Kits have been shipping out at a pretty good pace and for now we are in stock if anybody needs one. Lots of good feedback coming in. We had one fitting leak which we immediately replaced and are waiting to get back to see what happened there but beyond that everything has been received with...
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...
The auger and bit I rent when I need them, they are $3500 to buy! But to fit them you need a FLU only bracket and custom hoses. That is what I have available. Not trying to get what I have in them back but something fair.
Guys I thought I would offer up my rear auger set-up for FLU419s. If you guys recall I got it all working but my soil was just too rocky being an old river bed. So what I have is the OEM bracket sold to the Army and two new hoses to attach to the auger and the bucket feed lines in the middle...
This mistake was entirely human error on my part. Somehow this order got marked as shipped and as such was given no additional scrutiny until I heard that it was not received and reconciled all the orders to see what happened. Being out of town when I found out just added more frustration...
Hey guys just a quick note. I have a couple of more kits ready to go before the next batch I can ship. After the 3rd it will be at least till the 15th before I can ship any more. Thanks for all the PMs.
Thanks for the report Ari. Using IR temperature measuring I am not really surprised at all. So much of the surface temps are from residual heat under the hood which is why not much can be derived by IR unfortunately as it is not measuring coolant temps but external surfaces temps only. The...
Start spraying Anti seize or WD40 etc into that master disconnect. Mine was rusted closed so yours might be rusted open. I have a new switch but since it freed up I have avoided tilting the cab a little longer with mine.
Sorry all for not posting for a bit, I was in Germany for a week busy with other tasks. FYI we might be testing these with the military soon for possible deployment at least with the Army so these might be in larger scale production soon.
There has been a lot of back and forth on how the...
Providing unbiased data means you would not trust any data I provide. Therefore I will stand by my testing and subsequent results and let the community of users provide you the 'unbiased' data on thier own. However I very much doubt that anything save GM offering the kits directly would...
