I dont think my Mega Cab weighs that much unloaded. Think aluminum parts may be in your future......

Wow. My '01 F350 4WD crew cab/7.3 diesel is 'only' 8000 pounds. What do you suspect adds so much weight to your truck? Internal shelving, ARB refrig? RTT?

New cats and added a resonator (my EMS exhaust was stupid annoying).

If you need new cats, here is the part number:

AP 608416

https://www.ebay.com/itm/AP-Exhaust...919075&hash=item1a59545c2e:g:-2EAAOSwUf5bWIqc ($57.88 each) you can probably find them cheaper... I didn't look very long for the lowest price.

Exciting new addition to the Ptarmigan....An 1800 Watt High Frequency inverter!

The cables are 2/0 run through the frame with a breaker next to the group 31 battery. The gray wire in the picture is a 110 plug to the built in charger. All I have to do now is plug the truck into 110 and it will charge the batteries.

Mike...did you send them one to rebuild with that shaft? Or do they sell them available all the time with the 105 output?

Bummer!!!

 

[MountainGoat]

Dang Mike. What happened?

 

[60wag]

Any idea what happened? It looks like oil spray on the engine with steam rising from it. Did an oil line let go?
