I put the adjustable one in mine.
They wont magically give you more power, but if you are having problems they are a fairly cheap place to start throwing parts. As said they are prone to failure on our old motors.
This is where I’m at on two different trucks.
Will have to see if I can find the instructions for the throttle linkage MWO. Seems like I remember it outlining the position. If nothing else, you can always go back to where it is now if you don’t get the desired result.
Do you have a load tester? If not I’m sure you can improvise. In an old battery open voltage is not a very good indicator of condition. If you leave the other two in the truck, just the load of the lights will probably prove there junk (test each 12v individually under load to find a bad one...
This looks like the stuff we used to use. Guessing we got it from NAPA, or Car-quest? Not sure if you want to cover to whole thing in RTV, should only need it on the joints where you have a break on the corners.
This is what I used for mine. If your not on a budget, have a radiator shop reseal the tanks for you. Not too difficult if you have to do it yourself. Used to be able to buy narrow rolls of cork gasket with adhesive on one side, and use a dab of permatex on the seams, been a long time though
There are a lot of heavy haulers in California, they may rent you a weight box reasonably cheap. It wouldn’t be very cost effective to build your own for a one time use.
Can you post a pic of what you have going on? I may have a line that I could trade you. I would use bronze, but I think you will need o2 to get enough heat. Other than that if you can solder a refrigerant line you should have no problem brazing.
Lucked into a bunch of free angle!
I wish I would have gotten a picture of my crate and the bottom of my welding table before I loaded this rack.
Large diameter pipe works really well for a short rack also.
Don’t forget when calculating your loads that you have about 2,000lb per rear axle/2 tires that is under the bags and not carried by them. I was looking at some longer travel 5” diameter bags a few years ago. IIRC, the idea stalled out due to the CTIS hoses being in the way.
