Top hat valve seal and valve train
Hua?

torque converter lock up install
SPST (single pole single throw) switch have no right way per say. Either way when the switch is OFF the connection is BROKEN between the wires. When the switch is ON the two wires are connected together. It when you get to SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) Now there is a bit more to worry about being there is a way to hook up and never get a connection.

That should work just fine.

Top hat valve seal and valve train
Funny this thread should start. I'm getting geared up for doing valve seals here really soon. I've got the spring compressor and the seals. I just need to get my 1/2 ton up and running with fresh tires and then I can condemn the Cummins for a week or so to get the valve seals done. In the mean time, I'm still listening to Helicopters buzzing back and forth over the house.

Windshield Wiper Issue.......?
It also could be a bad wiper motor. I've had that happen on both my 1972 Dodge Power Wagon and my 1973 Dodge Charger. There is a reed switch in the motor that detects for park position and if the read is broken or damaged then the wipers shut off on the glass like you describe. The wiper relay is just a trigger pulse to get the wipers to cycle on command. So you can try swapping relays with another device. I'm figuring that its going to be the wiper motor.

Bipolar HVAC fan.
Wow. The ceramic didn't crack. The legs are oxidized. I'm betting the problem is in the core of the ceramic which is a wire wound resistor.

Fuel economy on iQuad
Let double check for sure. I've got in my console and I'll check it tomorrow on the trip down. I'll also grab my OBDLink LX and check as well.

Strange but true, like I said as the bearings give up the current flow starts to heat up the resistor. When the resistor fails you can bet the blower is just as damaged. So would you be will to post a pic of the resistor?

Fuel economy on iQuad
Hmmm... Something isn't right then. Always -1 MPH even to what is reported on OBDII port tools. (Chris O's CCD Network tool)

New Tire Size found 235's to 245's
Just remember... NV5600 6th gear -> 0.73 - 0.75 <- NV4500 5th Gear NV5600 5th Gear -> 1:1 -- 1:1 <- NV4500 4th Gear No longer an issue with 245's. I'm typically in 4th gear (1:1 direct) on NV4500 by about 30 MPH. You can cruise 30 MPH at 1,200 RPM's. With my NV4500 in 5th, 3.55 rear end gears and 245's on for tires I'm 200 RPM's lower at 2,400 at 80 MPH. I seriously wonder if your rear axle is a different ratio.

Fuel economy on iQuad
Already done that but still incorrect value between the GPS and the dash gauge the Quadzilla is always -1 MPH off. Dash will show 65 MPH with the GPS at 65 MPH but the Quadzilla shows 64 MPH.

New Tire Size found 235's to 245's
245's will put you close to the 3.73 ratios (3.69:1) without changing the gears. With the 245's with 3.55 rear gears 66 MPH is a perfect 2k on the tach. Then at 80 MPH your at 2,400 on the tach.

Slice of history...
- Air filter sucked into turbo. Time for RBHAF
Brake clean is safe. Just make sure the engine can inhale that brake clean by disconnecting the discharge turbo. Allow it to fully dry before hooking up and starting. Also, have to remember if the dust went through the turbo how much that is in the discharge tube and in the intercooler.- Air filter sucked into turbo. Time for RBHAF
I hope you cleaned up that turbo before installing. Need to pull the discharge line and then take brake cleaner and clean all that dust residue off the compressor wheel. Remember that shaft spins are insanely fast RPM's. Little bit of dust can cause an imbalance which puts more wear on the turbo bearings and seals. So far with everything I've done to my truck I've never had a filter distort on the inside as of yet.- torque converter lock up install
No illuminated may be used on any control circuits. It has to be a normal ON/OFF switch no light or LED. This was a common problem with people building my high idle kit back in the past they attempted to power the light switch with the 5V from the sensor but screwed the system because the ECM could see the LED load and current flow causing errors to be thrown. Buy a standard ON/OFF (SPST) and use that.- Rattlesnake Fire, Idaho - 2018

Ask @trreed about his shower head nozzles...- Problem solved
RWAL or 4 wheel ABS?- Poor gas mileage
Those will work good. I just made a run slamming 45 PSI of boost and tore the rear tires loose.- Valve Lash rant
Ask @hex0rz about the injector change I did on his truck. He ran the 5 hours from Sandpoint, ID show up here at 7pm and I change all 6 injectors in about 1 hour hot. Don't suggest it...- Custom pv1 tuning
Agreed...- Bumpers any advice
Funny... The only thing that hit my bumper is one deer after my first year of ownership. Then the last month nothing but hitting birds and grouse. Every one of those HD bumpers out there are super heavy and I personally think are going to add to the front axles issues and steering issues with the added weight. Then with oversized tires making the problem worse too.- trreed's upgrade thread
