    M1114 and Forging Exhaust

    The turbo trucks don’t need the old style bracket in the fender, there is a reinforcement plate installed on the inner fender…still required to have the rubber isolators, but that’s it.

    M1165A1 TCM "J10 Ignition Interface" Wiring Dongle

    remove it and plug the wire into 29T…that was how power was applied when the ignition switch is in “Run” position. It powered the AFES.

    Fan Time Delay Module bypass / Manual Fording Switch

    Huh? I’ve literally had US military trucks with an adapter that eliminated the TDM…the Cadillac valve is a 24v solenoid, everything electrical is 24v… 24v is present at all time on the engine harness on wire 458 when the key is in the run position

    Fan Time Delay Module bypass / Manual Fording Switch

    You don’t need a TDM as the thermostatic switch allows and denies 24’s anyway to the TDM, the TDM is not what actuates the fan, it’s the thermostatic switch Wired to the Cadillac valve solenoid.
