Apologies for the delayed reply...


1. How did you cover the output for the speedo cable?

Used the end of a spare cable threaded in place to the front dif and capped.


2. What did you do about the odometer reading?
Did you have to fill out a statement at the DMV, were you able to have the ...

Do you have a price in mind? Some pics would definitely help with offers. Thanks!

As a bicycle nerd as well as a Pinzgauer nerd I keep a lot of bicycle inner tube material around for exactly this type of thing. I know that I have a section of standard thickness road bicycle (so pretty thin) inner tube rubber fitted between the crescent piece that you described and the steering ...

Have you considered an asking price yet?

Hello

I don’t think so. You can see it connects to the diverter box I described. Item #61. Also the items in that pic are for the standard heater/vent system. Like in an M


Allow me to rephrase my response... 30-05-60 is what is connected to the hose that's connected to the exhaust port of the ...

That's the Eberspacher heater exhaust.

Wow! That is scary cheap. The Webastos have gone up crazy in price. I still have not purchased one but should have when I first started thinking about it.


I just purchased one of these. I'll post an update once I've had an opportunity to do some testing and compare to the Webasto.

UPDATE: No ...

2024 Cyber Monday deal on AliExpress...

2KW Pakring Heater with a Petrol option for $120... 12V for sure, but elsewhere in the listing states 12V/24V. If needed, a 12V-24V stepdown converter is a small additional investment.

Just dealt with a similar vacuum issue a couple days ago. Turned out to be a loosening nut at the base of the intake manifold at #4. Using brake cleaner to sleuth out the vacuum leak is a winning technique. If you're not familiar, have a look at the post linked below...

Are you aware of any moving parts within the breather? Anything which could wear out? Springs, flaps, seals?
It's just baffling to me why this would suddenly become an issue after so many years without an issue.


I'm not. I believe it is a static air inlet, but I could be mistaken. I just ...

Without breaking down the the physics of the spout's function, my experience is that it works optimally with an aggressive pour. When attempting to pour just a small amount of fuel from a full can I'll often experience the behavior that you described. However, when dumping a full can into the Pinz ...

So a related but different issue - What might cause the horn to not function at all when the wheel is turned?

So are you proposing replacing the speedometer+trip_meter+odometer with a speedometer(GPS???)+tachometer?


Yes, a speedometer+trip_meter+odometer+tachometer in a single unit.

To me those things dont even belong on a pinzgauer and where ever availble on them from the factory...the only truck that had these was the 404 Mog......i just dont like them :roll:


Honest question, do you drive your Pinzgauer regularly? I don't know how the hub step wasn't a factory ...

To Mr. Zero, how did you determine an appraised value and /or convince the insurance company of same?


Apparently it is a standard practice for American Family to cover classic/collectible vehicles up to the appraised value. AmFam actually brought this to my attention and referred me to an ...
