Hi folks, looking at potentially adding a 2nd battery to the truck as i often have worklights and such running for extended periods and it would be much nicer to be able to turn the truck off and still be completely confident that i'm not going to have to start it with the handle.

Hi Folks, i should really come here more often, would make life so much easier So, my issue; When conering especially at low speeds, I get a single clunk ( sounds like two metallic objects striking.) I am increasingly drawn to it being a suspension bushing issue, looking closer today, it would...
