Yeah I was hoping he would drop some more videos after he finished the initial semi-complete build of his box but he's kind of dropped off the radar... Life happens and gets in the way of our plans sometimes...Hey thanks, I was trying to find the dude who installed an electric hydro pump and this is him so thank you for that. Also interested in that little dryer as well so searching for some more details on it. Not really a fan of the the tank setup but definitely some good ideas throughout.
EDIT: I found the dryer but it’s 12v. Still brings up a good thought on replacing the OE dryer while I’m in the process of relocating. Gonna keep digging.
Here's a 24 volt one I found online. I don't know if it's compatible with hosing sizes and capacity etc but anyway here you goHey thanks, I was trying to find the dude who installed an electric hydro pump and this is him so thank you for that.

I will have to think on it some more, I did consider that briefly but unsure of the path of the crossover hose and the risk of it getting damaged being at a low point.If you want the tanks to be the same level all the time just put a crossover line on the bottom of both tanks and gravity will do the rest like on twin tank semi trucks
Did you find out what the item in the picture was and did it have a cat part number?![]()

Whatever this is, don’t think it’s a temp sensor…a switch maybe? I’ve still gotta look it up in the TMs. This port is plugged on every other 3126 manual I’ve seen so far.
Yes it’s a thermistor which senses coolant temp to inhibit the cold start ether system above a certain temperature. Here is the link to one sold for the 3116 which I highly doubt a different part number was used for the 3126. Last I checked several months ago I couldn’t find one in stock but may try this one out.Did you find out what the item in the picture was and did it have a cat part number?
if that part in the pic is identified as a thermal resistor, it is probably not for the ether system.Yes it’s a thermistor which senses coolant temp to inhibit the cold start ether system above a certain temperature.

Then that is probably S40, a 35F thermal snap switch. Above 35f coolant temp it disables ether control…I would have to look into it a little more but pretty sure I traced the wire tag back to the ether system. It’s been a few months though so…
