1. Best Buy could do it in 10 minutes 😂😂😂

2. Good job I like the modifications

3. That's so cool

4. A guy with so many long reach pliers and you are grabbing for wires with your fingers instead of using the tools….lol😂, sounds like me…

5. Many people have commented on the fuse tap, and I agree with that. Being on the "hot" side of the fuse is important. I didn't see any comments about the connectors, though. I was very surprised that you didn't simply take the small red female connectors off of the terminals on the switch that came with the kit, and install appropriate male terminals on the switch you already had in the dash to have a modular connector! That's what I would have done, so I was wondering if that was by choice, or if it just didn't occur to you. Just a curiosity, not a criticism. And maybe a suggestion to make things easier in the future? Idk lol

6. Yes the standards were offered in that model but the automatics were more popular.

7. You're videos are the best IMO! Keep doing what your doing!

8. RE: wire through the firewall – I have a metal straw and thread the wire through the straw , then the straw through the grommet, then pull the straw off the wire.

9. I didn't look at my phone but I did wonder what you did to your truck. LOL

10. 23:20 – Both sides have power only because the fuse is good. if the new unit pulls enough to blow the fuse then you won't have cruse control either. If you connect it to the battery side of the fuse it won't blow the fuse but you need to make sure the circuit you are putting in is fused.

11. 15:53 – The push button switch might have an LED and the toggle switch might have a regular bulb.

12. Outstanding mod installation.

13. Most big rigs come with a high-idle feature. If you don't set the high-idle, the engine will shut itself down after about 5 minutes of idling.

14. Learn how to use a multi meter with LEDs and induction bulbs please

15. I know your a Chevy guy but just buy the Ford F150 PowerBoost. It's a generator on wheels and will power your house for up to 3 days. Look at the people on Youtube that Have during outages use the F150 Powerboost to energize there house. BTW, just think you can also power your shop!!!!!!

16. RAAY weeee seeeee that glock mag in there lol love it didnt know you were a gun guy

17. Thats bad ass. great job.

18. could have just remove those spade connectors and crimped new ones on in the other switch

19. Wrong ringtone for me to look at my phone.

20. you are reminding me why I added the Upfitter switch bank to my 2021, I only have to run 1 wire to the switch output wire.

21. Watching Ray crimp cables is the only 'cable' TV I'll watch

22. WOW! Thats the biggest wire stripping knife ever!

23. Heck yeah

24. Hey Ray I am an RV repair tech and I thought I would give you some tips on how to achieve that battery inverter system.
    First I would use 4X 6V Golf Cart Deep cycle batteries Wired in 2S2P. they are taller so you can fit more battery in a smaller footprint and they have a very good seep cycle AH@20H rating unlike dual-purpose marine batters that are better suited for starting engines.
    second I would use a Battery isolation manager or BIM for short. they have more versatility than just a solenoid and will automatically charge whenever you have the engine running and you can have an override switch so you can start your truck with them in case you run down your truck battery.
    third I would use really beefy wire from the batteries to the inverter. like 4/0 AWG ( that's 4/OUGHT not 4AWG) if you truly have 7000W of inverter that is a draw of almost 650A at 12v DC, and like 2/0 from the alternator to the batterys depending on how much your alternator can output

25. "The sound silence," by "Disturbed" right b4 the dreaded door chime. 😊

26. Why not just stock more gas for the generator during hurricane season?

27. Using the alternator as a main generator does not make sense. 100 amps at 12 to 13 volts is 1200 – 1300 watts at the alternator powered by a 6.6 liter v8 turbo diesel. Are you something not telling yet about other planned modifications?
    Would not put marine battery's in a truck and drive around all the time. Big battery's drain also rather fast and they are very very heavy. Also I wonder, when you connect that to your electric-system of your car to charge them, will that work? Battery's connected to your car "wanting" to pull over 200amps from the car electric system.
    Get a proper diesel generator and maintain it; and keep the car as a emergency power-backup system?

28. You never had to replace the ECM in the last 16 years? Looks like that truck is a good quality product!

29. See if you can do the same with your flatbed tow truck?

30. Firstly, love the videos. Secondly, I’d be eternally grateful if you’d center up that steering wheel cover. It’s been triggering my OCD for a while now. 😂
