Yes you should be able to replace the pump seals. I think those pumps are made by Power packer.

Comparing actual BTU to electric power used is how they determine efficiency. In A/C it is mostly a factor of outside air temp and size and airflow of the condenser… 28F is a pretty large delta for an automotive A/C. you might could improve performance a little if you can find a way to cram...

Ok, here is a calculator for you. Add in any two fields(CFM and deltaT) and it will solve for the third. Such as 1000CFM @ 13F temp drop,is 14,040BTU. To measure flow you will need something to measure the air velocity. I have a small handheld weather station with a built in anemometer that...

I think the detail you are missing is that the watt to BTU conversion(3412BTU/KW/HR) is ONLY applicable when you are CREATING heat directly from electricity. IE: A 1KW/HR heating element will deliver 3412BTU/HR of heat into air or water… refrigeration or Air Conditioning is not “creating”...

Shouldn’t be different. The filter boss is 3/8” NPT, with 3/8-JIC6 male adapters. The fuel lines all have JIC-6 female ends…

Ok, the line from the middle of the top/square portion of the axle IS the axle vent line. where is the axle vent line on the other axle? I could see the lines from the 2 separate axle vents being tied together into a common vent port(T fitting to vented cap)…

Well the cap that rotates freely sounds like a vent cap… Each axle should have a vent line to the top of the axle housing. There should be the control air line to the power divider on the intermediary axle differential(AWD to 6WD control when mode/6X is selected) Each end of both axles should...

Cool!

Since you expressed a desire to both collect heat from the engine and to apply heat to the engine from the habitat heating system, you will need a circulating pump, so for this application I would not necessarily plumb it from a hi port to a low/suction port. There is a port on the passenger...

You do not want to do that. It probably would not bother the pump, but it would restrict your ability to cool the engine and transmission. Yes the radiator pipe is large, but this is as much for volume and surface area as it is low restriction. Remember all the coolant must pass thru the...

Ok, unless you are having something very custom built it will be virtually impossible to put a heat exchanger in the main line/flow path… it would have to be something like the transmission heat exchanger(2.5” inlet and outlet ports?)… if it was in the main line, how would you get heat into...

Ok, so how exactly are you going to put this INLINE(all the main flow passes thru it) BEFORE the thermostat, considering the thermostat is in the housing and bolted to the side of the head?

1. Coolant circulating pumps on engines are not positive displacement pumps. They create a small pressure differential and move fluid but they do not really build any pressure and do not really react to blockage except that the coolant doesn’t flow… 2. Unless you are putting it in the main...

here you might find this interesting, the clutch and shift sequence of the 3000 series transmission, which is the core of our 3070 AWD variation… keep in mind that the gear 1-6 she is talking about are actually gear 2-7 in our transmissions. To get to out 1st gear, clutch C3 and C6 are...

Well most of it is in chapter 7, 21 and 22 of the 34-2 manual. The 24P manual transmission exploded views can also be helpful(all available in the manuals section here on SS). Shift and solenoid sequencing can be found in the Allison transmission troubleshooting manual TS2470EN. Googling that...
