Silverbacks trailer to haul his booshi shit.. not my word.. its TacoXpo's.

[Silverback]

Nope!

I wonder if Sears is still selling the Platinum Diehard Marine series.

My local Sears is now a Planet Fitness....RIP Sears.

Guess I should get a bunch of spare parts for my Craftsman stuff before they go belly up. I always enjoyed the ability to buy small parts and service my own snowblowers/lawnmowers/etc.

 

[Anathollo]

Nope!

Ok good to know. I think I recall the salesman saying the marine batteries were going to stay in stock but apparently not.

 

[Silverback]

I think I'll go group 31 Odyssey. VatoZone can order them in.

 

[balakay]

What are you going to be using for a tongue receiver?

 

[Silverback]

Max-Coupler. Need to order it.

Ahh nice. Figured it was going to be that or a lock and roll. Just hadn't heard you mention it so was curious.

 

[Silverback]

I'll probably order some time this week. I'm not in a super hurry to get it but don't want it to be on backorder and have to wait months.

 

[Silverback]

Just called CVT. Good thing I called. They had my name all jacked up, first name and last name misspelled. Also had my phone number wrong.. Also found out its on back order to an estimated middle of June. Oh well.. that works for me actually.

I bet their credit/accounting dept had your name right when they billed you

Why not BatteriesPlus?

Why not BatteriesPlus?

The X2 Power group 31 has the same specs as the Odyssey but its about $50 more. I'll save some $$ and go AutoZone.

SLI31AGMDP - X2Power Premium AGM Car and Truck Battery at Batteries Plus Bulbs

 

[Silverback]

Ok, just ordered the battery from AutoZone.com. Got 20% off plus a $10 credit. Saved $62 plus free delivery that will be here on the 17th. Not bad for a 77 lbs battery! UPS is gonna hate me!

I should have checked on mine. I may have been able to rock that Booshi brand too.

Ok, so I was trying to wire up the brake away controller. It said to wire in this Deutsch connector however I did not have it. Called Smittybilt and they transferred me to the R&D department and I spoke with a guy in charge. He asked if I had the box with all the wiring harnesses in it. Nope. Apparently there is a change to this. I will need to remove and replace a bunch of wiring inside the frame.. yeah.. sounds fun <sarcasm> Anyhow, he really was helpful and sent me the PDF instructions and is overnighting the box which contains everything else. Anyhow, very happy with their customer server despite the initial trailer instructions. To be continued.

 

[tx_shooter]

Is it seeming like they rushed a product to market or just general user-beta-testing?

 

[Silverback]

I tend to think the same. But its a kit and I don't mind making mods as it helps me understand what they had done to it.

I wonder if the VP of Engineering for ProComp is the same as SmittyBilt?

LOL.. I just wonder why they let it out the door like it is. I mean if they are including a new wiring harness they expect the end-user to swap out... I think that should be something they address before it leaves the factory. Now that being said I don't really mind because this gives me a better understanding of how the thing is wired up and prepares me a little more should it encounter a wiring issue along the trail. At least I will know where things are ran... not that there is much to a trailer wiring.

And it is always good to know where what is. Or was he on first?
