No, if I took it the wailing I'd here from you would be too much to bear.
I also remember all the work you did to get it. Look how it kept you
occupied this past week.

Had nothing to do with your "machine". I gotta tell you tho, the ole JD
hasn't missed a beat so far. Everythings been running good so far, got
about a hundred acres of beans to finnish up next week. Looking forward to
a bit of a break.

Good deal. Does "the machine{" fit on the JD?

That damn car was fantastic on the drive both way's. It let's you move

instant response.

Just out of curiosity, what kind of mpg you getting out on the highway??
At 70mph it will get a constant 20-21 mpg depending on grade. At 75-90+ it
will drop to 17.5 I've never had less on the highway, remember it does not
have the cyl cut out or whatever ya call it. What's nice is at those speeds
it stops as fast as it goes. Those Brembo's are a good piece.

a set of rotor's as well. Had to hit them hard at about 80mph a few times
then I started to get the shimmy at high speed applications.

With getting your fat ass stopped from 80 mph I'm surprized it ain't got a
drag chute on it.
The question the begs to be asked is: Will your fat ass fit in the
contoured seat?
I'm sure there is no weight used on the JD.

Not at all. Haven't even had the opportunity to try it since it's been on
the east coast for a few years now.

That isn't bad for that kind of performance. My old big-block Camaro would

Stock out of the box, I've seen time slips that vary from 12.80 on up most
are 12.9 low 13's. Having to do with driver, weather, elevation and so on.
Top speed some have posted pic's and vid's of 165mph Not too shabby for a 4
door.Doubtful your Camaro could turn that. I know that the 69 I had could
but it was far from stock. Glass nose, and stuff like that. Not a registered
street car. Actually it was a cheater, was a 427. No way would it get to
165MPH with the rear gears.

How heavy would you use?

*heavy*, Skippy! I think I already said that.


C'mon crotch cannibal, that was a question. How *heavy*? Or is it beyond
you to answer? Look if ya don't know(seems ya don't) roll over, give the
Idiot a slap on the ass wake him up and ask him.
I'm sure by now you've done some research and have some sort of a
answer, don't ya troll boy?

*WOW* your replies are getting short!
There were several points worthy of further discussion, where did
everything go???

My first answer to Big Al wasn't "profound" enough for you. Why don't you
elaborate on it a bit?

You probably, no, *definitely*, should comment on my assertion that
connecting a 12V car battery to a 12V motorcycle might not be a good
idea. Do you agree, or disagree, or have any thoughts at all? Tell us!

How about the parallel battery setup that I called a poor design, Dodge
does that don't they? I haven't seen Dodge's dual battery setup
personally, but I'm pretty sure it's been mentioned here. And I don't
recall ever seeing any negative comments about it. If it's as I think it
is, then I just called it LOUSY, and nobody wants to comment? What do you
think about it, Skippy?



Well, took ya some time to get cleaned up.

Still didn't answer the question.

LOL!



WTF do ya want?? I just drove 1200+ miles in about 17 hours and I'm beat.
G
Sure. And I'm on the left coast, posted something at 2:45 AM, but you
expected me to stay up til 4:00 to await your next reply.

The danger there is being stuck at camp with two dead batteries.


Apparently you don't understand the function of the relay in this
circuit or how it works.

There is no "this circuit".


Sure there is. OEMs have been making them available for years.

Look, Neil, there was no "this", and now there's no "them". There are
many circuits.


There are many thick headed people also, but this isn't about you
or your minions.
Oh, look! Neil is starting to call me names now.

Quote:
Big Al described this:
"You need to isolate the trailer
battery while the truck is cranking."


I don't really care how Big Al described it.

Then you don't care about what I replied to, because that's what I
replied to.


That's quite the crystal ball you've got there.
Those are "floaters", Neil, they're in your eyeballs.

Quote:
"You need to isolate the trailer battery while the truck is cranking.
Otherwise the trailer battery will try to help feed the starter. You can
use a relay connected to the radio feed, the radio goes off when
cranking." - Big Al

"When the truck is parked and the ignition is switched off, the
batteries are isolated from each other preventing the vehicle
battery from being discharged from electrical usage in the
trailer. i.e., the relay is not energized, there is no direct
positive cable connection between the two batteries." - Neil

Is the ignition switched off when cranking? Um, no, better not be.


Is the engine cranking when the ignition is switched on?
Does the word "ignition" describe just a circuit?
Does the word "ignition" describe a switch which has multiple
positions and/or modes of operation?
If the component in question is installed in a Diesel vehicle,
must we now call it a 'compression switch' because Diesel engine
don't have an ignition system?

If a thick headed person is shown to be wrong, does arguing
semantics bolster his position?
Don't try to blow a nebulous fog over it, Neil.

Quote:
So then, you have the batteries connected while cranking,


I never said I would connect the relay to an ignition feed.
So you, and everyone else, would connect the relay trigger to radio
power, same as Al would? And that's why "this circuit" covers everything?

Quote:
I only described the state that a particular switch was
positioned to.
Which confirmed what I said. You have the batteries connected while
cranking.

Quote:
and Al has
them isolated at the same time. Are you both talking about the same circuit?


What circuit? According to you, there is no circuit.
You won't answer, so there's NO circuit now?

Quote:
You claimed that in "this circuit" the only time they are tied together
is when the engine is running. But Al has them tied together whenever
the radio will play. Is that the same thing?


Can you think of a way one might have an advantage over the
other?
Sure. Al can turn his key to "Acc." so the family can listen to the
truck's CD player over dinner, while his trailer's lights drain the
truck battery.

