Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
So everything below this plate is always live and lethal, 351 volts just waiting to make it a bad hair day, anything above this plate is only live and lethal when we turn on the truck to drive it or are charging the battery

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
that black box is arguably the most important component in this entire operation, I say arguably because some would say without the aftermarket open source VCU (Vehicle Control Unit) you can't drive the car, but in terms of safety without that black Safety Box your truck goes BOOM! and makes black smoke

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Top Tip: always try and buy as much OEM stuff as you can, ask for pig tails, ask for cables, as you wheel and deal, and the seller is firm on the price, say something like: "that sounds good, but will you throw in the cables?" and 86.54% of the time they might

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
those eagle eyed amongst you may notice the front two 7/16" studs are missing their acorn nuts, well, the struggle is real, take a look below at what my local ACE Hardware store carries (or should I say does NOT carry), they seriously jump from 3/8" to 1/2" you can't make this stuff up folks:
