Hello! Thank you very much for your videos. I'm in the middle of a swap. My base is a Jeep CJ7 (the front differential is on the passenger side) with a 5.3 LS engine and a 4L60 gearbox. Due to the side of the vehicle where the front differential is located, I chose to use an NP208 transfer case (1986 Bronco) and it uses a wire speedometer (analog type). What type of sensor should I use? I don't know how to adapt the speed sensor receiver from the wiring harness that goes to the PCM. did you have this problem? How would they solve it? thanks in advance.

I didn't see anything about the "Lodge at Cloudcroft". Neat old lodge. Has a golf course. At one time, it was the highest altitude golf course in the U.S. Not sure if that is still true. Also has a ski run up there. It's actually the best part of that area. You can sleep there and discuss the "hauntings" with the staff. LOL. Glad you enjoyed NM.

The old technology used a huge transformer internally, almost every manufacturer has moved to what is being called High Frequency but what that means in a nutshell is that instead of a single inverter and HUGE autotransformer they use a very small light weight transformer on the output of two inverter sections and reduce weight. The High Frequency uses a lot better switching electronics and switches at a much higher frequency allowing for more efficiency and high surge ratings.

2500 running watts only allows for continuous 20.8 amps. A standard RV ac unit (13500 BTU) needs about 18 amps to run. You probably don't have enough generator to run everything. What you're seeing is a overloaded generator. Should have got the 3300 watt generator. Don't size a generator at or near 100 % running capacity shoot for about 50%.

When molded case circuit breakers fail, (and they do) 10,000 degree F. sparks shoot out in all directions, and that recipe for fire is complete in your current condition for instantaneous combustion.

One of the nice things about making your own dog food is you can customize it to your dogs nutritional needs. Adding veggies like green beans and carrots to a balanced diet can help your dog feel full without adding significant calories. It's always best to consult with your vet but for an otherwise healthy dog this can be a good solution.

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer34972 ай бұрын
The cord may "Look" Shady as hell but as a licensed professional I can assure you electrically it is perfectly fine. I would not use it long term as it has no water resistance in any way but for a test the proper size wire nuts on the twisted wire connections is perfectly sound and common practice. I would venture a guess the house you are currently in has many connections made the same way. Plenty safe and perfectly capable of handling the current with no issues. Again we would not run it for anything more than a test but it is perfectly capable of handling the current and would not add to the issue of the generator not being any good.

You may note we figured out early on in the video this generator was used. It had gas in it, it had oil in it, the box was double taped. Simple fact is this particular model has a ton of online reviews showing its a lemon. The predecessor of this model was rock solid from what we can read online. Either way we are super happy with our harbor freight inverter generator, and it does what we need done so all is well that ends well. We were very shocked to see a used generator in stock in Lowes with GAS in it. You're telling me they do not check returns and just thrown them on the shelf? Morral of that story look for double tape on the box and investigate before you drive 3hrs to find its a lemon.

Could 2 Midnight Solar SPD be used, one on each 120v line of a 240v system, and the commons from each SPD combined? Cheaper way to protect the 240v common than the empshield? Wow... That doesn't even make sense to me... What I want to do is protect 3 strings of 240v micro-inverters (that combine to feed a long 240v line to the main), from any surge from the grid or from some malfunctioning appliance on that line. The 240v feed from the inverters is on common but is of course bonded to ground at the main.

As I referenced videos and the installation guide, I noticed everything I saw had units that came with a cord already attached. I noticed my unit had a cord just like yours. It caught me off guard because every diagram speaks about blue wire, yellow wire and obviously a red and a black, but they would not specify anything about what goes where. Every video and everything I saw told me that the wire should be labeled and my wires definitely were not labeled. if you could just verify matching the 123 indoor and outdoor than I think I’m completely good.
