I did mine back in 2010/2011 and was in the spring so I was in a hurry to get bubba on the road because I don't drive him on salty Minnesota roads

I currently run the speed bumps front and rear and run great as DD and running fast on back basic country roads

Time to keep everything safe under the hood. Installed a Mopar hood lock. 15mins work may save $100s, will never know but time to be safe.

So the Genesis dual battery kit went in today. Looked like it might be complicated but was quite simple in the end. Only needed to cut one evap tube, other seems to be ok in the new position.

Also installed the Genesis indicator switch unit. Install needs cleaning up a bit. Switch not sitting straight at the moment.

It allows you to check battery voltages and operate the boost mode. Bit expensive for what it does but went with it anyway.
