thankyou for the suggestions, after the initial startup and observed leak, it has not returned in about 700 miles of driving including plenty of cold mornings. It looks like it will stay on the backburner and hopefully be fixed by way of 6.5T install in a year or so. I have some milestones in my...

Hey all, about to head up to the snow for a week, completed the phone tablet holder with indoor outdoor thermometer and clock with the backlight wired to headlights. Probably have 30 hours in that! Replaced the brushes and front bearing on the alternator. Also got the idler pulley fabbed up from...

I am leaning to agree with you here. I am going to probably end up putting an idler in the mix eventually and see what happens. If I dig through my boneyard maybe I will find something I can mod up quick and cheap like. I dont mind the diesel clatter, but that belt twanging around like a one...

So the alternator to wp and crank pulley is very accurate. (Tops the pulley is out a 64th over the roughly 4" pulley) like you said it is almost impossible to measure the ps pulley and the AC... But they are very close. Wouldnt imagine them making that much strum on a belt that was in a...

I hope it is this easy! I eyeballed it (I have a pretty good one) and it did look okay, but I will measure it soon. to be clear, my setup has been converted to 12v and only retains the upper passenger alternator. It drives off of the crankshaft and shares the belt with the waterpump.

quick update and a question for you guys... so not much time has been had for working on the rig but it looks like soon I might be able to take it out for a snow trip. I dusted it off a bit in anticipation and found the alternator was not charging... it would kind of fishbite with the...

if they need a volounteer for a retrofit for good PR, let him know that I would happily let my rig be given the full treatment! :D

Hah hah.... cummins? I was actually thinking of going green and doing something like this https://www.autoblog.com/2020/10/02/ev-west-tesla-motor-conversion-chevy-ls-sbc-mount/

For not trying you are proving to be pretty good at it. I have had less work due to covid, was evacuated for a month due to fires, and and starting to slowly put the working pieces of my life back together and don't have the time for my planned camping trip. I dont even have the money to get...

Unless you are donating a good running 8.1 for me to swap in I don't really care about this tangent being part of this thread anymore. I already gave you my reasons. Please respect that and feel free to start your own thread about your cool setup. Really you do have a nice motor. It just has...

So I would like a show of hand on how many have a fuel mileage and maintenance logbook and who just relies on spitballing as far as overall motor health and performance? :D I have kept fillup journals on this and my worktruck since ownership... If you knew me you might be surprised to find that...

Nice motor! So a quick couple questions, what sort of mileage do you get with that combo? is the 4l80 retrofitted with a manual valvebody setup and if so how did that go and what do you think about it? I have mostly only read up on the standalone computers for the 4l80e. That said, the moter in...

That's for sure! from where we are the ridge over (1 mile away) has lots of spots where the fire had reached. My sisters place had lost their carport and crews stopped the fire at the house. Certainly scary and surreal. Left in the middle of the night driving through thick smoke filled skies...

Hello all, just a brief update. About a month ago I wrote a lengthy post on my phone while evacuated from some of the local wildfires. (I accidentaly deleted it and was too tired to rewrite it on my cell) The M1010 was my shelter on and off for a good month. Thankyou to all that gave advice and...

I read up a little more on haydens coolers and there are some other interesting things I thought I would add.... they have a plate cooler that is about the same size as the b&m and they rated it between 10,000-23,500 btus compared to the 29,200 rating the b&m gives There are more plates on the...

I hate to be contrarian but the btu rating on the 1299 is (hayden provides a range, not a single number which to me would imply the B&M cooler is using the top range # for BTUs) but anyways, at the low end of the hayden btu rating it is still %20 better than the B&M (36,500 vs 29,299 btu) and if...

It was fun, just wish I could get out for longer but damn them responsibilities and bills.... anywho, I think that putting it back to a pull fan configuration might net potentially %10 better cooling vs flipping the blade and polarity to make it a push fan as I have done, I am confident that the...

So I made it back all in one piece... almost 1000 more miles on the odo bringing the vehicle just over 15k. So first thing to address is that having the fan spinning proper and not fighting the airflow things are MAYBE noticeably better by a tad but the problem of climbing grades for the 700r4...

Going to be getting out for 9 days of camping so I will let you all know what the verdict on the trans fan/cooler with proper direction do for my 700r4 temps. Have a great weekend everyone!

I hope it is my problem entirely, blade is now flipped and polarity is reversed and it now pushes air the proper direction. given the fact that there was some clearance between the cooler and radiator and the low speeds involved I am not entirely sure that I will be able to call this one done...
