Using an HX35 for towing

[tanman_2006]

I got the same part # from oreilley's but they can't order the brand that makes them in their books. I didn't know I needed an O ring though. Looks like I will get ahold of adapt all.

NAPA didn’t even come up with anything when I gave them the part number. I have been trying to contact midniteplowboyy for a while now, but he hasn’t been on for a long time. So I am just going by what I have found in his and Chicago TDP’s threads all over the net. I first found the size of the adapter, but then I found a thread he had that said he also used the washer.. Just wish I had the adapter to know what I am looking at. Still not call back from the guy at my local fitting distributor. I may call him tomorrow afternoon, give him a bit more time. If I can order two I will get one for you if you want. Maybe that what we should do at discount hose?? PM me if you want to work anything out that way. Ill pay for the total then you can pay half? Ill just get enough for it to be over 20? Not sure if the discount hose place has the washer tho?


EDIT: Discount does have the oring washer.... 63 cents....

Russell makes a M12x1.5 that is -6 on the other end. 5 bucks. Half dozen ways to go about it.

Summit sold adapters like that i was looking inot. But for ease its nice just to put an adapter in between your turbo and current line.

Hello Michael,

Your order has shipped. (Order#: 39659 placed on 04/19/2011)

Fittings just came in, goning to make sure they thread on at least the turbo side for now! I couldnt find my spare oil line for a 6.5 for some reason... Will send tanman's off to him tomorrow morning!

Pictures of a test fit for the new fitting in the WH1C. Looking good! Tanman, your packages in in the mail as of this AM!

 

[tanman_2006]

Looks good! I'll send some money via paypal when I get home this evening.

 

[3500GMC]

Hey, food for thought on your IC. I saw a guy move his rad closer to the fan and sneak the IC between the rad and the rad support on the rad side. This was on an OBS truck but the theory is sound. Try it and if it works, I'll do it too...I looked and it seems like the rad with minor fabrication could be moved closer to the fan. Plenty of room. The only concerns I have is would the lower IATs from the IC offset the decreased airflow to an already undersized, air starved rad ???Hmmm....

I cant wait to get startd on the I/C.. If i rip all the A/C stuff out that will free up some room. Im worried about it being too tight behind the grille though. I have 3 decently sized hydraulic hoses inbetween the grille and radiator fo the Fisher MM1.

i did an intercooler and the tranny cooler all in front of the rad but ditched all the hood latching stuff in favour of hood pins..... just needed to modify the bottom markers not to hit the elbows on the I.C......

Here is a couple pics of the 4 inch down pipe i built last year. It is very tight take your time when doing it. The heat wrap is for sure needed.

I wish i had time to work on this project but finals are next week.. Soo busy.

 

[tanman_2006]

Yip, I am in finals week, starting to get rolling on work, Moving back home, getting ready for graduation, and the list continues..... Hopefully once home I can lock my truck up in the shop and get some stuff done!

Right now I am running with the GM3 baling wired shut

I havent even been at my own house for awhile to check the mail and see if the fittings are there. Hopefully 2mro I can stop house hoping.
