    It may not be very fast, but it still gets 17.5 miles per gallon.

    Did you change your speedo gear? I did and it's off by 4mph. And I'm getting like 14mpg. Do you drive faster than 65mph?

    Yes I changed my gear and it is about 3 mph off. And yes, I might drive faster than 65 mph.

    My GM alternator went out today. It worked out seeing how I wanted to replace my oil cooler lines.
    So down came the front skid plate, drained the radiator again, pulled the alternator, replaced the oil cooler lines and reinstalled the new alternator.

    I got tired of my flimsy ladder getting in the back of my camper shell, so I fabricated some steps. I still need to sand blast them and paint them, but so far so good.

    So what are we looking at here? D/c to d/c charger controller? Or is it a smart charger?
