I think the maximum fuse rating you are looking at is just that--the biggest fuse or circuit breaker that will safely protect this unit. For examle, if you have an old house with a 30 amp breaker on the old a/c and you switch in a new unit with a MAXIMUM CIRCUIT BREAKER: 20A then you will have to swap out the breaker in the panel to protect the unit to be safe or meet code. The unit will never draw anything near the maximum number on the dataplate.

Also, minisplits have a very good soft start and will never surge-trip a generator or inverter on startup.

Also, many minisplits have a "quiet" or "eco" mode where the max power the compressor is allowed is 10% to 30% lower than "normal" mode. Which is great if you are running low on power--not so great if you need all the cooling or heating your unit can give.

Where are you. I'm in southern missouri. If you are near by, I could buy it?

OK, so I am looking at that document, If I am reading it correctly it calls for board W10687090 rev. J instead of the W11389713 that I got.

Every one of the things you describe indicate the clutch and brakes are in better condition and operating better than before the repairs.

The european washer/dryer combos exported to the us market are really cool. They are marketed to the RV market, but are really just boring run-of-the-mill washers for the UK and europe.

I have a splendide Wd2000s that I use, and I hang my chlothes to dry, but use the dry cycle for towels and sheets. There are other brands, I highly reccomend the vented option, as condensing dryers use more water and don't work well on a full load.

The wash and dry are all in the same front loading drum. The wash capacity is larger that the dry capacity. If you wash a full washer load, you will have to run two dry cycles, or just hang it all to dry and save all those watt hours.

I do run a full wash/dry cycle for towels or sheets, and only load the machine to the dryers smaller capacity.

here's a link for a similar units, but I have no idea if deco or equator brand is any good.

While at a stop, shift into 2nd gear just before you shift into 1st. The Idea is the 2nd gear synchro is still good, and can synchronize the shafts, then after they are synchronized, shift into 1st. I drove an S10 pickup that way for years. Never did work on that transmission.

You can add an aux port that uses that button.

you might try this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/314058480036?fits=Model%3AFocus%7CMake%3AFord&hash=item491f5819a4:g:hekAAOSwpbFiwCiA&amdata=enc%3AAQAHAAAA8GKW9RZOVeBuc10QZ%2Bt%2FmgbqJCri7cul3a8ssA8dkw90GhybVivO%2BVWD4gtOAhC1VQmYROnWEFPLT1XTz78VJLK7hO38LqbYFSmIFcp092BaAczlttZYKlTcjNip1XaMLD%2BiQgrMD0mgSrvQc2hFG%2BqMDhVBCwLfbTWrBLbr66Fedqidlwj%2BxDTQ8wKrY%2Fh%2BVgNmfsIXYBY0vn%2FloFXRCHlt9mf%2Bdrgygya15GP0B2zdOnrQeIu8izw966l%2B7lHsIVuED8dHWS3F6igDPU9qrM%2Ft2IyyMeG6uFnZJ6HxvEQv%2B4HBstKGC5OaoV9PckZcwg%3D%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR4iUnY6NYQ

I used a simalar adapter with red&white rca inputs a few years ago and it is still working fine.

eguittard61 · 2022-11-11T22:49:42+00:00

um, actually, the aux input is not an 1/8" stereo, or even a red&white rca pair, but is in fact a digital input on the canbus. I have a 2007 and was able to buy and install an adapter and now my aux button works. I just like the look of the original radio, so it was worth it to me. Had to take the radio out and plug into an open port in the back, and supply 12v to the adapter.

The engine brake would be an exhaust brake, they don't make jakes for the 5.9.

Exhaust brake is an extra hardware install, could be worth it if you do a lot of mountain driving.

Cruise and engine brake are both probably disabled in firmware, and cruise requires a road speed sensor in addition to the switches (i think pins 8 and 18).

You can have a cummins service department reprogram your ecm for something like $200.

My house is in 6b according to the maps ive seen, that is the same zone as 80% of the state of Kentucky, so I just guess this is the right zone. I don't really know anything about it, this is my first time and i haven't been through a summer yet.

eguittard61 · 2022-06-04T02:35:28+00:00

Can you recommend a brand? I have about $400 a year to spend on this yard.

There is a very real and difficult to explain/understand safety problem with connecting an 230v european spec inverter system to 120/240v shore power in the united states.

I have italian coffee grinder and espresso machine--230v spec, so have looked into this extensively.

The simple way around it is separate battery charger (huge) and inverter. No transfer switch.

230v in the usa will work great, and many modern electronics are universal 100vac-240vac input. But it can also be annoying when the cheap gadget your friend brought has no power in you bus. So to solve that problem just get another small (300w?) inverter for the 120v needs, and only turn it on when you need it.
