have a clean place to strip out the filter and clean the filter and housing frequently.. in my experience ash is very easily transferred so pay careful attention to not allowing it to get into the engine feed pipe when you remove the filter. You might even go so far as to start out by cleaning...
A pair of 5A noco’s would work great, just hook one to the appropriate + - posts of one inner/inboard and one outer/outboard(farthest from the frame) battery.
would highly recommend dropping to just 2 batteries in series if you have not already done so. The battery-alternator size mismatch is...
The one started by the creator when he introduced them. Page 36, post #710… and I did remember correctly, 123&10 are off, the rest are on…, that from Mike the creator of the ecohub… look closely at the dip switch, they are numbered and usually indicate the on or off position of the...
Noco, or victron. We haveca couple nocos at work, i like them…
The noco dual outputs are isolated and can hook up in series, one -output gnd and the + output to 12. And the second output - to 12v and + to 24v. This will compensate for any vampire loads and float both to proper charge levels...
I haven't found too much schematic info on the aux cooler plumbing, what i know i have gleaned from pics and discussions with those who have deleted or modified.
basically you have an output and an input line on the right side of the trans. These connect to a thermal mixing valve with an...
“Mostly they made mining and rail equipment” … and it shows:)
Oooh I like the dash hood, never noticed that before, may have to make one of those for mine…
Yea,I havn’t seen anything like that in any of my wanderings thru the drawings… ecm fan control feeds the fan solenoid and the aux fan relays in parallel/simultaneously via the fan override switch.
one thing the ECU may do is be predictive and roll on the fan earlier than 205 based on rate of...
Another option is to make a flat plate one that lays flat on the dash with a curved front that extends out to almost touch the windshield. The gap you leave determines airflow, or you could even make triangle or half round passages on the edge, to form air ”nozzles”.
Plenty of room beneath a...
Well in the first pic, that doesn’t look like rust on the hose support plate(trans cooling hoses), it looks like an oil leak and accumulated dust/dirt. Since that is under and to the rear of the turbo, they may be related…
could be a turbo drain gasket in pic 2. Need to get the truck and...
Yea I am not sure what engine temp the ECU is programmed for. General surely knows. I am planning on connecting my trans temp and engine temp senders to the oil sample ports near the trans cooler And on the engine oil cooler. Don”t have a need for the oil sample ports.
this won’t tell you...
What truck and engine? As far as I have seen the aux cooling fan relay is piggybacked off of the engin cooling fan circuit. On the A0, triggered by the 205F coolant switch in the upper rad pipe. On the A1 controlled by the ECU engine temp fan setting.
there is a thermostatic bypass valve that...
Driving a diesel around above the peak torque RPM is like driving with an exhaust brake on due to all the added pumping losses. You burn a bunch of extra fuel and create a bunch of added engine heat to overcome those pumping loads Then there is the added losses from the 6 gearboxes at the...
What General said
You are probably never going to get to the weight and conditions that aux cooler was intended to deal with. Your system has the same heat exchanger all the other trucks have, you can simply plumb the trans out and in direct to the cooler by removing the thermal mixer, and...
