Is your rig a daily driver or does it sit a lot? A healthy lead acid generally will not vent and corrode. When it does, it's usually indicative of overcharging, or more likely, sulfation due to sitting at lower states of charge. You can put a float charger on the lead acid just the same to...

As an engineer, I hate it too. At the same time, we play the same games in the systems I build - by design, because leaving it to the masses to apply common sense is a recipe for failure.

Fair point. Though I was wondering why not an aluminum 17" wheel. The unsprung weight advantage over steel wheels is significant.

Why... Seems to be one of those upgrades that reduce performance for... vanity?

Just sanity checking why you're looking to delete AHC. There are good reasons and not so good reasons. 6100s are fine shocks but it's arguably a downgrade and introduces a host of compromises.

UCA clearance won't be an issue with that size. Your issue might be traction control fighting with low grip narrows as some have found. This full size pig needs more meat for lateral traction.

It's likely related to the temp compensating alternator voltage dropping when warm, combined with any voltage drop in the wires, and perhaps the settings? What is the input voltage reported by the Victron when you see the current drop?

That Odyssey is a beast of a batt at 82 lbs :eek: When you get that new batt in, depending on if you do much slow speed rock crawling in heat, might be a good idea to put a heat sheild on the side closest to the radiator...

The setup and ease of deploying, including weight of the jack, is going to directly affect how often it's used. I find that a couple floor jacks and jack stands to be more agile. Plus it keeps access from the sides, whereas the scissor jacks block that access.

It wouldn't be hard to find a higher CFM spec form fit function replacement fan if someone's interested in chasing that strategy

Bummer. I was looking forward to this. There seems to be many configurations available. I have the older vertical 13.6" unit and while it's generally been great, was hoping for a brighter screen option.

If I remember correction, you did head gaskets with the motor in situ? Impressed. :beer:

Yes sir. Easiest thing to do to keep her happy and healthy.

Nawh. But without a weight distribution hitch or leveling capability (like AHC), squatting is to be expected.

Pretty clean for 200k. Barely any varnish and wear on the cams. Re-sealing the covers is not the most fun job and and hard on the back.
