Y0ur bracket is bent. Light is terrible for me to get a pic of mine but it is straight along the red line seen in this pic… take it off put it in a press and push it where the long arrow is seen, you want to have it flatter where the small arrow is seen. basically when installed the bracket...

Yea bears follow their nose. The nose is attached to a very effective wrecking ball...

and if i were putting in an electric i would put it back there and set it up for the front/rear pull like a FOERS winch. Cable runs to the battery are way shorter back there...

the thermostatic valve only routes oil to the aux cooler when the temps returning from the primary cooler are warm enough to warrant it. yes, take that thermostat valve out of the system completely with only the transmission to-from ports connecting forward to the primary cooler...

those are group 24 batteries, not groupe 31's they are smaller...

the issue is that for the parts you found in the strainer to exit the P6 housing, they have to chew their way thru the clutch pack and splined aluminum housing/cover, with the aluminum housing being the weakest link...

here are some of the discussions on this with lots of excellent pics... https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1078-a1-transfer-case.195212/ https://steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1078a1-pandora-build-2024-picture-heavy.219710/

you don't have to pull the transmission, but you will probably have to lift the subframe to get enough clearance to remove the P6 cover

oh darn... there are a few discussions on it including one couple's saga with their failure and repair(the failure wiped out the P6 casing)...

You must remove the inner battery pocket tray and replace it with a flat plate. You must cut the pockets out of the lid to make enough height to fit the group 31’s. If you cut carefully the bottoms of those pockets can be carefully cut to fit flush in the holes left when cutting the pockets...

But to what purpose? You still need the heavy cable to starter motor case, and it still must function properly, so the added cable battery to chassis serves what purpose, When there is already one battery to starter and a properly cleaned main ground connection strap starter motor to drivers...

Not sketchy, neglighent… The possible issue when doing this is that if something happens to the main ground lead between batteries and starter the starter will attempt to pull all its starter current thru the alternate ground path and the starter to frame ground, and the braided straps are not...

Awww cute little fella…:)

Appendix F in the operators manual…

Yes the fronts are inputs and must be vented so they don’t store air in the line and act like an input. IE you step on the brakes and they won’t release as the stored air in the line to the blue gladhand keeps brake pressure applied untill it leaks away, or y0u go to set the park brakes and...
