    Alternator Will Not Charge During Idle But Charges At Higher Engine Speed?!?!?

    Swathdiver good info...THANKS. That is definitely the smarter way of saying that the truck has a "Smart Alternator that varies the output based on conditions to increase fuel economy" like the advertisements did back in the day. So here is the deal...the volt meter does indeed show low-ish...

    Alternator Will Not Charge During Idle But Charges At Higher Engine Speed?!?!?

    Hi All, THANKS for the quick responses and helpful advice. Yes it is a 2007 (did not realize I posted on the -2006 thread). The Renogy is the 50 Amp unit and I do want the heavy cables to charge the LifePo battery because it would be nice in the morning after boondocking all night to just...

    Alternator Will Not Charge During Idle But Charges At Higher Engine Speed?!?!?

    THANKS for the quick response and the suggestions >Unless you have a base model you likely have the 145a alternator and as far as I can tell that is the largest factory alternator installed in the LT model. It is a base model with 4WD and a towing package. >The Denali did offer a 160A...

    Alternator Will Not Charge During Idle But Charges At Higher Engine Speed?!?!?

    Hey there, I have a Yukon 1500 with a 5.3 and the alternator will not charge when the engine is at low RPM...however it will charge when the engine is at much higher RPM like 2000 and above. When the engine is idling the voltage at the battery is at 12.45-ish volts and then I turn on the AC to...

    DC to DC Charger?

    I tow a travel charger with my Yukon and I just installed a LifePo4 battery in the trailer. It seems that there are devices that will increase the voltage that is supplied to the trailer battery so that the LifoPo gets charged using the preferred charge voltage. Victron Energy has an "Orion"...

    Tow Mirrors That Don't Shake.

    I have a 2007 GMC Yukon and I bought some tow mirrors on Amazon and both sides just shake like crazy when driving down Highway. They're not completely useless but pretty close. I rode in a friends new GMC truck and the OEM mirrors were rock-solid. So I know solid mirrors are possible. Does...

    What Is The Best Radiator Available???

    Feedback on the Cold Case radiator installation/ experience. I bought the Cold Case RAD-GMT569A radiator and it looks really nice...excellent TIG welds and design. As previously posted it is NOT a direct fit. The plastic shroud of the OEM electric fan assembly needed to be trimmed down and...
