For the first time in 38 days, the cab is up ! Hydraulic hoses took a bit to figure out since it was such a compact form factor but they're on there and don't have much strain on the fittings, if any. I replaced the hoses going to the frame passthru but made sure to bleed all the old...

Waiting on another hydraulic hose to ship but got the pump put back together, printed a 1/8" spacer for the bottom of the selector (the plastic knob is co-planer with the mounting surface), and started assembly of the fittings that had dedicated places/orientations with some Loctite 545...

I also posted the files for the reservoir snorkel I designed if anyone wants to print one themselves. Open to any design suggestions but seemed fairly straightfoward. Prince Wolverine Hydraulic Reservoir Vent Snorkel by Aviator4x4 - MakerWorld or Prince Wolverine Hydraulic Reservoir Snorkel...

I got the pump and brackets prepped and painted yesterday/today. Small parts so I used some rattle can Rust-Oleum Farm & Implement, Gray Primer followed by Rust-Oleum Farm & Implement, Low Gloss Black. I'll let it sit for 24hrs and then assemble it.

Brackets are in and look good. Successful test fit, got the hole drilled, and working on hydraulic hoses now !

Basically just waiting on those OshCut brackets to be delivered (FedEx says Monday !) and doing little things around the truck. This fitting was broken when I bought the truck but came right out with a medium size extractor from the ProjectFarm recommended IRWIN Screw Extractor, Spiral Flute...

Thanks for the tip ! I was trying to compare quotes between oshcut and sendcutsend (which only accepts dxf, step, stp, to my knowled) but... sendcutsend wouldn't recognize my bend lines so figured screw em haha.

They make printing so easy. Literally out of the box. It's crazy how much they closed the gap between a Stratasys (who is now sueing them) and a 3d printer from even 3yrs ago, even a markforge or similar.

After 4 different re-designs and 7 printed prototypes I finally got the brackets ordered from Oshcut. I ordered them in .135" (10ga/just over 1/8") CorTen steel like shipping containers are made out of. Quite a bit of the truck is also made from CorTen steel and it's pretty ideal for...

haha caught that did you... maybe 12oz ? The Allison dealer said the only place to source those thrust washers is Allison itself, and that no distributors (at least east of the Mississippi) had any. Which makes sense for a low volume/somewhat niche part. Parts guy who helped me was shocked...

I am now the owner of the worlds most expensive thrust washer ! Once I'm done with the hydraulic system, I'll crack open my transmission to fix the valve body leak I probably caused, and see what the state of my C6 is... while making the swap to ATF, and hopefully not damaging any of the wiring...

Makes sense. Thanks for the reassurance, I'll scratch it from my worry list which is already full enough. I only added it to my list to look into since have some lingering distrust of fluid to fluid coolers based on my 2.8L duramax "trans cooler" which was in the bottom 2" of the radiator and...

Good point, and over-cooling is a real thing. Has there been many/any reported instances of the fluid->fluid exchanger leaking one fluid into the other ? Coolant into the trans, or vice versa ? Yessir, EcoHubs are on my shelf awaiting install. And then updating the RPM in the ECM + enable...

Currently have a prototype of my pump mount on the 3D printer. The Metro Six Port - Two-Position Double Selector Valve will mount on the left where the 2 holes are, which sits below the bed. I didn't model it because the dimensions available for it were... not great. Should be delivered today...

I'm jealous of quite a few things on your truck, those shocks being one of them ! I've definitely stalked your build thread previously and recognized your name. I'll take a look again. Maybe I'll see one of those M1088 coolers pop up for sale on here or elsewhere for a good price. If not...

I have no rahgrets about the kit. Not one single letter. Even though fedex wants a direct signature and I'm going to be out of town for 2 weeks, hopefully my wife can sign for it ! Btw what oil cooler did you use for your trans cooler between the frame rails ? Do you remember if the ends are...

Mine were 1/0AWG cables with the 100A stock alternator. I feel more comfortable running that amperage with 2/0AWG, and should have less voltage drop as well. This is my go to chart, from Blue Sea, whenever I'm running current carrying wiring. I deleted the PPD and ran ANCOR 2/0AWG Marine...

Manual setup Ronmar specified should be delivered tomorrow. Took about an hour but I got the hydraulic manifold removed and all the lines tagged/bagged. Seems like the manual pump will fit well right where the manifold was in a 1/8-3/16" laser cut/CNC bent steel bracket with at least...

Good to know ! I am planning on painting my LMTV in Rustoleum Farm and Implement Enamel Massey Ferguson grey and low gloss black, but I'll see what the deal is with this Majic stuff. I imagine they're quite similar with Majic maybe being a store brand version of the Rustoleum.
