And if you want to go beyond the product, like I do, Purulator is Made in U.S.A., owned and manufactured by Mann+Hummel, a German company with about 22,000 employees...Jawohl! lol EDIT - btw, Mann+Hummel also manufactures the Wix and Motorcraft oil filters EDIT 2 - and Mobil 1 oil filters...

I did a LOT of research on oil filters and given the design, media quality (fully synthetic) and high efficiency filtration ability down to 20-25u, the Purulator BOSS PBL34631 seems to be the best overall and that's what I am using on mine. Here are some YouTube reviews also, where they cut it...

Excellent! Thanks so much!

I did some more wire checking and the shifter has only three wires coming out: 14A, 14B and 40F. 14A & B are for the neutral switch and 40F for the LED indicator inside (I think?). No reverse lights wires. Is it a big deal to remove the shifter and add the reverse lights switch? I read...

Any feedback on the Transmission LED coming ON when the Parking Brake is engaged? Also, I keep seeing notes on the forum about the backup lights wiring and saw some saying that the USMC trucks are factory wired for it. I got under the truck to see if any wiring was removed, but didn't find...

Since I installed the battery monitoring next to the shifter and look at that area more often than before, I now noticed that the Transmission LED comes on when I engage the Parking Brake. To make things more interesting, it is also intermittent, where about 90% of times the Transmission LED...

Yes, you are right, the 200A alternator is fixed and not much it can be done about it, but because the voltage increase to work better for AGM batteries is only 300-500mV I think it can be done in a simpler way than the jack hammer :) I am still ordering some parts, like 20A diodes with...

Yes, I did buy four CTEK chargers with AGM support, tested them and kept two that are closely matched (the serial numbers were very close, most likely were built with components from the same batch). I am not planning to change anything about the alternator or regulator, this was just a...

I drove it again late last night to test the new LED headlights I installed and the battery charging voltage was higher around 14.45V-14.5V per battery. Didn't spend time to investigate, but it's possible that there may be a thermal compensation circuit because it was much colder around 1:30AM...

Thank you for saying that, I feel better now...thought it was just me....even after so many washes, everytime I move a cable, hose or something...boom there is sand pouring out, so yeah, I somewhat accepted it...but secretly I still hope to make it look very clean, like Actions's, his seems...

You read my mind, I did get a higher power one from Home Depot just for this job, now I need to get around and do it

The voltage stays about the same or it gets lower at higher RPMs: And pardon the sand, I hosed it 3-4 times and still the amount of sand left inside and everywhere else is huge. I will eventually get it all out :)

BTW, my batteries were both manufactured in October 2021 so they are not that far apart, being newer and you may see larger deviations between the front and rear battery in older ones. Given how very basic the charging system is, with no active balancing, the numbers in my case are good and...

I just ran it around 1,600rpm with the throttle lock and the front battery voltage went up a little, by about 0.1V to 0.2V which brought them closer together, but still on the low side for AGM (great voltages for flooded batteries). I will test it more while driving at higher rpms and report back.

Right now it's at idle in the garage, didn't drive it yet, but I will later today. I am hoping the voltages to get higher, I think the manual says to test it around 1,500rpm?

Well, I am one of those guys that needs to know what’s going on inside lol…if everything is automated and working correctly then is one less thing to worry about , but I feel better knowing, at least until I learn more about the truck and until I make/ install an automatic battery charging...

I built a little box with two voltmeters to check how well the two batteries are balanced. It has a disconnect switch to not draw any current when it is off. Right now they are within 24mV of each other (the truck is OFF and didn't drive it for about two days), which is not too bad, but if they...

OK, good, on the other side there is a sleeve seal like that would normally wrap around a hose or cable and it feels waxed to repel water and thought maybe there was something that was removed. Thanks!

Ok, I will remove the evaporator to check for the access panel. In the manual it said it is OK to fill the tank, but after you mentioned it, I did a search and voilà!..found this article saying to only fill the tank to 3/4...

Ok I am back in the trenches…under the truck…I fixed the fuel leaks including at the check valves and everytime I think it’s finally all good…boom…there is another leak further down the line…now it somewhere towards the top of fuel tank…it’s very small…few drops over 1/2 day and only after I...
