Thanks for the info. I am also installing a optima battery in the rear of my Suburban that will power the future fridge. The center console is going going to have the 12v outlets, the CB powered at this time. The 12v outlets will be powering my tv's/dvd player for the kids, handheld HAM radio...
Do you mean 2 wires or fuses? I can just ground the negative to the body correct? Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I know jack squat about wiring. I'm trying to learn more as I go.
No it doesn't yet, it was on my work bench when I took the picture. I have the 8 gauge wire, does it have to go to the battery or can it go to the dedicated "hot" terminal on my firewall?
and the way it is installed in my Suburban, it would be a pain in the butt to remove it to paint it or use roll on bed liner. My question is, is it safe to use either black crinkle finish spray paint or spray can bed liner while it's in my truck? How long should I let it air out before I drive it?
Damn, that sucks. But you have to remember most new trucks are not designed to go offroad, even the 4x4's really. Most buys just do not use them for that, so they are designed with that in mind. I'm someone makes or will make a skid plate for it.
Just thought of this, but even my wife's...
While that is true as of right now, what is that warranty going to be worth when Sears goes under? While I have no doubt the Craftsman brand will be sold off, will the new owner honor the the existing warranty?
I'm adding a bunch of 12v outlets to the center console of my Suburban. I'm also planning on installing my CB on the console also. What I am planning on doing is installing a Blue Sea busbar in my console that I will run a power to, and then power the 12v outlets and the cb from the busbar. Will...
I have a very heavy truck (old school suburban). I decided to bite the bullet and go with the Dana 60 front axle even though I am only running 35"-37" tires. The truck is really heavy in stock form, so adding so just built more heavy duty and said to hell with the weight.
Knowing my trans temp can be very useful, considering my trans in my truck is very temp sensitive (700r4). Using a tach can helps you make sure your car is tuned correctly, and help you learn to drive your vehicle more efficiently.
Thanks for the info everyone. I'm not even really worried about the weather channel. I live in California, it's not like we have much in the way of weather here besides "nice".
I have a Cobra 18 WX ST II sitting around that I am going to install in my truck. I want to wire it up to a 12v cigarette adapter to power it. The problem is, this particular CB has 3 wire to hook up, Red (power), Black (ground), and Orange (memory). I have not been able to locate a 12v adapter...
