Akella just messaged me that he will have more clutch pedal setups in January.
Hey cnorm, how did you put your motor mounts on, it looks like you didnt put the top steel piece on.

No I forgot to. I had to pull the rear valve cover to lift the motor high enough to get them in.
ok cool, I was worried I'd have to pull mine again lol. I pulled that same cover and to get it back on I had to take that brake line bracket off, it looks like your motot sits lower than mine. those motor mounts were impossible to get on!

It was a pita by my self. Hopefully you had some help.
I also did it by myself,
do you have any instructions from Dustin? I have the AC/alternator/water neck and the MS word file that's a general kinda overview but nothing with torque values or where some things go, like that weird hard pipe.
I've just been guessing how things go and I'd hate to have to redo things, like those trans hard lines

I was just going to ask you the same question. Mine loosened up and is leaking coolant. Is the bolt that tightens it down behind the A/C compressor?

No I didn't get any instructions. Guessed on everything too. When you get the intercooler you will get a piece of plate with a few holes in it. That's the template for drilling the holes for the pass through tubes. I didn't know that and just guessed.
What hard pipe? I can take more pics if you need them. Just tell me what you need.

Well I guess I did get some instructions for the ac and alternator bracket stuff. No torq specs but it did suggest lock-tight on everything.
Does your bracket only have the 8mm socket head bolt holding the water neck to the thermostat housing? Tried tighten it down thinking it came loose but it's tight. I know the bracket has a few design changes. Wondering if mine is a bit different.
its hard to explain heres some pics
4 bolts holding this on
the tstat housing spins off
this is behind that theres a square o-ring/gasket thing there

Thanks for the photos. That's the same version I have. Maybe my gasket failed but I don't like the way it isn't sitting flush on both sides. Hopefully the bracket didn't warp from holding it in
the trans coolar hard lines, you said you switched to flex lines cause the intercooler pipes were in the way.
the old cummins heater pipes did you just plug them or do they get used?
did you leave the lifting point in there? I wonder if it makes a better seal without in.
how are you guys for clearance on drivers side?
this is too tight for my liking

That's the first thing I noticed and thought the same thing. Mine is not in there. How thick is it? Seems like it would be to thick and pull the bracket out.

Tried to get the same shot on mine. It was hard to get my phone down there. Looks like I have a bit more clearance than that.
looks like you removed the cover on the steering shaft, other than it looks the same
Motor mounts flipped side to side I dot recall Phil's being that close.
Also for torque specs if follow cummins for the same components really it's based on fashioner size. There are recommended torques for every strength bolt that most manufactures follow pretty close. Until you get to hardened specialty head bolts and ARP studs
