After 569.4 miles I still had a quarter tank left. The ride was so smooth I had to wake everyone up that we were home. It's like that:giggle:

That was a long weekend trip with combination Interstate, Hwy, town, resort, and sightseeing. The PB gets it's worst mileage on the Interstate above 75mph. You'll see the trip mileage slowly ticking down as the miles add up. Heck, mine went all the way down to 25.8mpg lol! I so love this...

Yep, anything over twenty is gravy. Combination miles is where the PB really shines.

Was it working properly until today? It took me awhile to figure out the auto"not really" fan button and the regular fan speed up/down switch. The auto button actually limits the max fan speed to three preset levels lol.

That’s what I would do. Build my own outer case. I read that some of the early hybrids had battery pack’s not unlike this that allowed you to replace cells individually.

The connections are exposed and therefore require periodic inspections I would think? Dust covers or something anyway... I like that you are more in control of the quality and as you described, have multiple voltage options available while maintaining equality across the grid. Smaller gauge...

16 x 3.2v of LiFePO4 perhaps? Tapable and in need of an external BMS? I'm not a fan of so many mechanical connections open to the air. Inspection, cleaning, and re-torque required on a routine basis unless you have a fix for that as well sir.

That's fascinating. We've been using 48v switch gear for our voice and signaling systems for years. Balancer you say hmmm? Thanks Professor let the research begin!

I'm in the market as well, and I'm planning 200Ahr of LFP as a chassis battery bank to run things like the fridge, fans, internet, and security system while boondocking and we're away in the PB.

I sure was thanks 🤦‍♂️ Except for the cavitation part. That holds true regardless.

That's 12.7 Quarts. you're way off lol

Cavitated due to overfill? So, does that mean air bubbles in the fluid reduced efficiency? Both my reservoirs are just above the minimum line from the factory. Is that the true max fill level? I thought the fill containers were for venting overfill and protecting us from the heat of the...

I was quietly following along cleaning my shotgun and went what? Did I miss something? 🤷‍♂️

I already hijacked this thread. We are busy spritzing our radiators and intercoolers while pulling 11000lbs. up steep grades out west at high altitude with hot ambient temperatures. Neither a lift nor a level can save you now!

I'm a newbie to full size trucks and towing apart from the occasional rental so I very much appreciate the education. Thank you.

I think what I’m trying to understand is will the 5.0 run out of pull before it overheats while the 3.5PB overheats before it runs out of pull?

You're right of course, but another DC powered AC compressor wouldn't load the ICE more than the cooling it provides. Similar to the current AC unit that doesn't need to be turned off as you mentioned. My thoughts are only concerning the PB platform. Heck I could mount a mini-split in the bed...

Thank you so much for sharing that info. What we need is an Air conditioning expert to plumb in an additional AC compressor and evaporator coil for engine cooling. Switch operated for heavy load conditions. Power we have and it's cooling we need. The management systems won't care as long...

Gotcha, and when you say start to move you mean off of midscale correct? Because it does move from cold to midscale after running a bit. When you pinned it did it still pull strong with nearly 11,000lbs. in tow?

Same tires came with my truck as well and we love the smooth quiet ride. I'm running 38psi cold with 100lbs. or so in the bed.
