Another 700r4 conversion I think I am ready to start doing more camping in this thing but the lack of OD is really making for long excursions.... so I read until I have a fairly good idea about what all is required and am %95 made up to go with the conversion kit from PATC for simplicity but...

I found this thread by reading up to see if Sharecropper had gone through with the 700r4 install yet.... planning on going with the kit from PATC myself as it does seem like they get you all of what you need.... Anyhow, this is an area where I may be able to help. I too share your anxiety about...

While I am by no means an authority I will give my opinions where they may be helpful... I have not looked at the fasteners too close but imagine they are aluminum rivets. To keep it simple I would imagine that you could drill em out and use the gasket to make a template on some fresh...

about done with the winch bumper So it has been about a month and a half of free time but I am getting close to calling it complete. Hidden winch bumper with storage... I know it is a little bling but the fire department trim is what I am working with at the moment so I am working with that...

did not spell it out but in the sketch near the outlet I drew an overpressure relief valve (OPRV.... just looked and I guess the correct term is just pressure relief valve but I have heard people call it an overpressure relief valve) that will go near the quick connect fitting. I will check the...

You are totally right!That would be the best and most hassle free way to do it. I was planning on insulating the exchanger and water lines and eventually the tank will get a winter jacket. In summer it should stay hot without it as long as there is sun. Thankyou for the insight... time to figure...

I just double checked and you are correct. Too many things on the brain I assumed there was a valve. So it looks like it may be a little simpler to put a 4 port bypass valve on the coolant feed instead of tees. Cable operated and I could then stick a roller switch on the lever and have it...

That is the service light switch, I was asking about the momentary b/o drive light switch.... Anywho when I got the truck (m1010) it had this mod. I had seen the headlights flicker a few times and upon inspection the spade terminals were blue from over heating! Proper gauge wires were there so...

So it is getting closer to falling temps and some winter camping trips so the water heater is getting closer to top of the list (winch bumper is getting closer to completion)... and I have a plumbing question/crossroad. I have kind of scribbled out a diagram and I know there will be many ways to...

I just read over the sections that cover this in the manual. Thankyou! While it does mention the self centering feature of the switch it does not specificly state that the switch is a momentary and will turn the lights off when not held. Thankyou again for clearing up that confusion! Blackout...

mine wont stay in the on position.... anyone have one? Shipping to 95006, thanks!

We got the CFX95DZ and of the three outings it has seen use it is great! Really quiet and efficient. I did not remember how much it actually draws... I think around 3 amps but it does not cycle too much and if it is hot then the solar makes plenty to keep it covered while still keeping the...

started a winch bumper getting some progress made for the winch bumper, it came with dual receivers front and back so I had a big head start. Planned for it to be able to go front or back. Need some more bracing and I decided to go all aluminum diamond plate clad as it matches existing. Will...

I saw these after I picked up the one I have. Mine also came with a pump and am pretty sure it had been run for water heating as far as the heated liquid goes and could run water through it for a bit in a closed loop and have it tested for anything scary if there was any reason that there might...

been a while... went on some nice trips so far and everything feels like it is coming together, maybe even past the halfway point on things to do. I took it out and got into the snow a touch, the heater worked great! Now I am thinking about the showering system and while I have a good plan on a...

I just did it 3 times in the dark and it was raining by the last go.... and then once today after I finished welding things. Its really not that bad. Especially if you leave the nut on and thread it through the plate. Anyways, I may change my mind once I am older but there is a mountain of...

Nice job!! I was wanting to do this myself, what did you use for the chrome accent around the black on the door panels... paint or foil? Looks awesome!

Thankyou for the offer but for me I am good as is, I am just about to go and make the final adjustments and I am almost positive using my hilift as a lever I will be able to get the plate high enough to make it onto the threads enough to get the tightening nut started. I am not the biggest guy...

Nice truck!! So as I am looking into the horizon on my own build (M1010) changing the transmission is a must. I have read a lot of people doing the 4l80e and getting frustrated that it made me lean towards having a bulletproof 700r4 built. The 700r4 has a little better spread on the gearing but...

It is very doable, just not fun. If you were on level ground and dont mind getting on your back and dragging it around under there... then once it is "jawed" in the open support you could just rig up a lever/fulcrum under the outside of the support using your jack or whatever as the lever. I...
