    12V Clarification / Question

    So I can connect a 12V fuse block directly? If so, where? To rear battery pos and neg? Others have said a converter is preferable due to a battery imbalance and possibly running 2nd battery down.

    12V Clarification / Question

    I have a 200A dual voltage alternator with a voltage regulator. Do I still need to install a 24/12v converter to run a stereo and a dome light?

    Newbie Tire Change Help

    To all who are interested. Mission Accomplished. The black ring, part #12342633, worked for me. After fully tightening down the wheel bolts, its holding 30 pounds of pressure no problem. If anyone ever tightened the wheel nuts down to 125 lbs/ft - I would like to meet them and buy them a...

    The red o-ring I tried that did not seal the wheel is 3/16" part #12460338 from hummerpartsguy. The original o-ring in the wheel was black and although compressed into a triangular shape, measured 1/4" wide. I'm going to try o-ring part #12342633 which I believe is 1/4". I should get it...

    Here is what the above suggestion looks like. It seems promising but I'm not sure it will keep the wheel still as the bolts go lower. FYI - these bolts only turn 1 or 2 times by hand, even with fully greased thread. I will let you all know how it goes.

    Newbie Tire Change Help

    Thanks Doc. I feel like I read everything on tire changes on the internet including on G503. I researched it for a week and now likely have 10+ hours of my own labor into one tire change. It seems the wheels were just not designed to replace the tire - especially in the field. Without...

    Newbie Tire Change Help

    I just took apart the wheel and here are some pics. Does anything look wrong? Bolts are 1/2"-20 btw. Bolts backed off. Alignment holes. O-ring put back in place. It moved while removing outside half of wheel so I could not see any issues. Closeup of O-ring at valve cut out on run...

    I just took apart the wheel and here are some pics. Bolts backed off. Alignment holes. O-Ring in grove. O-ring came out when I took off the top so could not see any issues. Closeup of O-ring at run flat valve cut out. Last is bottom of outside half of wheel.

    Thanks for the quick reply Action. That is an excellent idea. When I was tightening in the very beginning I kept checking the o-ring alignment all the way around until my finger couldn't fit. It moves easily and likely shifted somewhere. I'll definitely do this on my second try and keep you...

    Newbie Tire Change Help

    Tire change update - need help. After finally getting the run flat into the new tire and fully reassembling the wheel - air is leaking at the alignment hole. I believe I followed the TM carefully. Prior to installing the run flat into the tire, I liberally applied the run flat grease inside...

    Newbie Tire Change Help

    Hey all. I still haven't changed the tire I need to. I was hesitant to use my 3 ton floor jack and jack stands. Will they be sufficient? What do some of you all use? Thank you.

    AC Project 1152

    Very good advice. My truck only has two toggle switches at the bottom to control heat and ac. I want to replace the faceplate but can't find one with just the two toggles at the bottom. Does anyone know this part # or where to get it? Thanks.

    AC Project 1152

    I also converted my M1152A1 to a four man configuration and was thinking about increasing the AC capacity. Are you saying you find the 2 man AC system to be sufficient? Also, exactly what would we need to increase to 4 man capacity?
