I have been reading this forum for awhile and many answers are not really answers.
I have 3 of these which I plan to make reliable as a modern vehicle without the troubles that I keep reading here.
First topic is Electrical.
1 Lighting (Why are people not upgrading the lights to better lighting.
I have already done this with EVO LED headlights Extremely Bright legal and use less power.
2. Electric Fans (Most vehicle today use electric fans with great success and reliability.
Why is no one doing this and yes the aftermarket fans are inadequate. What I'm looking at is the F350 electric fans and the Ford Expedition Fans which Seem more than capable of getting rid of the power robbing mechanical fan. Has anyone Tried something like this?
3. Alternators since we need more power for Electrics our alternator crosses to many modern alternators with less drag and way more power (Delco even lists it on site they have) alternator can be put in up to 200 amps even. and you don't have to rewire everything but would be recomended.
4. EFI it seems people are still having trouble with Fuel Starvation
what are people using ??? stock pumps EFI pumps in tank pumps??? Edelbrock Sump Pumps?
Hydramat to increase in tank pickup area? has anyone tried this?
5. Dashboard and Engine Information
What has anyone done to get more data from the engine using Ipad or Android tablets?
6. RV discrimination?
It seems some RV parks won't let you stay IN San Diego near Sea World if your rig is over 10 years old?
has anyone had this problem traveling?
Many Younger people are buying these vehicles and liking them for the style etc. I'm one of them and know many more who are starting to do this.
My Purpose for these vehicles is reliable daily Tour Vehicles for Media Events I work with and for large family trips cross country and possibly overseas.
Thanks
John
