Someone ran the dryer vent up to the screened attic vent and is against building code. You need to get a roofer out there to install the proper vent termination.
This is why I love RU-vid! I would love to fix this properly, maybe you could send a video / picture of a correct termination . I would like to fix this properly, thanks
Seriously? First of all, a screen over a dryer vent is against building code. Secondly, the air is not venting properly underneath roof tiles. That will cause back pressure in the dryer vent system that could possibly force lint into the dryer cabinet. NOT GOOD!! That is the craziest damn thing I have ever seen regarding a dryer vent.
That black thing you put on the combustion air intake hose is actually a muffler, not an air filter. It is quite restrictive (you can find this out if you run your heater without it, then put it on and see the difference. You can hear the air whistle to get thru it. It needs more holes (about 3/8") drilled in it to be more free flowing so the fan won't labor to pull air in for one thing. And lining the inside with some kind of filtering cloth (I used charcoal cloth from a room air filter) will make a good air filter for the burn chamber. And replace the fuel line. It's garbage and is actually kinda dangerous!
After watching hundreds of videos on these types of heaters, I've pretty much come to the conclusion that they are basically all the same heater made by one manufacturer, (probably in the basement of a massage parlor in china somewhere) sold in different boxes (steel or plastic) and sold under a hundred different names with several different kinds of controllers and remotes. And the prices may vary of course. It's also been found that the 8KW doesn't exist, it's just another 5KW mislabled (several videos discuss this subject) The term , "plug and play" is also used losely as many have found if used right out of the box, can burn your house or vehicle down. So it is advised to do a complete inspection before using them no matter what you paid. Even the spendier ones have come poorly constructed from the factory. ("factory" is just a lose term used for the chinese basement where the children put them together) LOL. Just sayin'.
the concern i had which lead me to building my own in a pelican type case is how well the controller would stand up to an overnight rain shower. as such, my build allowed me to put the controller inside the case making it more weather resistant.
I extended the leads on mine to about 6 ft long , it then allows me to position it outside my tent and store the controller inside. I need to make a updated video
@@JoesRigsandRepairs I did that as well on mine (uploaded a video for reference) but I did find that the wires going into the controller to be finicky and would lost power to the controller. ended up having to buy a new controller that I ended up mounting on the inside. Something you may want to keep an eye out for. The wires started messing up within a damn week.
Hey what wheels are those and do you run spacers? What size tire are you running. I have the exact same setup but was going to go back to 16” wheels that clear tundra brakes
1 ) the fuel hose is not worth a fck 2) use small p-clips for fule hose or small tabs with zip ties.. 3) find a better video this guy has no clue the exaust goes on the inside 4) I can't take no more of this please please please don't update us
My 4runner on Reddit?! That’s wild hahah I never posted it there. I’m just a diesel mechanic , I won the S2k, which I sold due to a bad motor. But everything else I just find good deals
I'm actually looking for the right lug nuts so I can put my wheel caps back on. Are they the M12 x 1.50, and the hex size is 19mm or do you have a link? Thanks and great video!
