Gentlemen; I'm really saddened to read that another of the defective Gen1 chargers has surfaced. These were supposed to have been recalled long ago, and somehow evidently more than one were missed. Don was right; I previously had an Aug 1996 built WM200 on my garage wall that...

Hello Kevin Yes the paddle can over heat. It is the paddle not the port that failed. I hope the paddle melting down did not destroy the charge port. Jeff had one fail a while back he caught just in time. I would recommend anyone using a Gen1 to use it in the winter only. I bel...

Hey Don, Can this Gen 1 paddle overheat, even with the cooling system working? I was suspecting a bad coolant pump. Rick, If it is the paddle, I have a Gen 1 wall mount for parts. The paddle is fine. Kevin McMullin ________________________________ From: [email removed] [mailto...

While we await the availability of replacement fan buffers for our S10s, I came up with what I believe is a decent *temporary* "workaround" for the fan buffer problem. I hooked up a relay which switches the fan on (at full speed) whenever the reversing valve is active. The rel...

Short version... As we all know, the SOC is NOT reality. (Especially when you have replaced the Panasonics with higher Amp Hour batteries). The BPCM will shut me down after a 36 mile commute. (18 miles to work, 18 miles home). Everything from the truck gauges tells me I'm kill...

Stephen, I have seen DTC #274 caused by varying battery voltages (i.e. an imbalanced pack). Also, I believe that cycling the ignition is just an alternate way of clearing certain DTCs without a scan tool. If you have the Tech2, there's no need (or advantage) to cycle the ignit...
