    12V power for accessories

    Most constant duty cycle relays I come across at work are 50a, 100a, and 200a, I defaulted to the one that fails the most :smash:

    Ordered an isspro egt gauge. Still waiting to hear from Justin about the down pipe. So close to having this project done I can almost taste it.

    12V power for accessories

    If you use a constant use relay line cubey suggested, as long as its rated for the amperage of your desired use for key on devices, itlll be fine. Won't be hard to get, most are rated at 200 amps. I don't think you'll use that much.

    4 speed to ZF5 swap

    If its any help with your debate, I used a regular single disk tq converter in my in laws pickup when I built it for them. They use it to haul an in bed camper around that weighs about 3400 lbs full and it does just fine. I told them to just turn off thr O/D when doing big hills. Their engine is...

    4 speed to ZF5 swap

    Orange rtv alert!!!!! Actually that shouldn't be a problem, thats just the mating surface between the t case and the transmission itself. Makes it a butt to get apart, but also prevents them from loosening up. The green on the t case output housing makes me think it was a wrecking yard part at...

    4 speed to ZF5 swap

    If its orange rtv, thats a red flag for me. Ive never had good luck with car parts that had orange rtv squishing out of mating surfaces.

    EGT questions

    Ive had the turbo off several times, including when I just did the head work. I'm 100% sure its on right.

    EGT questions

    Info about it is here https://www.oilburners.net/threads/selling-upgraded-drop-in-fans.91077/ I had to squish it pretty considerably to get it to clear the bell of the transmission, plus slice a side of it and angle the flange a little more to mate to the turbo. Frankly I feel like it wasn't...

    Tach sensor

    You can desolder the eeprom chip that stores the mileage and tire size and move it over. That is also what I did. You could just reporogram the tire size and send it too, both are good options.

    Loose spindle nut can cause loose bearings, but it can also damage them.

    Front Hub - 1991 F350 4x2 Dually - How To Tell If Wheel Bearings Are Bad?

    Jack up the front end so the wheel is off the ground. Grab it at the top and bottom and try to rock the tire. Should be practically no movement at the hub. Rotate the wheel, should be smooth with no abnormal binding. If there is, remove caliper and try again to verify its not the brake hanging...

    EGT questions

    Wow that's actually reasonably priced, I'll talk to the wife about if I can order it now. What did you do for the down pipe?

    EGT questions

    @jwsfarrier yes I am still using the glowshifts. @Kdo58 where can I source a good down pipe? The one that came with my turbo kit I got from CDD didnt fit between my firewall and transmission, I had to manipulate it with a bench vice to make it fit, so it probably needs replaced. I see R&D...
