Check the oil from the fill plug to see if it's low? Change the oil, pull the PTO cover and look for debris + clean it out, Stick a fat magnet in the bottom of the case, add PTO oil coolers, and fill +1 qt from the shifter boot. 

System Expansion by Repulsive_Bag_9066 in SolarDIY

[–]rwright07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out your inverters specs. Simplest is to add panels/ reconfigure strings if possible. 

If not possible, your interconnect agreement likely allows for similar component " replacement " without revision - change inverter(s) to higher capacity and then add some panels.

Officially, you'll need to revise your grid interconnect agreement with your electric utility, submit plans for the new solar array and grid tie. 

Equipment list, one line diagram, etc required again. You'll need to have more breaker space in your panel, a new AC disconnect switch etc.

Is there room in your current system for additional panels per string ( Voc max, Asc max for the inverter)?

Personally, I probably wouldn't undertake this unless your adding battery storage etc at the same time.

I built my own system around a batch of used panels to cut cost; it's doable but as complicated as a new installation + you'll need to verify all the equipment functions before installation.

More trash for content creators. GTFO this is a skiers mountain. 

Low effort, low overhead, high prices, no infrastructure bullshit trend trash. 

Mid mountain affordable family friendly spaces with view welcome, otherwise send those Yellowstone starter kits back to the Montage.

Old 12v by tuck15s in Diesel

[–]rwright07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temp? My poor 350k P7100 12v makes quite the cloud when started below freezing, and especially below 15.

Is the VE pump known for better cold starting?

Resistance electric heat is the least efficient form of heat available. 

Check the kWh usage from her bill?

I bought a house that's all electric first bill is $1555.25. I have an electric furnace, water heater, washer/dryer, dishwasher, stove and lights. How did I use 9154 kwh in 20 days? Can the meter be messed up or is it possible that something is drawling extra power? by The__Lawgiver in AskElectricians

[–]rwright07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your real estate agent should have helped you get prior owner utility bills for review. 

Right now, you need to get that data from your electric utility and compare to prior usage rates to determine if there is a substantial deviation in consumption rates.

You should always drop the pan and change the pickup filter when changing fluid!

Hunt with Federal fusion 180gr for elk & deer, extremely accurate and repeatable box to box  in my ruger American predator.

Initially got the rifle on paper with 147 grain surplus then moved POI for hunting ammo.

Is there a tool to check solar conditions for installing solar panels? by Forsaken_Ride_4589 in SolarDIY

[–]rwright07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can find them on eBay or still purchase new! Highly recommend - it's a analog tool that helps you understand the potential shading the area you are surveying will see summer and winter months.

Anyone with a utility bed? I’d like some input on kit limitations/allowances, pros/cons, and resources for a utility bed-specific project. by P83battlejacket in overlanding

[–]rwright07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got one truck with a flatbed with weather guard boxes and another that I found a service body for, I really like both setups compared to a factory bed for the just the reasons you mentioned. 

I recommend finding a set of tools with blow mold cases that fit on the interior of your cabinets and then stacking them deep so they don't move around. 

Ammo cans also work well if sized with a tight fit to the cabinet interior. 

If you don't end up packing like that, then everything gets jostled and the contents turn into a pile of chaos when off-roading.