Quote:
And you're going on to describe something *entirely different* below.


Nope, not entirely different. Just appears so to you because (as
I said) you don't know what the circuit does or how it functions.

You don't really care about what Big Al said, so you'll just ramble on
about your circuit instead. Go ahead...


"Ramble?" I would never entertain the thought of competing with
you...


When the truck is parked and the ignition is switched off, the
batteries are isolated from each other preventing the vehicle
battery from being discharged from electrical usage in the
trailer. i.e., the relay is not energized, there is no direct
positive cable connection between the two batteries.


Two batteries in parallel isn't the best setup either. The weaker
battery will draw the stronger one down to its level.


Won't happen. The only time the two batteries are connected
together is when the tow vehicle's engine is running via the now
energized isolation relay, if the engine is running, the circuit
voltage to both batteries is higher that the static open circuit
voltage of the batteries, the batteries are now being charged,
there is no "weaker" battery. Differences in internal resistance
between the two batteries will cause the battery with lower
resistance to draw more current, but that is the only difference.


This may not
matter much with a popup camping trailer that sees only occasional use,
but is a poor design when two or more batteries are always tied together.


The batteries -aren't- always tied together. the only time they
are tied together is when the engine is running and they are
being charged.semantic
You should endeavor to learn how a properly connected isolation
relay works. (assuming that you can find time in between calling
people names)

Boo-hoo.


So true!

What's true to you, Neil?


Are you having a problem following the attributes?
(that's a question, not an answer)
We can argue if you like, Neil, but I might end up naming you Nell. Then
you'd get upset.

Is that what you want Beryl?

I offered an explanation as to why your deductions were in error.

Apparently, it upsets you that you were wrong and that I know
more about the subject than you.

I'll make it real simple. (assume you have at least seven fingers
and/or toes left)
There are seven output circuits from the ignition switch on a
2002 Dodge Dakota;
Circuit #2 is hot in the run and start position.
Circuit #3 is hot in the run and start position
Circuit #7 is hot in the run position only
Circuit #8 is hot in the run position only
Circuit #9 is hot in the run position and the accessory position
Circuit #10 is hot in the run position and the accessory position
Circuit #13 is hot in the start position only

From the above factory information, it is easy to see that it is
possible to tap into two of these circuits to trigger an
auxiliary battery isolation relay so that the relay would -only-
be energized when the ignition switch is in the engine running
position, the relay would -not- be energized during engine crank
and the relay would not be energized if the ignition switch were
in the accessory position.

If I were wiring this relay for a customer, I would not wire it
as Big Al suggested, not because his way wouldn't work but
because his way leaves an error mode that the customer may not
realize resulting in a drained vehicle battery.
IOWs, because of certain people who can't fathom how a battery
isolation circuit works, things have to be made as idiot proof as
possible.

Now, feel free to call me any name that you choose; Nell,
Nellybell, Bob and Neil, Aardvark, punkin, sweetcheeks,
hermaphrodite, etc. because after all, there is nothing wrong
with one more confirmation from you of what type of person you
really are.
FYI, if there was even the slightest chance that anything you say
could "upset" me, why would I bother explaining your error to you?

Or say thank you for giving you a bit of free education.

Is that what you want Beryl?

I offered an explanation as to why your deductions were in error.

Apparently, it upsets you that you were wrong and that I know
more about the subject than you.

I'll make it real simple. (assume you have at least seven fingers
and/or toes left)
There are seven output circuits from the ignition switch on a
2002 Dodge Dakota;
Circuit #2 is hot in the run and start position.
Circuit #3 is hot in the run and start position
Circuit #7 is hot in the run position only
Circuit #8 is hot in the run position only
Circuit #9 is hot in the run position and the accessory position
Circuit #10 is hot in the run position and the accessory position
Circuit #13 is hot in the start position only

From the above factory information, it is easy to see that it is
possible to tap into two of these circuits to trigger an
auxiliary battery isolation relay so that the relay would -only-
be energized when the ignition switch is in the engine running
position, the relay would -not- be energized during engine crank
and the relay would not be energized if the ignition switch were
in the accessory position.

If I were wiring this relay for a customer, I would not wire it
as Big Al suggested,
Finally!
There goes "the circuit" you began arguing with me about. <poof>

Exactly as I said, NELL, "You don't really care about what Big Al said,
so you'll just ramble on about your circuit instead."

not because his way wouldn't work but
because his way leaves an error mode that the customer may not
realize resulting in a drained vehicle battery.
Didn't I just say that, NELL, when you asked "Can you think of a way one
might have an advantage over the other?"

Quote:
IOWs, because of certain people who can't fathom how a battery
isolation circuit works, things have to be made as idiot proof as
possible.

Now, feel free to call me any name that you choose; Nell,
NELL will be good.

Nellybell, Bob and Neil, Aardvark, punkin, sweetcheeks,
hermaphrodite, etc. because after all, there is nothing wrong
with one more confirmation from you of what type of person you
really are.
FYI, if there was even the slightest chance that anything you say
could "upset" me, why would I bother explaining your error to you?
A better question, NELL: why were, and are, you intent on ignoring what
Al was describing, and instead explaining your truely bitchin' and
amazing "this circuit" instead?

Quote:
Or say thank you for giving you a bit of free education.
That was dazzling, NELL. Well at least I now know the seven output
circuits from the ignition switch on a 2002 Dodge Dakota that I don't
own, thanks so much.
