I tried taking mine apart as well maybe 3 times, but this valve is very troublesome. A much easier and cheaper fix is mentioned in my previous threads. If your concerned about keeping the truck orginal, then just take the valve out and store it somewhere. Mine did the same thing, leaking and it...
I put in the 24 volt solenoid and mounted it on top of the crossover pipe where the top radiator is bolted . I temporarily disconnected the ether button to hooked the power to the solenoid to the existing ether pushbutton. It works like a champ! The fan engages when i push the ether button...
M35 AZ --- Doing some more thinking about what you did to your truck. You mentioned using a N/C thermal switch which means 24 volts will be continuously supplied energizing the solenoid , so if the solenoid is n/c which means that the air is halted to the fan clutch preventing air passing to...
I am thinking of doing the same, but need some kind of part list and how you constructed yours. It looks like in your previous picture , that you have a thermostat controlled electric tap into the water crossover piping then two electrical leads going to a flat solenoid but thats where the...
Thank you M35-A2 , but there was a member here whom set up an air solenoid system with a manual switch in the cab that im thinking that must be normally closed that blocks the air from going through to the inlet side of the fan clutch to "trick" the clutch in not sensing air so that it does not...
