Tried that but couldn't get enough suction...

Suction via syringe seems like a reasonable, low cost alternative....I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion. Cheers!

Yes...followed manual procedures.

After recently draining water from the fuel filter casing I was unable to get suction on the manual prime (to purge any air in the line). Fortunately no air made it into the line and the truck ran fine. Had the local diesel mechanic take a look and he was also unable to get suction so I called...

Just did a SRW conversion to my 2007 Fg140 and have (7) rims for sale. These are stock 16" with 55,000 miles of mostly inter mountain west driving. I would rate them as "good" (spare is "excellent") condition with mileage typical scratches, dings, and minor rust to original coating. No...

Who's the manufacturer of the 19.5" wheels?

Good advice. I'll test it...

So, considering my current setup, what role does my solar charger play in my system? Just maintaining float on a fully charged battery? Based on what you're saying (which is very helpful, by the way!) it would seem I either need to add more wattage to my solar charger or rely primarily on my...

So is solar an "all or nothing" proposition? Make sure you can produce enough amps relative to battery storage size to achieve bulk absorption or don't bother?

I'm considering a pyrometer install on my 2007 FG140. Looking for recommendations, suggestions, brands, install advise, etc...

Three charging sources; 130w solar charger, shore power (Iota engineering 55amp 3 phase smart charger), and the alternator. I have relied on the solar charger because, with the exception of the stove, my power draws are minimal and have never drawn the resting voltage below 12.5v. That being...

You did but I enjoyed the ride. Cheers...

So, in the mean time, I took the advise offered from the folks at Wallus and re-routed my supply directly to the battery...bypassing the distribution panel. That did help with voltage dropping to 12.42v during start-up (ignition) instead of 12.3v. Once start up is completed it returned quickly...

Across the terminals.

Looking for some feedback from those better versed than I in battery behavior. My custom camper's 12v power system relies on two Deka 4d agm batteries with a combined 420ah of storage. Cabin heating and cooking duties are handled by a Wallus 85DU diesel cooktop and herein lies my question. The...
