was thinking the same thing. Wiring
Yea, that's going on the todo list, I have that and my rear 50" to order hopefully tonight. I am also going to look into what I need to do the Big 3. It may be a while before I'm able to work on it since I am also ordering a 22" light bar for the Kia and I need to find out what size I need for the other half's new 300.Dluvr22 said:I'm guessing you're already aware that you can get a second battery tray from GM to fit in the factory location in the right rear corner of the engine bay next to the A/C compressor. YOu would loose the frame bracket on that side though.
I mostly wanted this because it has been draining while sitting... It has sat for 2-3 weeks now and fired right up. I think I'll keep it on a separate system.redheadedrod said:In a word Yes.
However if you do put the switch you are talking about in place you are likely going to want to disable the secondary alternator while the jumping is in place to prevent damage to it. I am not familiar with what might happen if you connect the two like that but it should be a simple task to shut down the second alternator. (One of the wires you have to feed to it turn the alternator on and off to prevent over charging as I understand it. Depends on the alternator. )
I might be wrong about the jumping but you might want to check with someone that puts together these systems and see what they suggest. You would hate to toast your second alternator because your trying to jump yourself...

they're 20" kmc xd's I don't remember what the offset is but I do have a little rub it at full lock. The tires are 265 60 20's so they stand at 33" the truck just has a level on itreddeadg8 said:wyotonka can you provide the info on your wheels? looking for size and offset, as well as tire size and how well they fit i.e. any rubbing.
I was going to run my second battery completely separate that way. The guy that I was supposed to get the second alt from wanted me to meet him at his house out of town at like 10:30 and I was not about to do that. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure you can just upgrade your alt which I think is the route I'm going to go, along with the big 3.Dakotawilk said:plan on doing dual batterys after xmas. It got put off since insurance was like so theres a policy change and going to cost $500. Have to call and chase that down. But do I have to run two alternators for two batteries or can I just get a 250A alternator?
You don't need two alternators but you do need an isolator circuit.Dakotawilk said:But do I have to run two alternators for two batterys or can I just get a 250A alternator?
If u need something in Mt I'm driving down to CO in 2 weekswyotonka said:We have come to the conclusion that we need a snugtop, i have been watching CL for months and have seen one in MT for about 2k I have done a lot of reading and I think I could build one. I am basically wanting to build a flip pac. I have been trying to find a way to still have saddle bag access and have a couple ideas.
i have my roof tent now and love it. The flip pics are open in the backAirJunky said:Theres a Snugtop for sale in the Seattle area for $1000.

Good luck getting in & out of that tent after a few beers.
Since when does Flip Pac make a canopy for an Avalanche?wyotonka said:i have my roof tent now and love it. The flip pics are open in the back
