Re: 2018 Chevrolet Equinox battery dyeing
The 2018 and newer Equinox and Terrains pull a lot of power in Accy/tow mode. Your charge line might be too small. 12 gauge wire is needed. I've been fine at 5 hours tow time but had a dead battery after 8 hours. I'll always start and run my Nox at 4 hours max unless I'm nearly there.1.1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Cooling external fuel pump
One of the problems I'm observing with fuel pumps and replacement parts in general is the lack of real quality control. Even brands that used to be well regarded have outsourced their production to low cost factories that have little regard for anything beyond "it fits", maybe. So we are left with a choice between cheap garbage with no name and expensive garbage with a formerly trusted brand name and it all comes from the same place with no real choice. It failed because its garbage. Chum Lee is right, in part. Replace the in tank pump but be smart and have an external, in-line pump at the ready for when it fails. OEM means nothing anymore.673Views0likes0CommentsRe: 1996 F53 motorhome replacement radiator question
Just went thru this on my 460 F53 coach. Installed one of the eBay aluminum units. So far so good but haven't made a hard mountain pass pull with it yet. The one you link to is a Chinese clone of the Ford original but all aluminum instead of copper & brass. You'll find it listed on eBay as well. Your only choices are a custom built radiator $$$ or one of the eBay aluminum rads. Be very careful with some of the cheap replacements you find. They do not fit the F53 chassis, but are for the pickup trucks. Spectra does not make the correct replacement.382Views0likes0Comments
