I have the "high volume" 12V unit from Harbor Freight (about $45 on sale). I was impressed with its volume (I routinely air down all 4 rear tires to 28 psi on the dragstrip, then need to inflate to 80 psi for the trip home). However, it tends to reach its thermal cutout point quickly, so it...
They did mine last week. The local official dealer was booked out 3 months, and were subcontracting out to a smaller shop if you wanted it sooner. I was less than impressed with the local shop. They added a sheet metal shield and an additional sensor and harness, which presumably cuts off...
My 1995 PSD has a yellow lever on the bottom of the front passenger's side of the fuel bowl, which is itself underneath that black cover over the engine valley. The light came on right after I bought it, and it took a little bit of driving after draining it to turn it off again. Never come...
You can run the Performax system from the same thermocouple as a standard Pyrometer, as long as you connect the "Y" junction down at the thermocouple connection. You can also shorten up the leadwire to the Performax side, but not the one to the conventional gauge. The Performax circuitry draws...
I hadn't actually thought "scientifically" about this before, but the idea of adding to the top and bottom of the C-channel would be the most effective from an added weight perspective (most strength with minimal weight), provided you have sufficient center web thickness on the channel to...
I know a few people who tow frequently with the aluminum drops, so far no problems (except they seem to be more likely to be stolen if not locked!).
I found a high-rated (12k lb IIRC) ball mount at a local parts store. It may have been a Putnam. Couldn't find it last time I needed it, so...
Great write-up!
BTW, we have Deutsch terminals available if you want to shorten up the (very) generous amount of wire we provide. R78833 gets you 10 of the terminals.
You can crimp them with the official Deutsch tool DTT-20-00 (available from www.laddinc.com), but if you are careful you...
