Well...don’t know the magic behind it. It just goes. Of course it’s using the starting power to push it along in each gear at first ...aka, ‘chug chug chug vrooom’ .

Best not to do that. The overall repair bill could get pretty large.

Well luckily it’s not my daily driver. ?

Odd. My starter won’t do anything if the truck is in gear.

Not sure if you’re on Facebook but there’s a pretty big Canter group on there and they might be able to help with that question. Seems like there are a lot of owners on there with older units.

I’m pretty sure it’s an OE safety lock out. Rather than having it on the clutch pedal it’s on the transmission

There's a neutral switch on the gearbox.
The switch is off when in neutral, so I am assuming that the switch has been disconnected to allow starting when in gear.

It does include two wenches.

I do not know if that is a plus or not. Personally, the one wench I have now is enough to deal with...

320 amps of solar? Must be to power up the $30,000 worth of lights!

320 amps of solar?

At 12v that equates to about 4KW of solar.
If I use the most efficient 400W panels I can buy, I can fit up to 4 of these on my camper's roof, which would give me 1.6KW.
What panels are they using?

I would guess they meant 320 watts (error), or some people use watts and amps interchangeable (not a good thing)

Even the 'pros' make mistakes.
As you can see my Sterling Battery to Battery charger indicates I have 24 kilograms (53 pounds) of gold in my output terminal posts (kg not K or k)

I agree... but that's probably a discussion for another thread.
