It will take a while to get all the kinks worked out. Once you do though, it will be nice.

It's actually important, because it keeps the airbags filled to the proper level.

I've never seen one, despite having looked. I'm not sure what it would contain, since the snorkel is already 9' in the air, and the engine has a fan shutoff.

I had to make one out of rubber sheet gasket material.

They are just called "O-Ring Boss" (ORB) fittings.

Gonna have it repaired and sell it?

They're a heavy duty Allison truck shop. They take similar transmissions out of dump trucks and stuff all the time.

That's practically the start of a bad joke. New people come in here asking for help understanding and the immediate response they get is a very closed-minded opinion that they need to throw it out or it's going to burn their truck down. It's reasonable to manage some risk if he wants to get...

It doesn't seem like this is much more than edge-case anecdotal "evidence". These digital keypads are installed on 10,000's to 100,000's of military vehicles? You can find one-off cases of practically any crazy thing happening, but if it was happening with any regular frequency the military...

Which is crazy, because this stuff isn't rocket science. You unhook some wiring harnesses and driveshafts, unbolt the transmission, and take it out.

I have one of these Peel2 scanners. https://peel-3d.com/products/peel-2?variant=33046758555671 It's really a Creaform GoScan 50, rebadged.

I'm still going by the logic that it's simply the age of the line that is the problem. It's not that it's an "oil line of death", or bad design, because obviously they lasted the first 25 years of the truck. This is just a critical oil-pumping point, and any line here that fails will pump out...

Nah, that fits in the receivers for the helicopter lifting bars!

Yeah, that's what they are. I just thought it was cool to point out, for those who are wondering how accurately it scans.

Maybe, but if the engine is that close to death already anyways is it really any different? In another 20 seconds the engine will die because of lack of oil, and you'll be in the exact same boat. I don't really buy it. But if you do believe that, hook it to a big red "tach shift light" on...

I don't think it controls anything like that now. I believe it just signals the alternator when the engine has made pressure and the alternator can start charging. But if you wanted it to shut down, you could tap off it.

There is already an oil pressure switch on the engine.

I just thought I'd share some 3D scanning I was doing today, in preparation for an upcoming project. You'll have to guess what. If you look closely, you can see some diagonal lines from the top right corner of the pintle box up to the top right (between the marker light and trailer plug)...

While that is true, they can flow less. Soft lines flow significantly less, even when straight and round, but then are generally bent. This leads them to be deformed and even more restrictive than hard lines also. This is why all the military soft lines are oversized for the fitting (e.g. 1"...

If you haven't fixed your other problems, of course you're going to continue to break stuff. Had he not broke the oil line again, he would have cracked the front aluminum housing next.
