I've been meaning to put something together. I will soon when I get back stateside. I warn you it's a big work in progress lol Here's a few video's: https://youtu.be/R3pNVfJBQyo?si=268Kb_suB_EsLfdu Hopefully those work I don't wanna crowd your thread. It's awesome you're tinkering...

I too have been goofing with an RV lately 😆 Good times! Mike

this is the best shot of the dessicant/drier location i have: Heat shield: AC compressor bottom left: Now I wanted to adjust the flow in the low setting so i got a few resistors to make a temporary mock up (starting to seem permanent :) ): Anyways it works great: I get about 36* out...

Variable displacement requires a 4-way switch because the clutch will not cycle like a traditional compressor so you need to cycle the fans with pressure: wiring diagram: One of several sub-harnesses: And because this is an off-road truck here's the mercury switch:

More lines and a harness for the rear fans: Lots of what you see was temporary for the proof of concept. Leak test: Lines for the compressor side:

Lots of funkiness' to get that duct around the defrost tube as well: Here's all the special parts: Made some little lines to a bulkhead fitting (ignore all that terrible wiring that as the last part of this project): Get the thermal shutoff to prevent freezing (not really needed for...

Next step was the compressor. This part was easy for me because my engine had a spot for a bad ass mechanical variable displacement compressor: The biggest challenge was to get a proper evaporator and have it fit below the glove box: Insulation to reduce sweating: And the worst part was...

Ok its been a few years now since I built the AC system in this thing but I will do my best to share the cliff notes on it. It all started when the COVID lockdown left me with too much time on my hands so I started going down my list. AC was on the list. Not really for me because I like to...

After the last trip I really hammered on the truck and wanted to go over everything. I found that both my front wheel bearings lost a little preload. Before: After: I also went through and re-torqued the transfer case fasteners: 0.041" wire just because I can. Another camping trip to my...

In other news I took the truck on a few trail rides up in the mountains: My buddy came out from NY and got the trail treatment (it was his first time 4 wheeling): I built a ducted fan using a brushless brake duct fan from on of the racecars: It doesn't hang as low as it looks. Its just...

I think stuffing the shifter boots with microfiber towels might have been the most dramatic haha

I have a little time right now so here are a few updates. First I finished up the rear air shock/spring project I was dabbling with before I took my year abroad. Here are some pictures showing the mounting and reinforcement: The ping tank and the plumbing with he solenoids: Its a tough...

Good afternoon, Unfortunately I changed too many things at the same time to give you comprehensive answer. I want to say that it helps, but I am not sure the magnitude. Mike
