I've been in the same situation. Working on something and just cant figure it out or just frustrated and all it took was another pair of eyes for 2 seconds or just the moral support and bam, problem solved and fixed. I've also been on the other end of it too. I love helping people out even more so when its something I love or know how to do! And lets face it, there doesn't even need to be a vehicle or a something to work on in front of us. Sometimes we just need a good healthy friendship, someone who cares.

Sometimes thats all we need! 😁

Nice, I have access to pretty much make any hose a want with any fitting so I think ill be doing something just as you did!

I stand corrected! I guess all I been seeing was you as an unpaid member and thought you'd vanished lol. Glad your here!

Thank you @Tractorman exactly what I needed. The PS mod seems a bit daunting but once I get all the parts and get to stare at it face to face I should have it licked. I might try to a article style build on it if I can remember, usually get to excited on projects and get them done and realize I didn't take any progress pics. I did find that PS pump, just googled it and ebay has them for $160, some others double that. The VC pump I can get through oriellys for $123 then add military discount 😉 Too bad that guy isn't a member here anymore. Seems like he had some good ideas and knowledge to add. That reservoir will do fine, I have just been looking to see if there is another tank that has some better mounting options. So far most of them only come in a 2 port design. A tee fitting might work since the 2 small ones are only returns.

@Tractorman Just cruising around doing some little research here and was wandering what vacuum pumps would be acceptable to use? There's honestly quite large variety online and some very expensive versions. I didn't see any specific VC pump listed. I haven't started my 24v 1500 build yet but I think I need to get a handle on this. Were (2nd gen) only using it for HVAC and cruise so its not a "vital" part, meaning you prolly dont need the most "expensive-best" option. The vacuum portion seems straight forward, get pump and supply key-on power and hook up the main vacuum line. What all did you have/need to buy for your PS pump conversion? Been a long while since I got to use this gif...... so

@Mopar1973Man is there anyway/option to add a poll to this or should I just make a quick new thread for a poll(s)? I'm still curious to think what everyone thinks on keep the NV5600 or trying to find someone to buy a full manual swap so I can afford to buy a nice 47RE... I guess thats another question, do I have to stick with the 47RE in auto? Prolly for simplicity's sake for oem brackets and bolt-n-go scenario Id stay 47RE in my thought process. If anyone is to ask for the trucks purpose, this will literally only be a grocery getter, play toy, go fast wanna be show truck. If I swap id have to send in my computers for flashing to auto and the only issue would be to hopefully sell a full NV5600 swap with t-case ready to roll which is the biggest kicker and would halt finishing everything till it sold...

Looks beautiful, cant wait to see that country side one day.

Oh I see what you were going for. Personally, I always either premix the concentrated stuff or buy premix what ever the case may be then add as needed. Yes it all gets mixed the same after pumping through a few times but, Im ocd and I always know I have the correct dilution. The thermostat fill @Mopar1973Man stated is one of the best ways to go and its super easy, I do this method myself.

I dont have any good info your you and I feel dumb, but I am curious on this. As many times as I've removed dodge seats I've never found a wiring "harness" for the buckle. Im guessing that there is a sensor on the seatbelt retractor. All mine I've dealt with have been single cab and I've also never taken the seatbelt out or had a problem with it. This is probably why I don't know anything about it... So I'm here to learn, but I'd bet that the sensor is on the retractor. I'm sure someone else will chime in shortly.

Did I miss something? 3 gallons of concentrate and only 1/2 gallon of water? What happened to 50/50 mix? That's all I've ever done or even known for that matter. Even as a JD mechanic.

Looks nice! I did the same thing. I running some big boys under my hood from John Deere since I worked there lol. I ll have to do some pics on mine. I just modified the oem battery tray to make them fit. The LRB stuff is nice but pricey...

Only good suggestion(s) you will hear is either red top or blue top. There is a couple threads/topics on here talking about them if memory serves me right. I narrowed down to get a blue top. Its a long story but they were the same company but the owners split up at some point. Their are some differences but minimal. Good luck.

LMC truck has them also. Here ya go. Lmc truck washer res link

I might try and sell my whole NV5600 manual setup. That would prolly get most of the money for a built trans. Anyone need a full NV5600, 6spd 4x4 swap??? With t-case? Prolly sell axles/rolling frame too, D70 and D80, both disc brakes, 4.10's with detroit truetrak differential, mag hytec cover Suspension?
