Thumbs up Lights & voltmeter

I hooked up some lights for the ramp truck so I can see at night if I ever have to load/unload anything.
Plus I added a digital volt meter to keep a eye on the battery charge.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

Thumbs up Re: Lights & voltmeter

Lookin good Andy, can't have too much light on a dark night. And after my recent electrical issues I can sure appreciate the value of a good voltmeter.

Yes sir, This ramp truck is a work in progress. It has a bunch of small issues I need to address but it's slow. Next major thing is swapping out the steering column. I have a tilt I have rebuilt it and turned it into a 4 speed tilt. I shaved the indicator off and took all the automatic stuff off of it.

Just some more info:
I ran the 12 volt wire for lights down to the solenoid I installed earlier for the winch & air compressor. I put a 40amp relay in it and just ran a wire off the fuse block to the switch to trigger the relay. Those bed lights are getting full 13.5 volts when on.
If anybody ever tailgates me they will get a eye full!

Re: Lights & voltmeter

Nice! How about a bit more detail on the voltmeter? Does it plug into the cigarette lighter?

Yes.
I bought 15 of them to install in golf carts. They read 0-100 volts 2 wire hook up. I put a cig connector on this one and use it in vehicles when I'm doing stuff but I decided to leave it in the ramp truck.

I had it in the 56 while on the 2018 Power tour to keep a eye on the battery.
