Anymore input or thoughts on my idea?

I have the 12v version but without the built in controller. In my research, lots of people having failures of the built in one, typically within 6 months. Why I opted to go the route I did. The fan itself works really well and is quiet. Just wouldn't trust the built in controller.

Having been in the hot rod world for almost 4 decades, straight blade fans are VERY noisy. You and everyone around you will know when it is running. Personally, I would look at S blade fans. Most OEM fans have gone this way because of noise issues. If you want a very high CFM fan, you might...

Hi all, This past weekend I installed a Gear Vendors OD unit and as part of this I needed to top off the transfer case fluid. It appears it was low as I had to add about 2.5 quarts of the 5 the stock NP208 takes (plus about .5 extra for the additional GV adapter). Well this apparently showed...

I recently moved from a mechanical fan to an electric fan setup in my '48 Chevy Sedan as I needed better cooling at idle and low speeds (think stop and go traffic). I did a ton of research on fans and controllers. There are a lot of fan options out there but for my space and needs, I used a...

Well, I was able to pick up the NP208 adapter from Gear Vendors (they are local to me) and did the mechanical install on June 27th. Got the measurements for the new driveshaft and picked that up from the shop on July 2nd. Spent a few hours on the 3rd and 4th doing in the wiring and fluids and...

If you find anyone interested in the heater... have them talk to me too. I have two of them I will give away. :)

Thanks for the props on the gauges. Very happy how they came out. Honestly, I would be looking to replace the batteries with higher CCA unless the ones you have are brand new. It sucks but if you need to replace one, I would replace both with the higher rated one. Sounds like you are just...

He did not say test the batteries but check the output of alternators (" testing the voltage coming into each of the batteries "). My guess is the lower alt is not putting out the right voltage/current. It should be close to 28v. When I bought my current one, it was converted to "Plan B" and...

I have been doing some different projects on my M1010. Installed some Jeep JK Wrangler seats on custom built brackets I made. Also installed a Gear Vendors OD and waiting for the driveshaft to be built. Need to wire that up. Hopefully will have that done this weekend.

This is coming out sweet! I like your rivet pattern on the bed support piece. ;)

yeah, some are, some are not reversible. Fingers crossed it works. I know on my '48 Chevy, moving less then 10mph, it forces enough air that is would drop my radiator temps, with the mechanical fan, even at low RPM. I converted to an electric so that is not a problem anymore. :)

Yeah, that's your problem. If mounted in front of the radiator, you must have the fan moving air the same direction as air flows through the radiator. It needs to go from the front side to the engine side. If you are "pulling" forward, not only are you fighting airflow when you are driving...

So.... I don't think you have a condenser in front of the radiator unless you added it. I was surprised when I pulled the radiator and I was like "WTH?" Then I remembers, all of the condensers are up in the overhead A/C unit. That's why the A/C line run from the compressor to the box and no...

That's because it needs 12v to trigger the relay, not what is being passed through the large terminals. Because of the CUCV 24v starter, it needs the relay to allow the standard 12v dash/key system to trigger a 24v starter circuit. You are good.

Allows me to run a slip spline driveshaft and if I am ever out and have some issue with the rear end or u-joints I can pull the driveshaft and/or axle shafts and be able to use the front wheel drive to get me out. With a slip yoke, you can't remove the driveshaft and drive it. Just read about...

I happened to be on FB Marketplace doing some random searching Saturday night and ran across an ad for a almost new Gear Vendors OD unit. Made deal to meet up Sunday afternoon and drove 2 1/2 hours north and 280 miles round trip. This thing is mint and almost had zero use. Guy installed it on...

They should be 4.5" BS

Also on Amazon, that is where I bought mine recently. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GV77H2U

Not cheap but one of the best is Toyo Open Country M/T. I have these on my M1010 in 255/85-16. I am on a bunch of offroad and overland forums and Toyo's almost always end up at the top of the list, other than price. That has been the only negative item about them.
