Great White

KMG, I have been looking for a way to charge my battery bank while on the road. I am going with an AGM set up and portable solar panel because I live in Oregon and most spots are too shady to rely on all day sun so chasing sun spots are as good as it gets at times. Since I am mixing batteries, AGM and wet cell, I have heard that trying to charge both off an alternator will shorten the AGM's life. I'm not sure about that but the C-TEC system sounds like a good way to keep the charge tailored to the AGM bank. How is it working for you? Have you tried powering it from the inverter? I park in sites with electric hook ups a lot so I can charge it on 110 on the rainy days here. Is the charger you using set up for 12 volt or an adapter, or are you using two separate chargers? The rig sounds just like what I need up here. Thanks.

Hi, new to the forum. I have a 2015 3500 HD High top cargo van. It has had a squeal from the front pads when making a right hand turn or just a slight turn at high way speeds. I took it into the dealer and they de-glazed the pads and it worked for about an hour. Took it back and they ordered new replacements and refitted them. Worked well for about 3 days then the squeal returned. Not as bad but noticeable. I had a similar situation with an 05 Chevy 3/4 ton and it was a bad run of parts. Has anyone out there had similar issues? It stops great for a big truck. I can live with the issue because it only happens when pads are cold or due build up on rotors and the slight film of rust as a result. It clears after driving but still happens intermittently through out the day. I have less than a thousand miles on it and feel maybe they just need to set in. Ant suggestions would be great, Thanks.
