    jump start is common in sleeper cabs and RV's that have a separate battery setup to run lights, heaters, tv's and charge phones etc. But if you kill your main starting battery you can use your Sleeper batteries to "Jump" your main starting battery.

    I love this rig.
    You'd be surprised how well that carpet will come up with a proper deep clean. Take it out, give it a go over with the pressure washer and soap, then degreaser and a steam vacuum.

    • @RealSteelFabrications
      @RealSteelFabrications  Рік тому +2

      Thanks! A couple people have mentioned the steam vacuum, will have to try it out.

    • @tigerstripeeyes9871

      Simple Green is an excellent degreaser... put it on fully concentrated out in the warm sun and let it sit for a few minutes, then use a drill-powered scrubber on it and rinse with a low-powered pressure cleaner. Repeat if necessary when extremely dirty. Then use a steamer vacuum on it and your carpet will look as good as it's ever going to get again.

    The old 93 Ram 3500 looks pretty good. A little bit of boffin to the paint, paint the tailgate. Fix a tiny bit of rusty issue above those rear doors and it's gonna look awesome. It's a nice look and truck. And very rare. You don't see a lot of those rams with a sleeper conversion. It's actually kind of cool

    Awesome truck. I love it. It literally starts, sounds and smokes exactly like my 97 12 valve. When I got mine the whole inside was covered with diesel. I parked it on an incline so the water would run out and sprayed the whole thing out with a pressure washer after spraying laundry detergent inside.

    The relays that the "jumpstart" button activate look like the grid heater relays. They are activated by ground closing the circuit to allow power to cross and heat the grid. When the PCM ground would go out on the second gens you just ran a wire from battery ground to switch and switch to the relay. Once the button is pushed the circuit is closed. Look up grid heater relays and you'll see what i mean.

    One wire alternators are the way to go from what I have heard. The PCM has the voltage regulator built in it. I think the TPS on the autos feeds into it, maybe just for the overdrive. It may have something to do with the AC too. That VR you found on the passenger side was not original. Lots of info out there. CutterupRob has a good video on how to convert your alternator into a 1 wire. I'm not on telescope.
