  1. We are going to connect it to the passenger side battery. There is no need for a switch as our DC-DC converter shuts off when the truck ignition is off.
  2. We have a slide in truck camper. The charger is installed in the camper. We installed a 2 awg wire running from the charger to an SB150 Andersen connector permanently mounted on the front of the camper. We will run a 2 awg wire from the truck battery to an Andersen connector permanently mounted on the truck side and then use a short cable to connect the two. We have an adapter cable that also allows us to plug our 12V compressor into the Andersen connector on the truck without having to clip it directly on to the battery.
  3. The switches look the same at first glance, but the owners manual we got with our truck shows 5,10,15 amps for the various switches (see attached), but I have also seen info from the body builders guide that claims aux 1-4 are 25 amps and 5-6 are 40 amps so I admit to being confused. I will note that Victron has both an isolated and non-isolated dc-dc charger. We have the isolated. We tested it by attaching temporary cables directly to the battery in our old F350 and it definitely stopping drawing power when the ignition was turned off. We are doing a permanent solution to an anderson connector with our new F550.
  4. Our DC-DC charger (Victron) can be set up to only draw power when the ignition is running, so no need for a switch. Also note that in our 2022 F550 according to the owners manual, , none of the upfitter switches will support 20 amps (some are 5 amp, some are 10 amp and some are 15 amp).
  5. We are taking delivery of a 2022 F550 chassis cab that we will be using to carry our truck camper. We installed a 30 amp DC-DC charger in the camper and need to run a cable from the truck that will connect to the camper via an andersen connector. There are two batteries in the truck and we are not sure which we should be attaching the cable. We are thinking the battery on the driver’s side is the primary and is the one we should attach the charging cable to. Can anyone confirm that or point us to a place where we can find the information?
  6. The F550 Lariat we ordered back in April has finally arrived at the dealer. Unfortunately they made a mistake in the order and it has the standard non-limited slip axle rather than the limited slip we ordered. The dealer claims they can order parts and convert it to limited slip but that the parts are backordered. We will be installing a flatbed and use the truck primarily for carrying a truck camper and we do sometime travel on snow, ice, gravel or mud. Does anyone have experience with converting to limited slip after the fact? We have waited so long for the truck to come in but are wondering if we would be better off starting over again.
  7. Our dealer claims that our F550 had a build scheduled for the week of 9/6 with a dealer delivery expected the week of 9/27. He still says he expects the truck around the timeframe however when we enter the VIN in to the online order tracking, it only shows an order date, all the other date fields are blank. Is it possible that the dealer information is correct even though the consumer site doesn’t show anything?
  8. We ordered an F550 chassis cab in April. The dealer did not enter our email when they placed the order so we do not get emails directly from Ford. The sales manager recently told us the our chassis is showing a build week of 9/6/2021 but claims there is no VIN yet. Does that make sense? I thought that the VIN came before the build date.
  9. We are ordering a 2022 F550 Lariat chassis cab. On the 2021 Build & Price, the Lariat Value Package includes a power sliding rear window. On the paperwork we have gotten from the dealer, it is not mentioned. It does not appear to be an option he can specify. Does that mean the opening window is no longer available for 2022 or is it just an oversight in the documentation? A second question, is it possible to get a sun roof in the F550? The sales manager says he doesn’t have an option for a sunroof. Just want to confirm as we would be frustrated if it was available and it did not get ordered. Thanks!
