    Happy New Year! The Hx35w is for sure a great turbo! You would not be disappointed. They are super cheap too!

    Last night me got the intake filter elbow installed. Looking good! I will modify the filter cover and install that next before the bad weather shows up.

    Another trip to the Tobacco Root Mountains for the books! 4 people, 4 dogs and gear. Passenger and cargo space, wheelbase is why the M1009 is IMO the best budget wheeler one could get.

    I did some experimenting today after work. I wanted to see if I could get faster turbo spools at lower RPM’s by changing the made in China Hx35w compressor wheel and housing with the made in USA compressor wheel and housing. Measuring the compressor wheels… Made in USA Inducer=53.05mm...

    The correct oil feed adapter size for the HX35W is: M12x1.5 Metric Male x 1/4" NPTF Female https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/product-display.html?Product_Code=9235-12-04 This one I ordered has a metal compression washer instead of a rubber O-Ring to help seal.

    This was the second time they removed the same toenail. The first time was more painful for sure. It was not suppose to grow back, but it did… This second visit was free:-) Too much stuff to do on the days off to let a toenail limit me. I hope the turbo gives lower egts and more efficiency with...

    Today I got my toenail removed. The Dr said take it easy for a week. First thing I did when I got home was remove the downpipe and replace the bad cold advance idle switch. Then removed the Dinosaur GM1 turbo with a kink in it and started the HX35W swap. Almost done. Just gotta redue a couple...

    Today I wire wheeled a lot of rust on the body and touched up all the paint. Also got the truck tailgate painted as well. Got the paint from Rapcoparts.com It looks a lot better.

    Got the new soft topper on today. Wonder how many years this one will last… If anyone wants my old one, the windows could be fixed with vinyl sheet and some sewing. Comes with new hardware. Let me know. Free just pay shipping.

    Engine shut off delay?

    Ok. Thanks for letting me know! Much cheaper then a whole new IP!

    Engine shut off delay?

    Ok. So if it is the IP, what do I need to replace? If not the IP, what could it be? Just thinking ahead of the game.

    Engine shut off delay?

    So my motor started to have a 5 second delay when I turn the key to the off position. It won’t turn off for 5 seconds after I turned the key off. Where to start?

    Brake/Steering failure

    What would cause both to go out at the same time? When shutting off the motor, it resets itself and works again. What valve would cause this?

    The hoses and fittings are dry. It is for sure internal. Not sure what happened but there is no way a rock could have hit it. It could have been from the body flexing when on the rocks or just a poor design of the cooler. I have a new one on the way. It was interesting… because I put the oil...
