I was hoping it was a straight 6. That is a nice Jeep. I love my 95 Grand Cherokee. I was looking at one of those bumpers for mine. I lucked out I got a straight six Jeep and a straight 6 Dodge.

I love Cutterup Rob. He runs a great channel. I came here from your fuel filter video. Be glad you have the 5 speed. The automatics are dookie. I have a 97 3500 5 speed I plan on dying with. My clutch is at least 20 years old. It sucks the engine went but I would rather spend $10,000 replacing the powertrain than buy a fancy new truck. I'm glad you got it all back together and it's running good.

We now have one of each lol as we bought a spare truck that is a 98 12 valve long bed extended cab. We did replace the clutch when we put the motor in as the old one was about 20 years old, It plowed snow a lot and hauled the camper a lot but the old southbend was still better than 75% and the flywheel had hardly any indication of heating. We love these old trucks, they can get on Ryans nerves from time to time but at least we know how to work on them and we are not buying DEF

Love being able to monitor the Rosie and Hawks Bay! Thanks for the quick overview on setting up Solar Assistant and other MidNite postings. I would just add as of this week when I set mine up you have to go to the Solar Assistant "change log" and download/ update the firmware of the raspberry pi to a Beta version to see the MidNite products. Might have been said but I missed that part. Next, would love to see what my Classic is doing. Is there any work around or way to add extra consumption CTs to get data from the Classic?

It is pretty simple to do, the one thing I found was to get it right they seem looser than I would expect on installation the 2 clicks ish in that is. To tight and it starts hard (IE you need to give a little throttle). A little diligent fiddling and you can get it to start easy with no throttle.

Great explanation of how to time a 12 valve. One of the best Ive seen as well. One question though, I have seen others time past then go back or something to get the gear lash tight. Is this necessary or is it only worth a half of degree or so?
@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 Ай бұрын
The process shown is only going to be "Close" anyhow so I dont worry about it as a 1/2 a degree isnt a big issue for me. I do have the dial indicator and tools to time it precise by taking out the #1 delivery valve and may try making a video on that at some point as well

So, we're also in Maine, Pembroke to be exact, and we're trying to put up a 24' X 16' greenhouse kit. Like Legos, right? Yeah, welcome to Maine. First step: drive the four 10' 6" X 1⅜" steel corner post poles 24" into the ground. Yup, we had about 6 inches to go with the first one, using a ladder and an 18 lbs. kinetic post driver, before we hit ledge. When we tried the second pole, we got about 5" and that was all she was going to take. Knowing that our 28 acre property was pretty much all shallow ledge, we figured paying someone to get these poles and all future posts in was not something we wanted to have to hire out, delaying whatever project for weeks or months (serious), we decided to add to our tool collection. Dudes, I thought my new cordless DeWalt 800 ft/ lbs impact wrench was gangsta, but wholly cow this thing!! We got the corded version, often my preference with high draw electric tools, which only cost us $460 at HD, and then just over $400 with my military discount! I was honestly a little worried we were going to be disappointed based on all the videos online which all seemed to focus on concrete drilling. You can imagine my delight when I came across this video, which not only talks about using it for drilling through rock, but drilling through the same type of ledge rock in the same state of Maine! I ended up picking up a Milwaukee SDS MAX 1½" x 23" 4-cutter solid carbide drill bit made for concrete with rebar. I figured if it can cut through steel rebar, brittle ledge stone shouldn't be too much of a problem. Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I really appreciated the video, and will be subscribing for more!!

Stick with Honda or Yamaha. I've had a Yamaha 2000 watt and a 3000 iSEB. The 3000 I had in Maine and it would start every time in sub-freezing temps. Had electric start. No pulling. You get what you pay for. I like his rigged electrical connection between his 30 amp plug and the grounded plug. Only buy an inverter if it already has a 30 amp plug input. A 2000 watt unit is NOT going to run these 13.5k btu AC's. I will run a 5000 or 8000 window unit in small campers with no problem. Might have to install a hard start kit.

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 2 ай бұрын
Sounds like it was previously set up for maybe 48v, You will want to do a factory restore ad set it up correctly. Turn off the PV and battery power and wait for it to go dark. Now hold the left and right arrows and apply battery power only. Keep holding the arrows for about 5 seconds after the display lights. You should then get the screens asking for battery type and settings etc

@aroundthehomesteadwithsuer3497 I tried factory reset and it worked I guess. It's still won't let me drop the max voltage below 28.9v for float. I'm trying to set up for my power queen battery that shows it 100% at 27v. I believe midnite hasn't ruled in real lithium charging if you can't actually control the voltages. Also I connected my whizbang jr. And it shows my battery at 100% at 26.4 but it should only be at 60 or 70 percent from storage. I'm feeling like agm was the way to go. Yes I'm going by the parameters power queen has suggested for the battery. I'll keep trying to figure it out. I'm calling support today for a full rundown to make sure the kid isn't faulty. Also after auditing my whole system and checking all connections, when I trip my breakers for my pv array the kid still shows incoming voltage at 23.4v but no amps and says resting. My dad has one wired the same way and his never did that. I'm on the stress train lol.

I have never run a repeater and have obtained one from an estate of an SK. The station was disassembled before I arrived. How can I identify which duplexer bank is the transmit and which is the receive. I.E. high pass and low pass? if I hook them up incorrectly logic says I can't burn either out but I want to be safe. Also, How much power can the filters handle? The station had a 250 watt 2 meter amplifier but I don't think it was being used at the SKs last years. Thank you, great video.

Honestly if I was in your shoes I would find an Elmer close by that will assist in setting up the repeater. You have a ton of moving parts to setting up a repeater and at that power level its a lot harder vs say 10-25 watts. Check with the local radio club some one will be more than happy to assist I am sure

I guess my theory is, either is going to leak fuel out and the filter is already loose. Mucking with the feed line just chances a gasket leaking or cracked fuel line.
