I love storms! Not tornadoes tho they are animals been through a few of them snow storms are my favorite but that doesn't happen around here if there is a chance of snow here this place shuts all the way down.

Batten down the hatches mister

Looks like the eye is going slide right up the coastline.

I want to remove as much blowby pressure as possible. Anybody running these or have any input.

The hole around the 4WD shifter was blocked off cutting noise over 75%. A customer gave me some of this dynamax sound proof material. Super sticky adhesive on one side. Decided to try it on the bottom side of the shifter plate I made.

Went on really well.

Found a great article on blowby and valve cover breathers. This article was by a Diesel repair company in Southern Oregon. They use a Case/ Holland valve cover/ breather which costs less than $120.

Worked on the Dodge PacBrake yesterday and found the suspected problem, bad check valve.

I’ve attended this event and it’s a great time. Would be great to meet others of you here and enjoy working and staying the night.

@cruiseroutfit do you have a FJ60 fuel level sending unit?

The Speedhut fuel gauge does work with the sender. Here it is with a half tank.

The one in the fuel tank is just rusted and the arm isn’t looking too good either. Don’t want it to rot off and have a float bobbing in the tank.

Absolutely

Started wiring on the Harrop E-locker.

Cleaning up wiring and putting on wire loom.

My wipers were terrible the other day during the rain.

They had not been replaced since before the conversion.

First real bath with soap. The times before I just used the pressure washer at work.

Does that electrical connector have any sort of support? I see potential fatigue on the short length of wires coming out of the third member. Maybe zip-tie that connector to that nearest brake line really well to mitigate.

From the 3rd to the wire harness there isn’t any support. After that I could zip tie more of the wire loom to the brake line but wanted to have some flexibility on that end when the 60 flexes. Thanks Matt, always appreciate it.

The Crater Lake property closes on Monday. Starting to cool off there.

Really should attach that connector to the diff. It bouncing around will break the wire that goes into the diff eventually.

Flex should be where the brake lines are, not at the diff penetration point.

I haven't see too many of those Harrop installs yet, it seems like a great place to use a bulkhead connector. Not sure if anyone has done this yet.

 

[Hojack]

Well thanks for getting back to some tech guys. I left the wire and loom long and followed the brake line as it will flex as much as the wire to the e-locker.

My buddy Brian was able to pickup the Case/ Holland valve cover breather from Mobile Diesel Services on his truck driving route today in southern Oregon.
The cost was $125 for the set. He saved me $30-35 on freight.
Cummins NW in Portland wanted over $300.
