    Pulse Battery Maintainers (was Pulse Charging)

    I had 2 Chinese pulse chargers fail. When parked outside the 60A 24v solar panel keeps it topped up. I might have to tear the last pulse unit apart to see what's up. The 1st one went up in smoke lol

    AC Option?

    A commercial grade 24v 200A alternator isn't exactly cheap. I have a cheaper source than these, and love it with the Bussman Equalizer on my rig.

    WHO' S A FULL TIME LMTV OVERLANDER, ANY OUT THERE?

    Keep in mind that some of these builds you see contain a lot of "donated" components in exchange for the marketing plug on their YouTube channels.... The average guy, for example me, doesn't buy Scheel- mann seats at $3-4k a set, we buy Pacifica take-outs for $200.... Have an open mind to what...

    Problems with hydraulic manifold

    I had problems with my manifold, and documented the teardown of a valve. Its in the Facebook Military Vehicle Camper Mods page in the Brewser album. That screen is stainless, so you can't retrieve it with a magnet. I used a small pick to first rotate, then pull it out. Cleaning resolved my...

    M1088 camper conversion

    Strength. That notch, even tho boxed is a significant reduction in strength under flex.

    M1088 camper conversion

    If the pic of the notched beam is the final location with regards to the transmission mount, I would recommend a plate to restore strength to that area, just in case.

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    No crickets here my friend lol... Here's why they're not in there yet - lack of an indoor facility, that allows me to take my time doing the job. But that's been addressed now. If you do a little research on the mods I've done so far you might realize I'm not exactly afraid of tackling this...

    Have you installed 3.07 gears in your truck? Kindly step in I have something to ask

    I paid $4k for new ones.... yup... Should have bought the gears and rebuilt myself, but time sometimes gets away from me. $3500 to install? Not happening!!

    Got driveshafts balanced yet? Otherwise, it's like a grenade ready to go off at any time.

    From everything I've seen posted so far, it would appear that wear in the spline ends up being the destructive vibration. Does that wear result from being out of balance? Improper phasing? Lack of/insufficient/incorrect grease? Worn U-joints? Soft spline joint materials? I think if this was a...
