  1. Dash Cams

    Yes you can flip vertically and horizontally.
  2. Dash Cams

    Mine is mounted on the cab which gives a great view back and sides. It does have a long cable that would reach the license plate. Mine is in the headliner and exits through the brake light.
  3. Dash Cams

    It has straps that hold it to the mirror. They are rubber and hold it very tight. My previous vehicles had them for multiple years and they never moved.
  4. Maximizing Battery Life

    Wheel HP is real HP! And it adds more than a damper.
  5. Dash Cams

    This one has the front camera mounted on the unit and a remote rear. My rear is mounted on the cab by the light but could be mounted at the back of your Topper. Normal power cord is a power port but they will send you a hardwire so the unit shuts off but has power all the time for shock...
  6. Maximizing Battery Life

    Yes it is one selection for both when disabling.
  7. Dash Cams

    I like the rear view mirror type because it improves your back and side visibility. Records front and rear, and will record when parked if senses a shock. WOLFBOX G850 4K Mirror Dash Cam,12'' Mirror Dash Cam Front and Rear,1080P Rear View Mirror Camera,Dual Dash Camera for Cars with 64GB TF...
  8. Maximizing Battery Life

    "At low efficiency (idling/high acceleration) the voltage setpoint is lowered to reduce drag on the engine." So the BMS adds horsepower during acceleration! For free, except battery life.
  9. Maximizing Battery Life

    Decoupled is a bit misleading, to me would be like a clutch. This is like a bike pedal, always able to drive the alternator but not able to slow it down.
  10. Talk me out of a hotrod truck

    Looks nice, they did most of the hard work but didn't finish under the hood before the engine went in. Just needs a lot of prepping and painting. Not a bad deal at that price.
  11. Maximizing Battery Life

    The clutch does not appear to have anything to do with charging, only helps smooth the belt operation. The system senses coasting from speed sensors and engine load and excites the alternator to a higher charging voltage until the engine is under load again, utilizing the coasting energy.
  12. Maximizing Battery Life

    The risk there is that with BMS/ASS disabled with Forscan there is no charge regulation so it stays at 14.7 volts and can damage the battery. I don't believe there is a one size fits all solution since disconnecting BMS may be fine for occasional drivers but may overcharge for heavy use vehicles.
  13. Maximizing Battery Life

    Based on @airline tech recommendation to not run higher than 80% soc that may damage battery, today I reduced mine from 90 to 80 and reactivated ass/BMS with Forscan. Realized that with ass deactivated I was also getting no bms action, always running at 14 volts when driving. Now it stays...
  14. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Got my tip today, installed tonight.
  15. What did you receive in the mail today for your Ranger?

    Received an exhaust tip, will be installing tomorrow.
  16. Yay or Nay

    Yep Monster
  17. Does your gas tank pipe look like this?

    The two attached to the rubber hose are what I added. One is supply and one is a vent to the aux tank- keeps the evap system happy.
  18. Tesla semi issues and limited range

    This article speaks of infotainment problems but only briefly mentions the stated 425 mile range versus the actual 100 miles. Could this be why they need towing? https://www.motorbiscuit.com/why-are-tesla-semi-trucks-stranded-by-the-roadside/
  19. What did you do to your Ranger today?

    Finished the wiring for the transfer pump on my auxiliary tank. Installed a fuse panel, switch, and timer so the pump shuts off. Earlier projects shown are the volt meter and usb replacements for the power ports.
  20. Does your gas tank pipe look like this?

    Having pulled mine apart recently to plumb in the aux tank I can say the upper filler neck pushes through the rubber piece in the fuel cubby. The upper neck consists of the capless top and a metal tube about 12 inches long which connects to the lower rubber hose that goes all the way to the...
