    220v alternator

    another thing I am considering (electrifying the trailer) is using hybrid-electric technology, like they do in city buses. That would mean a bunch of batteries with a generator to charge them as needed. But that would be cool (and green). Of course there is also the hydrogen fuel-cells...

    220v alternator

    I run a food truck business so I tow around a trailer which is like a kitchen on wheels. On the trailer I have a 10,000 watt 110/220v gas generator that powers up all the equipment (3 refrigerators, freezer, toaster, water heater, lights, computer, etc.). The generator is brand new but at...

    Weight Distribution Hitch

    I am sorry for being ignorant on this.... Is an anti-sway hitch (like the equalizer) the same as a WDH? When I look at their web site i see that it helps the swaying but I don't get how the tongue weight is now distributed to the front axle? What am I missing here? I have an 04 Expy EB...

    My 1st mod: Gadget panel

    Only clips that hold the top piece down to the bottom half. Gravity keeps it down anyway so there is no need for a screw or bolt The thing that may keep it from coming out could be the wiring harnass. Just give it a good yank.

    Dual batteries in an Expy?

    Has anyone installed a second/backup battery in an Expy? I work out of my truck a lot (while parked), the other day I had my laptop charger plugged in, 2-way radio, etc. and over a few hours the battery went dead on me and I could not start the truck. Yes, I know I can go start it every...

    '04 Expy whining noise??

    Hi all, I am new to the Expy, just had it for about a month, so I am still learning its personality. Every since the first day I drove it, I noticed a "wrommm wrommm wrommmmm" sound coming from the motor/outside during acceleration (past maybe 30 MPH), it increases slightly in pitch as the...

    How to remove headlights?

    Thanks EL! You really had gone above and beyond to help a buddy. I was finally able to get those headlights out (hey I am an expert now), and with SG1NUT's advices, I successfully installed the strobe bulbs and got them running. Damn they look nice.. and damn bright too. The HID video is...

    How to remove headlights?

    EL do you remember if the headlight unit comes out by sliding forward? or does it swing/pivot out? or? I removed the bolts and the unit is loose, but the slack/free play is only about 3/8" and something is keeping it from coming out. The taillight is simple, it just slides backward and out.
