Inverter issue?
Hey guys! I think im having an issue with my inverter. 2020 pete 579. Has the smart air and auto start and the factory inverter. When im chillin playing games after a shift my inverter voltage goes all the way down to like 12.2 on the inverter control deal in a pretty short amount of time. I have to go start the truck so it can charge back up.

You ever send dash cam footage in on somebody?
Just wondering if you can ever have the last laugh and really put it in somebody’s rear if you have them on video footage being one of those special clowns everybody comes across once or twice a year. The type that need a boot so far up their ### it would get lost in there.

Some woman in Ohio yesterday…reckless driving, unsafe lane change, then…
