Replying to: wcviper (Jul 02, 2008 9:52 pm) Hope you got it resolved by now, but just in case, here is a half-cent worth. On my '98, I added a second battery in parallel (never got around to putting in an isolator) and ran a fused set of wires with Anderson power connectors into the cab to run my FT-8900. My counsel is to make sure that the transmit power requirement doesn't exceed the circuit capacity and use wire heavy enough to handle the current. I just got my 07 2500HD Duramax (new style) three weeks ago and haven't figured out how I am going to handle radio stuff yet. I have wondered about using the trailer plug to re-charge a gel-cell (that I will use operating stand-alone during extended field operations) on the return trip. Another local ham has a similar rig so I will be playing 20 (at least) questions when I get an audience with him. New rig means so many new questions... 73s N7AKJ |

I am looking at a 1988 3500 with a dump box, a 350 engine and only 90,000 original miles. I want to tow a trailer and backhoe with a total weight of 10,000 lbs, can this vehicle legally pull this weight.

I have a 2003 GMC Sierra SLT 4x4 Ext Cab. I was looking at getting a 30' toy hauler but did not know which rear end I have on my truck. The owners manual states 2 different types. How can I determine which one I have?
