I did this with my older lawn tractor too. There are some obvious weak points where the frame and transaxle bolt together that must be addressed for the longevity of the transaxle by welding in reinforcement. I also added a front receiver hitch so I can push my trailers in exactly where I want them without the need to look over my shoulder. Again, reinforcement is key if you want the tractor to last.

Yes. As I said in the video, there are some of these items that will be specific to the current gen GM truck, but other items that are universal to many different trucks (or just a different part number for the same item for other trucks) Borla makes exhausts for just about everyone. K&N makes intakes for all kinds of stuff. The exhaust tips are for a Dodge but fit a Chevy. The bullet antenna fits any vehicle with a radio, etc...

After you install everything. Do you need to change the setting on the graph? Or it will automatically read the depth while you r driving? Cause I just installed the high speed transducer and the msi with the y cable like urs. I’m not sure if I have to go to the setting to change something or not. Hopefully you can help me out here. Thanks.
@tommysgreatoutdoors19 күн бұрын
No need to change anything on the graph. The Y cable is a physical separation of the wires to each transducer. If it’s not working as expected. 1 double check all connections. 2 verify you have the correct Y cable (there’s more than one and you may have the wrong one). 3 check the height of the transducer and adjust as needed.

Hi Tommy! Sorry for the long question. I just want to add a 12v cigarette lighter socket to my 1985 Honda Civic. My question is i saw in the fuse box diagram that i got a Clock/Cigarette lighter slot and currently it has 15amp fuse in it (im not sure why, yes i do have a digital clock on dash, but no factory cigar lighter socket installed in it. Even in the manual handbook there's no factory installed for this model. That's why i would like to install one for charging phones, or other accessories, aside from the coolness of having a cigar lighter itself). So if i will remove that 15amp fuse, and insert a Fuse tap to replace it on that slot - i understand that i should insert the original 15amp fuse that i removed earlier to the fuse tap, but then shall i put another 15amp for the cigar lighter socket? Or should be just 10amps? (i dont want to cause smoke/fire/electrical damage when im charging a phone or engaging the cigar lighter).. what is safer as the tapping fuse - 10 or 15amps? Also where should i put the cigar lighter socket's fuse, from your video - it should be on the side of the tap's prongs? Last question would be will an 18 AWG wire good for this install? Or what is better Sir? Thank you so much!
@tommysgreatoutdoors20 күн бұрын
Hello - The fuse tap has two positions. The position furthest from the wire on the tap will govern the original 15A circuit. Then add your new 10A fuse to the other open position. 18AWG at 12V should take the 10A.

By the way Sir, i understand that the Fuse tap wiring will be wired together to the 12v cigar lighter socket's positive (red) wire and the negative (black) would be screwed to the chassis ground. Now, if the 12v cigar lighter socket that i would add has already a 10amp in-line (bulb) fuse included on the red wiring - would it be ok if the fuse tap has the original 15amp blade fuse plus the 10amp additional blade fuse for the 12v cigar lighter socket? Making it one (1) 15amp blade fuse + one (1) 10amp blade fuse both inserted on the Fuse tap's head then still another one (1) 10 amp bulb fuse included on the positive wiring of the socket? Would there be lot of fuses already? What shall i do then? Thank you Sir

If your new 12v adapter has a fuse already, then it will just be double protected if you use this method. It won’t hurt anything.

@@tommysgreatoutdoors Thank you Sir. I'll wire the fuse tap to the red wire of the 12v socket, then the negative (black) wire of the 12v socket il wire to a chassis screw, then insert the original 15amp blade fuse to the holes parallel to the fuse tap prongs, then the new 10amp blade fuse to the holes parallel to the fuse tap wiring. Next Il use a 12v light meter tester to test the fuse box's positive hole. Il insert the front prong of the fuse tap (with the wire on the left) on the hole where the tester lit up. Il retain the in-line 10amp bulb fuse on the red wiring of the socket as you said double protection. Then turn the ignition ON and see if the lighter socket works. What do you think Sir? Thank you!

You need a hitch or bump step protector in the hitch. Trust me, it's well worth it. The feds mandate any frame damage on any vehicle a total loss. I lost a perfectly good Silverado to that just because some idiot hit me from behind. Total loss on the truck. Don't risk it. Get something in that hitch to cover you from a minor rear-end accidents. With the costs of trucks, these days. BnW makes a hitch or weather tech bump stop. Cheap compared to a 50k and up replacement hassle.
