    Cab vent seals

    I don't think they have seals, per se, but they get weak over time and start leaking. They're replaceable for not much money. Jay

  5. It's difficult to find a definitive answer to this, but last I heard they're only actively tracking commercial vehicles for exhaust emissions. Scuttlebutt suggests they're planning to do so in the future, but again I've heard nothing definitive. Jay
  6. Elkhart, IN has a variety of shippers that move the units around the country. If you contact them, you should be able to find someone to help. Jay
  7. The original price was $85,000, since reduced to $75,000. It's listed in a lot of places and it's hard to update them all. Currently, just the trailer is available and it's a commercial trailer. Jay
  8. Thank you for that. It's in multiple places, but linked to Facebook. I understand some don't do that. Contact me for further info at jbeachy at gmail dot com. Thanks P.S. It's 63 mph at 1500 rpm, not 1600.
  9. If doesn't matter. I think the spec is to have 50% coverage minimum of the tape. I think so.... I didn't look it up and my memory isn't what it once was.. Jay
  10. If you already have a driver's license from another state, you don't need a vehicle. You just walk in to the DMV, present your current driver's license, take your eye test and walk out with your new FL driver's license. You will need to be physically be present. Jay

    Batteries

    Just change out the starter to a gear reduction for the same results, at least for starting. Less amperage, faster starter spin, much less weight to install. Jay
  12. Based on app. 2200 miles from Leavenworth, WA to MI, I would expect to pay at least $5000 to transport this equipment. Depending on the market, it could go much higher. I have the licensing, but my company doesn't have insurance coverage for that. Jay

    Dash Warning Light

    When the truck is running, the voltage should be at least 13.2, or higher. You should be able to run diagnostics in your driver information display by using the buttons on your wiper stalk. Jay
  14. Also, it helps to use reverse to break them loose, at least in my experience. Gentle rocking is better than being really aggressive. Another good reason to exercise your truck regularly. Jay
  15. As a point of reference, my '99 Volvo has always had a 135 amp alternator, which I also use to charge my 525 a/h agm battery bank, in addition to my starting batteries. I think in the last 19 years, I've replaced it maybe (?) 3 times.. Maybe 4??? I'm completely satisfied with that kind of life and I never felt the need to get a larger alternator. Jay
  16. The newer generators have CO sensors that will shut the unit down. In an enclosed area, the sensor will do what it was designed to do and shut the generator down. CO is heavier than air, but underneath your living space is a dangerous and potentially deadly setup. Something else to consider. Jay
  17. The higher voltage would only be needed if it's going through an old style diode isolator. If it's a relay style, that passes the full voltage through. Every alternator I've replaced in the last few years has the sense wire. If you have a shop do the alternator, you med to check behind them to make sure it's properly connected. I have yet to see a shop mechanic who understood the concept. Jay
  18. This is why it's important to size the DC to DC to stay well within the parameters of your alternator. It depends on your mission. If you just need to maintain and maybe add a bit, I think the 20 amp would do fine and not tax your alternator. If you need to step it up significantly, you might want to consider a large alternator. You don't want a lithium bank to overload your alternator, hence the DC to DC charger. Jay
  19. I can provide feedback on the FL location. I advertised our fiver on this forum and other online places. After several months, we contacted PPL and were connected with a very nice lady in TX, who said she'd make sure the FL location would take care of us immediately. We couldn't contact the FL location directly. We tried for two plus weeks and made several calls to the 800 number. We never did hear from PPL FL and by that time, I would've never given them my business. We were eventually able to sell it ourselves to an incredibly nice couple. We put that potential commission in our pockets. You may have a different experience. Jay
  20. This is what I use in my Volvo windshield. Jay https://www.google.com/url?esrc=s&q=&rct=j&sa=U&url=https://www.walmart.com/ip/Auto-Drive-Universal-2-Counts-Jumbo-ASST-Colors-Twist-Sun-Shade-31-5-x-38/175503599&ved=2ahUKEwjG6PLggaCAAxULZTABHZEYDqwQFnoECAkQAg&usg=AOvVaw1tR630GbaZyAEy8NuXfx_e
