The cooling line that come out of the left front of the transmission is the 'hot line' from the torque converter via the l/u switch valve @ 5-57psi. It goes to the rear of the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is on the engine's right side under the exhaust manifold by numbers 5&6 cylinders. The line coming out of the front of the heat exchanger goes to the trans cooler that is next to the A/C condenser. From the trans cooler the line goes to the fitting at the left rear of the transmission where it 'dumps' into the pan.

That's a good option and keep the old one as a spare. The machine shop labor should be about ½ hour, $30-$60.

This is way more info about burning wood than we needed!

In the hot line leaving the trans.

Take the pump block off and bring it in to a machine shop, let them do it. They have the experience and the tools to get it out and re due the hole threads. When you get it back reinstall and bled the brake system.

Not much of a winter here even for So. California standers. We burned about 1 cord of mix pine and eucalyptus for the whole winter. I sold 2 half cords of eucalyptus because I had so much leftover and more to split.

I'm thinking of going to Yellowstone this year. Your place is only a mere 10 hr away from there and at $12/night with discount it's a heck of a deal and the truck doesn't need any work.

Years ago I put a wireless camera on the back of my 5er so I could check on the boat that is tow behind it. The distance was to much and could not get a picture. It would work when the camera was 5 feet or less from the truck's rear bumper.

I have an HX35W

I've been running my EZ on #2 with a boost elbow. When I'm going up a long grade of 5% or more the boost goes to 26 psi and the settles down to 24 psi and stays there. Now that's with the O/D locked out and speed set at 55-60 mph with about a 9000 lb load behind me. There are no temp problems, defueling, or codes set. The fuel mpg is about 10.5 when I go north to Reno (there are several long 6% grades to go up) and 12.5 heading south to home.

The amps at the front door speakers are used to power the front speakers. My son changed out the front door speakers with 6x9's and kept the stock radio head. The front speakers have no base but the rear speakers sound good. I'll probably replace the radio with one that will power all the speakers.

Every thing look great and I really like that RAT FINK decal.

On some of the Volvos that I work on the Speedo get it's signal from the ABS control module. When the speedo goes out and the ABS light is on I open the module and solder the main power wire coming into the circuit board. You find that the solder joint is bad from the hot/cold cycling.

I picked up 5 Michelin 245/75R16 LTX A/T2 off the totaled van today. The fronts have 11/32", the rears have 12/32" left and the spare is new. I paid $185 for the 5 tires. It cost $25 to have them mounted and balanced with new high pressure valve stems at a tire shop that I do a lot of business with. Even though I went from the 265/75 to the 245/75 the price was just to good to turn down.

Welcome to the site. I wish you luck and smooth sailing on your move.

The sound that makes real men smile.

Last month replaced front door speakers, cut the power and ground wires for the speaker amps, had a 16xx something code when done. cleared code and no problem since.

So that's where it came from.

I've pulled A 23' TT @ about 6k lb and the 5er @ 8k lb and i'll take the 5er any day. I just didn't like the up n down bounce the travel trailer gave even with a load lever hitch.

I've got a line on some nearly new Michilins on a totaled Ford van. He thinks they are 245s but not sure. I get to see them on Monday. I'll try to get the lot for $200 or best offer. Thank you all for the insight and help. I'll keep you posted. While doing research I came across this web site you might fine useful. Check out the "tire size help" column. http://tire-size-conversion.com/tire-size-calculator/

The speed limit when towing here is 55 so most of my driving is 55-62 and never over 65. Only in 3ed going up hills.

What's the benefit by going tall or with the 265? The Queen was driven 4,061 mi last year so any tire I put on will rot off before its worn off.

75% of the time it's pulling the 5er and the rest is running empty. The 5er GVWR is 8k lb and the hitch weight is 960 lb.

The Driveway Queen needs new tires. She has 265/75 on stock wheels right now and thinking of going to 245/75. I was wondering what the advantage/disadvantage would be other than the obvious truck height, revolutions/mile, and cost difference.
