My old porous disk was no longer porous because it was never cleaned. Learn the hard way again. When the switch failed allowing high pressure it blew my lid off and stripped the threads on the ring. The new bottle works great venting. I'll find where the pressure regulation is failing. Need this...

I just got the new washer bottle assembly from Fuzzytoaster. Verified all the delivery lines were clean and clear including the jets. My old washer switch was leaking air so I replaced it with a new switch which fixed the leak. The problem now is that pressure in equals pressure out of the...

Cummins rattle and turbo spool, very cool. I have a 4BT being shipped and know it won't look as clean as this one. As-is in frame cut out. Its a 130 horse with an air to air intercooler. Hoping for no surprises. What turbo are you using? Fast spool. I want to mildly pep mine up without hurting...

I will be installing the alternator I bought from 74M35A2 on my friend's A2 for now. I have a few other projects going and haven't had a chance to draw up a v belt pulley for my A0 that will attach to the short keyless shaft on this alternator. Send the .stp file to the CNC shop. Sure be nice to...

I cut a length of 2"x2" square tubing with 1/4" wall with angled ends so I could get grade 8 bolts up from the bottom into the carrier. The tube was bolted to the original mount from below as well. This cleared the shifter linkage. I cut the hooks off the cab as well. My solargizer panel removes...

The earlier post without the tire in the way is helpful. Here you can see how far to move the stack and the grab handle. The other pic shows the height increase looking at the difference in the hole pattern. I used the old A0 carrier for a ladder carrier that cams into the back bumper so I can...

It will fit with a little work. I will try attaching pictures of what I did to fit an A1 carrier with 395-85-20's on an A0. It needs lifted about 2" higher and the thinner 45 degree support arm needs removed. You also need to rotate the stack out and cut and reweld your grab handle for clearance...

My Pulsetech showed all four lights all summer. My garage stays above freezing but it drops to 75% charge quickly after charging with my weak OEM alternator which isn't much better than my cheesy battery charger. This explains why I need to get a new high amp alternator. I have a keyed battery...

I was chicken to post anything until I knew it worked. I looked at some heaters at JC whitney as well but they were bigger. I think this heater will be great for me with my well sealed hardtop in weather that rarely gets below zero. The block heater, like Joesco said, really helps out. I can run...

Mine just barely cleared. I had to assemble the 3 exhaust pcs on the bench to get the hole spacing and bolt it on like a single pc. Mine fit tight because of the ceramic coat, so I tapped with a hardwood block until the hole spacing measured right. I stuck the gaskets with high temp silicone so...

I ran the fat return line to a port in the block right below turbo. Just remove threaded plug. The smaller pressure line went where the oil sample valve was. There are pictures on ss. I'm out of state on my phone right now.

Comfortair wants $200 for the seal plug deal on my fan clutch. I'd rather spend that toward this alternator (1.21 gigawatt model) and go to an 8000 cfm electric fan. Less engine drag and better cooling adjustability with the variable rpm. Thanks guys you keep helping me find new ways to gold...

I ran 5" all the way. Standard flange welded to a 45 to a chunk of straight to a 90 all welded in one. I isolated with a section of triple wall stainless flex pipe to connect to the straight run out the back. Motor and the straight run can move independent without loading each other like...

I just installed this blower unit in the cab to replace the old core and blower in the engine area. Now I suck air from the cab and recirculate. This unit had two hook ups versus three on the old box so I sent both the windshields. 3 fan settings, 24 vdc. and it has plenty of CFM. This core is...

The only marking on my clutch is on the cast arm "FR5790". Different than the other pictures I see. My truck is an '86 923A0. I took it apart per TM 9-2320-272-24-3 section 4-61. The spacer (8 on page 4-356) was stuck and rusty. Seal plug (1) had a little grease but everything else was dry. I...
