Im trying to use a 750 watt/110 volt, voltage inverter in my truck so i can run a computer off of it for my photography business. It works fine, but when i have it turned on, it causes too much interference on the radios in my truck...any suggestions on how to fix this? I just have it hardwired direct to the battery with 10 gauge wiring. I thought this would be a problem when i bought it, but I figured what the hey...

Some of the cheap inverters use a square wave output. This can cause alot of harmonics to be reflected back into the trucks electrical system. Some of the noise filters offered by the stereo shops might help.

also make sure you have a good ground. maybe upgrade to 8 ga wire,too.
why are you checking the forums, printing pictures, changng radio stations,talking on your phone, and driving,anyhow?

Because it's fun! no im a storm chaser in the spring and this is actually for my blazer that I use for that...I got it all figured out yesterday, and with the engine runnning, the alternator must supply enough juice to cancel out the harmonics in the system so im good! I can now get DTR in my car! Am i in heaven? I'll get some pics up once I get the car put back together.
