Our Famely (Mother in Law) was former Sudentenland/Böhmischdorf now it is Czech/ Česká Ves
Would be nice to see their past. Just an extra-route about 80 km 😍 Unfortenatly Mother in Law died 2018 in the age of 92. She saw her area and her farm they had there for generations in 2015 again. She...
We had a lot of "Fun" yesterday during we finished the electronic shifting for Dakota and Compushift on the 4L80e Transmission and we noticed we had missed our wiring diagrams for the cab to go on there :mad:
Well an option was to drive home and pick them up or continue with other work...
We...
Electric go on...
passengerside nearly ready - just some minor things to do
Also Dakota Digital is mostly done on the device
the exchangeable lightbar make also progress
I dont know how it is in USA - here you have to use reflectors Trailer triangle, and Vehicle all shapes beside...
if you think you have a big truck and enough space to bring all your additional devices in good space... will you learn that it is still a small one
The additonal lights and devices need 8 relays and several fuses and connections
One Fusebox is behind the speaker but this is not at all
We need...
We couldnt resist to build our own design for a Fire-Barrel
got them from here Elbfighter
Elbfighter has implemented our template very well using laser cutting
Now let's tackle the electrics. First of all, a bit of tidying up before we start connecting the Dacota Digital and the additional devices
Very timeconsuming - progress is slow
But I'd rather be slow and thorough than make a mistake somewhere that can take an infinite amount of time to find again
Still waiting on the lock nut for the electrical sockets in the firewall. I could got immediatly plastic nuts but i want metal nuts like the sockets itself. So i have to wait. That mean the eletrical wiring have again a downtime
Meanwhile, we took care of the braking system
This is the first...
Merry Chrismas and thanks you can follow my English. In my mind does i translate just german to english but we have different sentence structure. I guess it will be funny to follow that. Not to forget the grammar.
About the vehicle requirements - well I have now a lot of experience with the...
We finished the tank assembly and bringing all electrical wiring to the front
a documentation of that wiring make sense
also to use waterprotected connectors
the worst part in that job was to make new holes in the firewall on the passenger side
We use the same waterproof connectors like on...
it exists - how could it be otherwise - rules and regulations for measurement of the noise on vehicles in Germany
Any aftermarket muffler muss fullfill these measurements
The Sierra LBZ Duramax have similar values 90 dBA Stand and 78 dBA drive ahead. I like to have a dual exhaust system for him...
It must be quiet as we have value for noise by stand beside and drive ahead in the vehicle documents which will be controlled if you be in trafficcontrol and an officer guess it is to loud. You lost roadlicence if you fail.
Of this we used silent Flowmaster muffler.
"Difficult" will be the...
Finally the exhaust system is finished
heatprotection for the speedsensor and the rubberbushing of torque-support of the NP205
also on the fuel distribution of the dualtanks
i wonder if we will got roadlicence with the muffler just 1 cm away from the brakelines.
But this was before the...
Still working on the exhaust system
Unfortunately you cant go to the next shop and buy what you need.
Nothing is common here.
We need to use a reducer on the passenger side from the front tube - however
First we had the wrong one and now with the right one is again a lot of prepare on the ends...
Installed the mil trailer electric
And the driveshaft front
Rear
I need to buy still the bolts for the Np205 yoke. They are not the same like in the rear
NP205
A lot of other duties prevent a big step forward on the CUCV
To bring the old exhaust tubes with the new mufflers in place is again a lot of custimizing necessary
We need to protect the additional parts under the truck of the heat. Fortunately there is a lot of avialable which can be used for...
after complete the column-shifting found we the next challenge on the exhaust system
the exhaust tube running really near to the speedsensor so that we need to protect the sensor of this heat or install in other wise...
also the rubberbearing of the NP205 could involve of heat
Fortunately...
As we started the adjusting of the cable shifter was obviously that the instructions was not correct
Although we certainly have a stock steering column, the mounting in hole B was wrong.
After minor adjustments to the firewall bracket was then a smooth shifting possible
Rest of the day...
