Made it back from about a 500 mile trip and I have some more feedback about the 700r4 now that the fan can be controlled manually and the temp switch is at the pan. My take at this point is that I am really worried about summer. The first night getting out there I needed to pull over to keep the...

This sounds like the way to go, thankyou

I guess I meant seize.... how much can you expect a properly torqued clean bolt to seize within 8 months? This is california, not on the coast and no salted roads.... I contacted my friend who manages the tire place and he was clear that all lugs are hand torqued (no torque stick or impact) and...

Trying to get out on another snow trip, after tidying up all my wiring projects and putting the dash back together I started it up and found my flare job was not sealing at the radiator. Called up the local hose shop and indeed they do make a flare bushing to help here. Both stainless and copper...

any updates? I would say one last thing you could do is just put the fridge right next to the starting batteries and hook it up with the factory lead and see how it runs. Keep a voltmeter on the actual battery (do not care what the fridge says) and if the battery voltage drops below 12v (or even...

I have gotten a bit of work done on three wiring projects. I have rewired the cooling system for the tranny and while I have not run it yet to check the temp switch, the manual switch activates it as well as the blinky red led in the gauge. Not sure how visible it will be along with the regular...

So a question for anyone here more familiar with truck guts.... I am parting out a 2001 3500HD as an engine donor for my work truck, some things I do not want to go to waste and will consider putting the tall mirrors, maybe the fuel tank if it fits, as well as the nice floor mat, are there any...

Hope you made some progress.... just thought I would add that while my m1010 already was 12v only I would be hesitant to say that running at 27v is a bad thing. That is 13.5v/battery. I watch the charge on both my m1010 now and my 6.5l 91 sierra and both of them will vary the voltage depending...

I hope I was clear in my post that my "running" measurements were the fridge running, I never started the truck at all. That said Id be curious to see what the voltage was if you spike in to the cord near the fridge. It should stay above 24v at that point (truck off fridge on) and then unplug...

That is 11.8v per battery. Where and how are you taking this measurement? If you draw your batteries down past that you are starting to harm them. I would say that even this is too low. Is this reading taken under load? (sounds like it) if so what do they come up to after 30 seconds of no load...

I have that fridge, just run it off a leisure 12v battery and have never had any issue. This sounds like it could be a wire gauge issue as mentioned above. How many total feet of wire are you running from the fridge to the power supply and what gauge? I cut the stock wire as close as I could...

Got some work done today, took of the brush gaurd and grill so I could route the ss trans cooler lines. All went well with that, I also took the opportunity to clean up the wiring while there was access. I am changing how the fan is fed as pictured with the temp switch directly bolted to the...

can't wait for a video and beamshots of the big front lights!

Ok, So I have made it back from my trip, went from sea level to about 5500' and totaled about 600 miles since the install. I am glad that everything went really well. The transmission shifts assertively, will hold 2nd in both heel and toe better than the th400 as far as how I want it to behave...

Ok, well sorry I have not been putting up any pics... the other day the camera on my phone died... I will have to take some when I get a chance but today I did the setup, break in/test drive and can say that it works well. I definately made some mistakes. the guide said to use a 300psi gauge if...

So today I went and finished the cooler fan wiring (30 breaker->ignition driven 40a relay-> temp switch at fan->~20A fan) Then I went to adjust the tv cable and no wonder it did not seem right, it seems for whatever reason I was sent the wrong cable from BO even though I had sepcifically used...

I did mention I had not yet adjusted it. My question is if all that is supposed to be on the stud is the slotted end of the rod with nothing else retention wise. Thankyou for the adjustment tips, I will o that tomorrow in the daylight and note all my pressures and be in touch with BO before...

Ok, quick question.... got the tv bracket on (required pulling temp sending unit) and everything hooked up nicely (have not adjusted it yet. I had to pull the rod all the way to the end to clear the stud on the injection pump bracket. At that point does the slotted connector just float there...

Something I just learned right now is that yes I would need to modify the inspection cover to clear the starter and out of curiosity I tried my old one and it fits like a glove. Looks like I will have a nice shiny inspection cover for sale soon. Th400 cover part# 14036187 New 700r4 cover (does...

Pics from yesterday, should have it all done today or tomorrow. I left the square cut seal only as I figured it is an either or and worst case it seeps and I have to dig back to it. Got the brace in, transfer case is in, linkages are all connected, outstanding is the tv cable, cooler (I am...
