    I like your setup. I was under the impression that a well pump needed a pure sine wave inverter. I have a 5000w modified sine wave inverter.

      Probably work. Motors can run This has been running for four years. Things like tv microwaves etc need pure sine wave. Dont understand why you need autoformer Split phase is for pulling two legs of 120vac. Don’t need that for 240vac well pump. Also autoformer is for making up low voltage. Like and rv in campground plugged into low voltage. Let me know if I didn’t understand. Take care.

    Could you please tell me how much your wife's Raleigh weighs? I did go out and buy a 3x10 PVC and waiting on a saw I ordered to do this for my steps. I HAD a 72 lb bike the I struggled getting up my steps and wound out switching it for one that's 55 lbs. Your bike looks about the weight (maybe even more) of my other bike but hoping it won't do that w this 55 lb one. I do get it up my steps easier than the 72 lb one but it still isn't that easy so I'm really hoping this works. I HAD made a foldable ramp w a 12 foot 3x6 (cut in half) with a hinge but when I went to use it, the hinge came out the whole thing separating. BIG FAIL. So I bought the PVC. Diy ramp attempt #2. But b4 cutting it up and ruining it, not being able to return it, I wanna make sure it won't flex w a 55 lb bike. What's your wife's weigh?

I’m trying to understand what all you did and correct me if I’m wrong but you basically added a new fuel pick up that has a feed line to the pump and that then goes to the engine on the other side of the pump. What I don’t understand is how the return line goes for these trucks and for the new fuel systems. Is there a factory return line that goes to the tank? And and how does it work with the new system I see you plugged the old feed line did you do the same with the return line?

    To do one of these swaps successfully you really need a Lithium battery and solar panels, ideally also a DC-DC charger from your chassis alternator (for motorhomes), otherwise the compressor fridge will run your coach battery flat very quickly. Even if you plan only to use it plugged into shore power, you would still want to use it while on the road where it's running from the battery. It's difficult to get any reliability information for these appliances, but NovaKool has a very good reputation. I bought a Norcold Polar 8 DC frig and it was flaky out of the box, requiring a control board replacement under warranty. I may have got a lemon, though Norcold is not known for customer service either and it took two weeks to get parts. Note some of these refrigerators have dual compressors, one for the freezer and one for the refrigerator. This enables you to get more control over temperatures in each compartment, but there's twice as much to go wrong, and they are more expensive. Pay attention to the size wire on the frig and the installation instructions. Mine had 10 gauge wire, but the instructions said to hook it directly to the battery, as the fusebox circuit for the old frig may not have large enough wire. I had to use 8 gauge wire for a 10 ft run to the battery. Norcold won't honor any warranty replacement if the frig is not wired correctly, this may be true for other manufacturers as well, but even if not, it can't hurt to follow this advice as getting enough power is critical to long compressor life.

    Everyone concerned about pushing the bike up the ramp, or getting it in/out/over the front tire cradle, look into your bike operator's manual for the "walk mode". If you dig deep enough or check with your local bike shop, some bikes' walk mode speed is adjustable if it's too fast for you. Most bikes, press and hold the PAS down button when not in PAS 0, must be held to maintain walk mode.

      I thought that was genius when I 1st heard about that (a video on here when I'd struggle getting a 72 lb bike up my steps) I was so excited to try that but unfortunately, it didn't work on my stairs. It gets up about 2 steps but then just bounces and won't go up further. I'm sure it would great on a ramp but not like the UA-cam video that showed someone using it to go up steps.

    Did you reuse the charging system? Mine is kinda scary looking. Scared to try it

    This is awesome. I will make something for my rack as well. Just did not make peace with the asking $122 for a ramp that has bad reviews of usability. Thank you for sharing this wonderful idea

      Aren’t any left. They went out of business in early 80s. But check out factory five racing. In Boston. They have some things

    I like how the inner bay area where your master cylinder is, turned out. So you clearly painted coroseal all in there first, what did you use after that to get the black look? Did you prime it then paint it, or did you just brush on some black paint? I don’t see brush strokes though! Nice work!

      I coated with rust oleum gloss black brush and roller on. Thanks

      Couldn’t get a pinto wiper unit that fits. Didn’t drive it in rain. Allot of hot rod don’t have them. Use rainx. Thanks

    lol. Now that these 12v refrigerators have been on the market for a few years I'm looking to toss it and install a 3 way refrigerator.
