OK guys if you are running a HMMWV crossover but not running an overflow tank like the HMMWV does then we will have to block off that port or change the fitting to a simple 90Deg vs the 'T'. If you are running an overflow tank then this line goes to the tank.
I would suggest considering...
That is the kit that is finishing up the first short run and we are taking pre-orders on. You get it at the discount price right now. Full production after the first run will be a bit of a wait.
OK Gentlemen,
Like we did with the HMMWV kits we are going to start with a small run as we tool up for production. There are a couple of distinct differences in the HMMWV kits and CUCV based kits. The biggest is the lack of proper return in the CUCV crossover which necessitated a custom...
I will PM you the details. We take PayPal for everyone's security. Thanks
Napa has the 180deg thermostats, I dont have a part number handy but get the correct one with the rubber section.
So based on our testing and measurements if your system is seeing 215deg (assuming the gauge is correct) then the front cylinders water jacket area is around 190deg and the rear is around 240deg. The overall temp of 205-215deg is really not bad but the rear cylinders are cooking without the...
So in your case you would use a standard HMMWV kit. We have those on the shelf for immediate shipment.
The overall system temperature is not greatly reduced as that is more a function of the thermostat temperature and the cooling system volume. However you will see a dramatic change in the...
Yes, that is correct. This switch is just an on/off. Cold to 125F it is closed (making continuity), 126F+ is is open (no continuity). Your glow plug controller is still working in either case but it's signal to turn on the glow plugs is interrupted by this switch. Bypassing will allow your...
>>>UPDATE<<<
OK I have a question for the group. The Glow Plug Inhibit Switch that is the rear left side block off plate is causing some issues with me getting these kits to market. The reality is that I never run them myself and adding $80 to the cost of the kit to maintain them when most...
Just a little update, the rear plate is on the way from a SS member, I am machining up parts and some are being laser cut. There is a bit of a back log at the laser cutter so it will be at least 2-3 weeks before I can test fit the kit components on a CUCV.
I have fabricated an adapter that moves the thermostat and cover out from the crossover a bit and allows for the return from my system into the adapter.
This is what I need in hand. I assume both the two wire and the single wire are identical thread count and size. What I am going to do is fabricate a custom block off plate to contain both the sensor and my coolant fitting but the packaging is VERY tight and I dont want to start making these...
I do have a local guy with a CUCV but his F150 took a dump and his CUCV is now his daily driver. So that is my backup plan but how long it takes is the question.
