I mean, i was just going to come right off of, or in front of, the lines running to and from the radiator. Which are very large gauge lines indicating a large volume of coolant flow needed. That's what i'm concerned about; The necessity of reducing that (something like) 2 inch coolant line down...

Oh, to clarify i didn't necessarily mean "the heat exchanger would be directly before the thermostat with nothing else in between." I'm still figuring out the best way at this point. Originally i planned to slot it in after the block and before the radiator to capture the heat before it's...

Heya Ronmar, and thanks for responding. You gave me some good info but the primary question i was hoping to figure out was "is this going to put more stress on the water pump and thus shorten it's lifespan." Being a mechanical water pump, i'm glad to hear the data you mentioned about it not...

Hey what's up gang. So I was just about to pull the trigger on a 60-plate heat exchanger unit for my "engine coolant to habitat hot water" system when a thought occurred to me. So, i'm cramming all this engine coolant coming from the engine into this "series of plates" whose job it specifically...

I cannot for the life of me figure out why literally every single person who "knows" what the actual code for the speedo back responds with "do calculus" instead of "the number is 101010xwhatever".

There are many, many eco-hubs discussions. I don't know which one you mean and i'm still finding new ones. You said 123. Did you mean #1, #2, and #3? And if so, is that from the left or from the right? From the mess of posts and threads i can't find where people have even come to a consensus...

Who knows the correct dip switch settings for the A0 speedometer once Eco-Hubs are installed?

I don't see any "panel rippling" in that picture my man. I do see a lens flare artifact. Is that what you're seeing and thinking it's a physical defect on the truck or am i mistaken?

Do NOT rush when installing your eco hubs because you think "it's technically possible to do in 4 hours" that "you should be able to". The people who brag about how quickly they got it done are the one's who end up having to re-do every single hub and spend 3 times as much time because they...

Then you're a tougher man than I my friend :ROFLMAO: I've also been having some crazy thoughts about the possible ramifications of slinging the axles above the leafs instead of below... Keep the same sized tires but the frame, the cab, and the whle truck just dropped what... 7 inches or...

Dope! Makes my day to hear someone I follow for advice has a similar thinking. Yup... The problem is we have these 47" tires and etc. And i say "problem" because "I cannot physically bring myself to put smaller tires on something that had 47"ers lol. You just "can't go smaller" once you have had...

Hey Ron! I just finished watching your video about resetting idle with the on/off and accelerator-press method actually. So I've thought about the axle load front/back a lot. First and foremost because, as almost impossibly unlikely it is to occur, i am TERRIFIED of hitting the brakes too hard...

I'm necro'ing this thread because, since lots of people are now buying these trucks to build a camper on the back and they will no doubt eventually find this thread as i did, a critical point still remains missing from it. Someone even went so far as to say that with the bed removed "there will...

AH so you're saying there's a lubrication... anything.. behind the dash panel near the hand throttle? Wish i could get in there right now but no fancy workshop with interior lighting so i can monkey around with trucks indoors at night lol. Will definitely check it out in the light of day...
