Thank you. This thread helped me today. All went smoothly.

See my post #714 above: Charcoal Canister - Great Option! - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/charcoal-canister-great-option.412261/post-16271314 Easy. I finally did one last week. Super easy. It is written up in a few places, but Randy's was easy to follow and I know him! Randy's / Precision...

Ignore or remove. It is open top and bottom. Simply runs into the frame rail.

ahh, now I see that one is a double stack! I missed that. 👍

Pictures of where I put foam this weekend. Pics 1 & 2: Top front face of radiator to cross - the most obvious - and ALL forward facing sides and bottom to front clip just like on an OE radiator (I used Frost King R734H Sponge Rubber Foam Tape 3/4" W X 7/16" H X 10' L, Black. Quantity was just...

Top is same as I had. Do you mean the cap on the bottom? I have taken that off to see what was there. There is about a 1/2 - 1" opening in the center. Some concentric rings presumably form a baffle effect. I first removed the under-cap when I installed it to my stock 80 years ago. Seeing that...

Both the VC120 and stock 80 vapor canisters are open to the atmosphere through the vent on the bottom. Consider if your V8 system used a sealed tank system (which my 2004 flex-fuel 5.3 does, and the comment about having a pressure sensor is consistent with) or open to the atmosphere like the...

Today is the day I will get all my foam in however I figure that out! I re-examined the Toyota I installed in 2011. I see that the good used OE LX450 radiator I replaced it with did not have the approx 1/2 inch foam on the face of the sides and bottom. I will add that. I had installed foam at...

Not a clue!

FYI: VC120 has no check valves. (sorry if this has been said. I found nothing when searching) I have had a VC 120 in my 1993 385,000 mile 80 many years with good results. Two weeks ago wheeling in 90 degree Moab temps I had fuel tank pressure. Have not had it in a while. Live a mile high in...

1) Anyone have pictures they can share of foam between the A/C Condenser and radiator? I have read threads where folks mention this as part of getting their A/C colder at idle/low speed. I have searched and not found pictures. I have never seen it on any 80's. One of my own 80's I have had since...

Yep. Sorry I do owe some updating! Except for the transmission cooler line I clearanced into the bell housing with the driveshaft (yeah, but King of the Hammers whoops are fun!) and the resulting 2x flushing of 6 quarts of ATF (DIY undercoat) and the resultant loss of 1st, 2nd, and reverse, all...

Agreed The right question. I just replaced all 3 low pressure hoses. I flushed old fluid with the clear hose double-barb setup. Saw plenty of bubbles big and small. Once fluid was clean. I reconnected the low pressure return hose under the reservoir, topped the reservoir to the cold fill line...

This thread helped me so here’s a picture of shiny brass plug reinstalled to FSM 22 ft lbs
