Love the fender modification.. might do that on the front to run 35s without much lift needed. My 1031 doesn't need any work on the rear. I still have years of wear on the 255s and they have been great on everything.
Since you have large diameter filler necks, you will have a 10 second pit stop at truck stops..they have two nozzles on each pump, one on each side. 10 seconds if you have an assistant riding shotgun. 20 gallons goes in real quick from real pumps.
Does the transmission lose Dextron? You could have a rear transmission seal which is draining into the transfer case. This can overload the transfer case seals due to heat from the flood. That is why the fluid level for Dextron is 4 inches lower..the fill hole is designed for gear oil. When...
Blackout switch? Left side toggle switches. Needs to be on SERVICE DRIVE. These control relays, check those. Download the -20 TM, it has wiring diagrams and troubleshooting.
If it starts, runs and drives, your issue is most likely with the blackout system. There are LED lights on all 4...
Smaller clutch will have less air movement for a given engine speed. But temperature of engagement may differ. 14032395 from the -34P crosses over to Hayden 2799 which is 41 doll hairs from the petrographic car parts dealer online.
Clutches are more reliable and just as efficient once spooled up and freewheeling cool. I notice the roar when first started and over 2000 RPM, just for a few seconds.
Electric fans have relays, brushes and sealed bearings, I've replaced at least 5 electric fan assemblies, only 1 fan...
Once a month for a few days keeps lube distributed and seals exercised. Now driving in 4H on hard roads will cause wear with hubs locked.
Driving a few miles with hubs disengaged in 4H isn't a problem either, the relative rotation in the hubs is similar, just different direction. And you get...
That is the design temperature, it can vary since it is controlled by a bimetallic spring coil. What it does is opens a valve inside, allowing silicone oil to flow between the housing and the driving plate. When cold, the oil is trapped by centrifugal force. When the bimetal spring opens an...
Since you have had the IP off, double check the function of the pump internals and correct assembly of the cover to pump. The governor pushes the linkage back, turning the metering valve closed. This is also how the shutoff cuts fuel flow. If the linkage does not move forward under spring...
Starting the engine will bring voltage down to 10.5 volts each..more voltage loss at the terminals.
I have not measured the required voltage for the fuel shutoff solenoid but it is possible. Solenoid coils have a knack of pulling a good in rush current, causing significant voltage drop. Check...
I wonder if any P400s are going to be surplus sold with red tags..or if they are scrapped?
I know they won't bore and upsized so it might be worth it to buy a junker and sleeve it..
Cast aluminum can be welded..cuts like hardwood with carbide tooling, if you don't mind the glitter bomb.
I suppose the additional capacity is for cooling since the engine has piston cooling jets.
Wiper motor draws 8 amperes at max speed. Funny as the blower draws 15 amperes.
If draw is more than 8 amperes, there is either an alignment issue or the motor has thrown a winding.
Check the starter. When you issue the start command, several things happen. A 12 volt signal is given to a relay, locally known as the Doghead relay or its modification. This converts the 12 volt signal into a 24 volt one. This signal energizes a solenoid on the actual starter to throw...
The capacitors are radio frequency noise filters to shunt high frequency to ground. They should have no DC resistance and only react to 10 kHz and above. But if the dielectric breaks down, they could bleed DC to ground. Simple DC resistance to ground with wiper motor off to verify.
There...
Slow wipers are usually a sign of mechanism alignment or the motor brushes going out. Check motor amperage, should be under 10 amperes. If too high, check alignment. If much lower, brushes are going out.
If you don't have a DC clamp meter, measure voltage at the motor with engine running...
