Just taking and inventory of what is left from the firewall forward and its a much bigger list then I expected. So deceiving sometimes.

Radiator and fan
York manifold and air lines
Exhaust to under cab
Steering lines - Steering pump/resevoir/return line
Brake booster & vacuum line
Brake master & brake lines to frame
Clutch master and line to trans - clutch slave
Throttle cable
Fuel lines to frame
Wiper/washer
2 v-belts
Heat and ac unit
Engine Cage
Front shocks
Headlights/turn signals/clearance lights/horn
grill
All Front end wiring

EDIT: and I keep coming up with more.

That's easy to do!

Few things done up tonight.

You are not worried about the hose coming off the compressor melting? I thought compressors got hot enough that high temperature materials like hard line or Teflon braided hose had to be used.

3rd York install and I've always used regular air hoses. This is the best quality hose I've used so far.

Used the standard red rubber hose. It lasted quite a while but eventually cracked. Then I used the yellow PVC hose. Seemed to work pretty good but from time to time, seemed like the hose would push off.

Love the intake plumbing and downpipe, gorgeous!

 

[Blazooki]

the down pipes facing the wrong direction

Don't think so.??

I thought the same thing, I used a high temp braided line from Grainger for that hose. But it sounds like Kert has been making the other hose work so I guess maybe we don't use them often enough to heat it up that much?

 

[jekquistk5]

I find it soo cool that you are using your frame for an air tank

He means why isnt it coming out of the hood

I guess for now, i'll keep going this route. I have had larger compressors that got the output line pretty warm. You may be right, just not using them long enough to make the heat.

For now that is still the plan. We got some sidewall flex in the 6" tubing to deal with but that can be done when we pull things apart for paint and powder coat. I plan to run some 1.75" tubing across the tube and tig it in to combat the flex. The 4" tube seems pretty impervious to the pressure.

Ah, OK. Guess I killed that joke.

Picture of the rest of the down pipe. Exhaust is together to behind the front cab mount. From here on out its pretty simple. Straight all the way back to the box side and a 90* out through the box side.

TY, walking the genius comic road can be lonely at times.

all jokes aside its time to get real ...

Kert, mabe the shadow is messing up the pic. it appears you notched the frame for the exhaust or connected the down pipe to the frame thereby making the frame your exhaust pipe??? I re-read all 58 pages again to make sure I did not miss this tech. I found nothing. All I found was a tiny sentence about running the exhaust outside the frame rail. you must clarify this immediately. This is a huge violation of build thread rule #2: No surprise tech- all tech must be vetted by the board before implementation.

I don't want to find out at blazer bash that the cummins is actually a nuclear fusion reactor and your truck runs on banana peels and stale beer.

No need to alert the tech police.

Frame was not notched. The inner fender well was notched and the exhaust pipe goes through that notch on the outside of the frame rail. Then the inner fender well was notched again on the bottom back side to allow the exhaust to stay tucked up close to the floor pans.

We have one bend on the bottom that was near 90 that I could have kept tucked tighter if it were a couple near 45's. We'll see how things clear first before I worry about that again though.

I'll try to get some better photos.

I concur!


Note to Rick - if you hit the quote button and then include the quote brackets with the words in your sig line, others who read your sig will be able to follow the link and find out what you are talking about. The line is downright weird without its context...

thank you for the clarification...I will lower the surprise tech alert level back to DEFCON 1

for the rest of you...nothing to see here...move along
