Re: Air Conditioning Planning
Wow! Thats a big draw. Wonder what the factory load is on the truck. Well, I run a 55 amp Alternator which is an upgrade from stock however I would say that stock requirements do not exceed that but I also know that many of us upgrade items as well.. I plan to have some ancillary items in the cab a...

Re: Air Conditioning Planning
Just FYI, you can run an electric power steering pump to solve a lot of this. I’m not talking electric assist steering but a true power steering pump. I forget what they came in, but they are out there. I had originally thought about going that route but I have two systems that will be dependent on...

Re: Air Conditioning Planning
As you can see if you plan on using it on a 100° day you are pretty close to 100a continuous.

Re: Air Conditioning Planning
I would think 15k BTU would cool the entire interior of a TGB. You might have to pipe some vents into the back for better distribution. My thing would be account for an alternator that can give you 24v and 200 amps. Almost certain the alternators we can source that currently fit a B30 cannot provid...

Re: Air Conditioning Planning
Not a chance...if you want to run PS then you are not squeezing an A/C compressor in there plus A/C lines routing where? Into the cab, through the back? This approach is by far the least practical...
Have an all in one unit makes the most sense on these.

Re: Air Conditioning Planning
You are partially correct. I believe some units exist that are all in one.

Re: Power Steering Conversion
Dakota,
Could you get a few more detailed pictures of the actual PS setup around the drag link and axle area? Which PS pump are you using and pictures of that as well?

Re: Shocks
I have been considering Fox shocks but I for the life of me cannot figure out which series supports our shock mount size. I was hoping to run with 2.5's... glad you found a good combo for your rig!

Re: Air Conditioning Planning
Your only real option for a compressor on that B30 would be on the drivers side and even then the 164 and 140 compressors were mounted high. I have considered rooftop A/C for mine as I would not want to try and cram any more in the engine area. I am saving that small space on the drivers side of the...

Re: Axles Portal bearing cross reference
No problem at all Jim. I do have a front portal reference somewhere but I cannot find the file. I know that I posted it in the FB group though. I guess I should also clarify that placement of the oil fill plug is different also on the front but if we are talking about inner and outer wheel bearings,...

Re: Axles Portal bearing cross reference
Front Portal would be the same with exception of the portion of the axle where the CV joint resides. Anything bearing, seal or gear related within the housing itself is the same between front and back although the housing is shaped differently on the front to accommodate steering linkages, etc. Simi...

Re: VOLVO UPPER RADIATOR HOSE
I had to go into the back at a Napa and find one with a similar bend and cut it to size. That is about your only option here. Hello, I am in need of a new Volvo Upper Radiator Hose. Volvo Part Number: Volvo 644132. Does anyone know of a source for these? Ive tried Volvo, Napa and other parts stores ...

Re: Flying Spanners - the 5.1's
I'm ok with 37's if people want to upsize and they have no issues mechanically then I don't see the harm. Not everyone that owns a TGB is looking for off-road adventure and on the opposite end many of us are also not seeking out 80MPH freeway runs. Many of us (I fit this category) simply put around ...
