A friend has an X15 that is draining battery power when the power to the unit is turned off. After about 4 days the battery is completely dead. Put in new battery and the same thing. After checking other alternatives, it is definately the X15 and not some other equipment causing the problem. He does not have the GPS hooked up at this time so it would not be a gps antennea issue.
Is this a widespread problem? The dealer seemed to indicate it is not but I wanted to see if others on here had the same problem.
😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular 😪
we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables, winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).
I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.
For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.
I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches. I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.
This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.
I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware. But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
