What size welding machine did you use? I mostly tig everything. So my migraines machine is only 140amps. I dont think thats enough. I dont want to chance. What do you think?
The brackets are 1/4" thick but I think the tube wall on the axle and crossmember is closer to 1/8, so its a maybe depending on technique. I use a miller 255 or 252.
You should show more of your leveled caliber kits for the obs Chevys and think about facing up custom upper and lower control arms for us k1500s we get no love anymore 😢
$300 or so for the kit is great and seems a hell of an improvement over stock. When replacing the tensioner is this a Cummins part number? I read over the website but I may have missed that detail.
just installed your tensioner on my 6.0 Supercharged Ls and it fixed my belt issue. Great part , wish i would have found this before spending thousands to address this issue.😊
When you make the Steel Replacement assembly for the Twist in Slave Master Cyl what keeps the Slave Master from Unscrewing, Friction or a Detent Notch? Thank You.
Just installed your design in my 2005 silverado today. Such a nice piece and now I have total confidence in my clutch pedal. I broke the plastic one about 7 years ago. I knew it was only a matter of time before that factory plastic was gonna fail again. Thanks for making a solution to that problem spot!
Nice build! Not sure if your setup is still the same as in this video, as it's a few years old, but I run a similar setup with a pair of cwa250 pumps. I run one inch lines and the two pumps overcome the added resistance from the smaller lines without an issue. The main difference that I wanted to note is I also included 5 volt reference as an input for my pwm controller to reference. So I hooked up a generic 3 bar map sensor and that signal feeds my pwm controller. So I can have the pumps be off at idle or vacuum and the flow scales up with boost. So my water flow is boost referenced and this helps keep my cold water cold for longer because I'm not cooling the air that doesn't need to be cooled. I only need cooling when I'm under boost and any other time the water's flowing it's just warming it up even though I'm not trying to make any power. Since doing this I've been able to switch from a 10 gallon ice box to a 5-gallon ice box, saving about 80 pounds. There's a guy on eBay selling a controller with an integrated 5 volt input reference so it has everything you need in one compact unit. A little intimidating to set up but his instructions on the eBay listing are adequate for getting it up and running without too much hassle. I recommend giving it a try, although it's significantly more expensive than the $12 controller you use, he asks for about 80 bucks for his controller. But it's worth the money in my opinion for having adequate control of your flow to preserve your cold air for when you actually want it. The other edition that I made to my setup is an intercooler sprayer over my heat exchanger in the front to amplify the cooling of the water circuit if you're doing back-to-back runs where you might get heat soak in your water circuit. Anyway just wanted to share a couple things that other people who see your video might find value in when they're optimizing their A2W system
What about the all metal clutch pedal and all on ebay? For $250?im trying to figure how to get that bracket in without having to remove the dash? @@atomic178
I have been looking at you’re coil over kit for my 03 avalanche, haven’t pull trigger to buy it just yet, finances aren’t in right place to do it just yet
Can this be installed on an avalanche? I’m also doing a t56/ AWD conversion and will be using the front 4/5” coil over kit you’ve created. More than likely going with the 14 bolt semi-floating rear as well so I’d assume getting them welded on PRE install would be the best option or would mounting the 14 bolt semi-floating rear end in first be best?
I was going to do the torch method but for fire reasons I pulled the line out and now I am just going to bend all new copper Nickle line, they flare easier. I do not use the universal double flare tool, I have the 1/4 inch specific one and still can’t stop it from slipping.
Try to grind away a light layer of material on the inside of one of the dies. This will allow it to squeeze the tube a little more. Not to much as you will crimp and make it so the fitting will not slide down to the flare. Hope this helps.
Do the poly mounts really reduce vibration? I just picked up a Colorado with the V8 been getting it dialed in, runs good, just needed a lot of attention because of a little neglect. I bought the Energy Suspension trans mount, next is the motor mounts..
No, when welded level with the frame they have approximately 1" of space to the bed. On the passenger side you may need to remove or trim the heat shield if you need additional clearance.
Very cool build who cares if it’s been done before. You’re doing it and learning how to make the setup better from your own experiences. I’m working on a similar project but on a ford platform and hope I can make it as cool as yours.
