because even a few extra...
