$1100 Tundra build

Tundra put in some work last week pulling home some firewood. About 10,500lbs pulled home 25 miles.

took it like a champ. Next time I’m hoping to use the WD hitch to get some of that weight on the front.

 

Awesome build! Did you ever find your parasitic drain? If not, put an amp meter between Neg cable and the Neg battery post. .03-.05 drain is at the high end of acceptable. Turn on your parking lights to see if you have the meter hooked up correct, should draw around 2ish amps. Next start pulling fuses one at a time (replace fuse before moving on to the next one) and watch for the meter to drop. Check the FSM for everything that fuse is connected to, narrow your search down.

Note: Don't know how long your truck takes to "Go to sleep" so wait a few minutes for the meter to settle. Also, no key in the ignition and roll down the window so you won't wake it up by opening the door or flip the latch on the door to trick it into thinking its shut.

 

Thanks man!

Yeah, It ended up not being a parasitic drain issue. Instead, it was a bad battery. New battery and it will keep voltage just fine.

 

Went and organized some of my photos last night and was feeling nostalgic. Few different phases of the truck.
