Agreed on all counts. That being said, a larger solar charger would allow to recharge with neither a plug nor a jug... And if you're going to drag around a diesel generator to charge your electric vehicle, why not skip the intermediate steps and just leave the diesel engine in the truck? I'm...

That's the correct cable, and not a bad price really. You can't buy the components for that. If I didn't already have one, I'd be buying it.

This us the parallel cable. Different pins, much smaller. Will not work for the 60amp J1 port.

How many diesel pumps are in your woods?

They aren't specific to the Isuzu version. What they are is a 60amp 3phase plug, used in several different applications. They are hideously expensive. I have the part numbers somewhere (New phone, lost a bunch of stuff), and I'll post them if I can find them again.

Thats the 2nd one I've heard of failing.

Transfer case in low and transmission in reverse has a high probability of splitting the TC. It is explicitly warned against. Sorry I dont have the actual information you're looking for.

Unlike the original, the new one will burn your truck to the ground. I'd avoid it and find a 3 lever switch.

It's normal, unless it persists for more than a few minutes. I'm guessing that you are new to diesel equipment. They heat by compression, and how hot they get on immediate startup is a function of ambient temperature. Typically on startup they won't be warm enough to burn all the fuel. The...

Unburned fuel prior to things getting warm.

If you're going across I 40, there's @Mos68x in Seligman, AZ. I have a couple buddys with towbars in Socorro, NM, and I have 40 acres and an M818 near Holbrook AZ exit 286. I'll PM you my number. I'm nearly always reachable by text and if you run into trouble I can help you yell for help...

I would avoid California at all costs. But if you don't, I'll be in Palm Springs CA then.. I'll have general mechanics tools and appropriately gauged jumper cables with me, but no MV.

$300 or so buys a really good tarp from a truck supply place. The same kind of thing used to tarp flatbeds and dumptrucks. Edwards Canvas in OK is where I've bought them from.

I agree. The main reason I use the RV battery is that it has two sets of posts and makes connection easier.

I saw this mentioned in Slate's breakdown thread. I didn't want to hijack his urgent thread for this nonurgent discussion. I've had an unloader stick. I blew the moisture out with compressed air and then shot it with WD40. Problem solved. Remains solved some 5 years later with no further...

Someone here may have more knowledge and experience than I do, so i welcome comments... But this is what I do - I take a deep cycle RV battery with two sets of posts. I connect one set of posts to the battery charger. I use jumper cables and connect the other set of posts to the "bad" AGM...

Those are the best batteries going. You can probably resurrect the two "bad" ones. I have 2 of those in my HMMWV, dated 2011. It was the only one of my MVs to start at 17 below.

If the two "good" ones load test fine then that is exactly what I would advocate .

@Buffalobwana may still have one.

It's hit or miss whether the DMV will give you an unrestricted title in AZ. The primary variable is who you get behind the counter.
