Overview Gallery Discussion
Pretty sick Paul, although I won't go to the extent you have here, I plan on running Trans and PS too. Did you go with the AN fittings on all?
 
what filter mounts are you using? i like the way it looks. are they all ported on the top?
 
yup... all the black ano-tuffs and steelbraided.. #6 on the trans and p.s, #10 on the engine..

I'm not even ordering the Ano-tuffs and hose right now, just the 3 other filter mounts and 2 of the coolers.. i have to special order the trans one, as it's a 42 row... the engine is a 34 row, p.s is a 19..

i figure I'm better off getting the coolers mounted, then i can figure out the plumbing... there's very specific routing i need to do to make it all fit nicely.. the biggest issue at this point is trying to refrain from running bulkheads on the rad support.. i'm already spending a f*ckton on fittings and hose without adding that to the mix... i really wanna just grommet it if i can... maybe down the road retro-fit it with bulkheads..

they are freakin nice... of course, just about the priciest out there... :doah: :dunno:

i just liked em, they're a tight package... yes, both ports on top.. 1/2" NPT... Earl's.... $50 smackers a piece thru Summit..

you can go as cheap as about $20... i actually have old trans one to sell.. that has 1/2" NPT's out the front...

yup... got lazy and fed up and just went out and got an HP with a 20" LED LG screen.. wanted a Samsung, but they where out... the LG looks pretty amazing..

the vid card is a little lacking, but the towers pretty good spec-wise.. 1TB HD, 4 gigs ram, 3.2 Athlon, etc.. got a pretty good deal, $650 for everything... keyboard and mouse included... I'll upgrade the vid down the road if i start doing some gaming..
 
oh, and i decided today that I'm gonna close up the tophat holes in the rad support....
 
what do you have for an engine oil cooler adapter?

Man you should rig up some pipe to the oil pan so you never have to get under it to change oil!!! lol that would be sick. Have you ever heard of the remote grease fitting set ups? I was working on an air handler at work that had them connected to the blower motor bearings. You just run greas lines into the engine bay and the other ends that replace the zerk fittings on the steering parts. Basically just a clear polyvinal tubing. I thought it would be a cool thing to have and less odd dirty places to get in to grease the front end.

Ag uses a lot of remote grease lines. You also see them added on semis fairly regularly.

may i ask what ag is?? lol

Agriculture.

Tractors, combines, balers, etc.

My old John Deere 566 Round baler use to have a remote oiler on it, that squirted oil on the chains every time you raised the end gate.

actually I was looking to save a bit, and go pretty cheap on one... I was looking at the Trans Dapt one for $14...

Is the steelbraid rated for a high enough pressure to work on the p/s? And r the Ano-Tuff rated high enough as well?

thought i'd touch on this, and ask a couple questions.... so the early cases have a port for each gear?

I definitely wouldn't want it for the main reason of multiple pressure lines... more fail points, bulk, etc...

and i'm not really understanding the difference.. my understanding is that with the manual vb, it runs at full line pressure all the time, so I can't really see a benefit to it.. other than possibly knowing which fluid circuit might be having an issue?

I'm assuming that gauge will stay steady thru all gears, with maybe just a tiny bump up as it shifts gear? would you see a prob in an individual gear? like full pressure in neutral, first gear, then low pressure in second, and back to full in 3rd and OD, indicating an issue with 2nd gear?
