    I have a flexpod by the steering wheel. Have a Prosport manual boost gauge and Speedhut AFR gauge. I got the SC used, and those came with it.

    Ive had that pod thing there for a while. Almost had the SC for a year, and no gauges. (picture was showing 124 miles to half a tank of gas. A great new record!)

    Nice! I dig how clean the flexpod looks, so im probably going that route. Thats about what i get for gas mileage too.. except im completely stock with stock sized tires lol.. 13mpg isnt too bad, im just glad its in the double digits. Been driving it balls to the walls:burnrubber:

    I take it very easy.. 35s, extra weight, and regeared to 4.56. I guess 13 isnt bad for all of that.

    Seems pretty good for all the weight, lift, and big tires. I'm surprised youre not in the single digits tbh..

    You need to start switching things to aluminum or titanium!

    Ok @Arcticelf here it is.KIMG0599.jpg KIMG0600.jpg
    My problem is the brown wire to the start key switch or starter solenoid. I want to use the switch so I don't have to worry about corrosion. But where is the wire off of the start key switch? And how do I know if it's positive only?? Also which fuse should I run off of both batteries, and how do I get another fuse box in here???
    Sorry but I really do suck when it comes to electronics in a vehicle...u should see how many times I electrocute myself in the house!

    Okay, so I hooked the brown wire to the ingnition wire in the fuze/relay box under the hood. I'll post a picture when I get home from work.

    It's pretty obvious which wire you need looking at the harness, it's bigger than all the others and distinctively marked (again, pictures later).

    I did not put fuzes on either battery connection, so that I can use the ACR to "self jump" if my starting battery goes dead. I also didn't include the battery isolation switches.

    Here is what mine looks like.

    I have the ACR between the two batteries on the "hot" side. Then a circuit breaker between the house battery and the distribution fuze pannels I added. I put one behind the seats with the batteries, and one under the hood in a NEMA box.

    Our trucks starter is positive only, so it's ready to hook up as marked.
