Makes sense, the stress will be on the top and bottom. I’m curious also as to how well it cools, and his much poser it draws

Worst case i can take stuff with me and finish on the road now, best case i finish up and roll out with it working in the next 5 hrs (It wont be best case for sure)
Speed_Drums and Rideandrepair Thank this. -

Supposedly ideal case would be 2-3 lifepo batteries, but they dont play nice with low voltage cuttoffs. Have to do full isolation from main bank, more work than i want
As far as fast... started in earnest about noon, 2 half hr cooldown breaks and wife had to help hold one of the bolts on the lower horizontal. Feel like im moving at a snails pace.
Generator is a good idea, this is more because the truck just cant keep up when its 80 or over. so even if i have to idle during the day while it runs on a layover, i would call it worth it.

I’d like to get one to keep from idling. Worried about glazing my cylinders on the fresh overhaul. It’s got 50k now. About 40% idle time I’d guess. Trying to avoid the dreaded blow by that Old Detroit’s are known for coming back. Auxiliary unit would be good if A/C goes out. Run it going down the road if needed. Or both on real hot days. Bunk A/C can’t keep up now.

Update, poked at the inside, already had the flip down desk frame down low, had an old living room end table top, found good anchorage in the top and supported from the bottom where the desk frame is attached to the aluminum studs.
Gonna use the light hole to run the cables through, but packed everything up and gonna do that tomorrow i hope. From here on out it should just be cabling and hose management

Electric i think is 16', but thats almost perfect for how ill be running those, ive got the heavy duty crimp and lugs if i needed to change the length though, that has the split loom on it, impressed with the kit so far, we shall see if that lasts past hooking it up
