Re: Power Steering Conversion

Garry, what vehicle are you looking at converting? I would say this conversion is easier that the electric setups and most of the other options. But again I’m not sure what vehicle you are thinking about converting because like me you have lots of different odd trucks.

Re: Power Steering Conversion

Sorry, no. I’m aware of two other people on the terrangbil.net site that have done this conversion but not much in the way of a real write up. It’s a pretty simple setup though. There are also several people that have done the Mercedes GW conversion but I really don’t like that method for several si...

Re: Power Steering Conversion

Well, I don’t like how the valve intrudes over the leaf spring slightly. And I’m not thrilled about the smaller tie rod end. But I flexed the truck and it clears fine in that configuration. And the ram takes all the stress off the drag link so... Time will tell I guess. I do like the fact that the v...

Power Steering Conversion

Here is my version of the C303 Corvette power steering conversion. I have mixed feelings about it right this moment but it does the job well. 38E00CB0-ABDE-4A07-8C9C-F388DE149B24.jpeg 5C28269B-6292-4748-B193-2D32FF837A69.jpeg 66B4AC75-D297-43A0-9D39-5A823D6115C3.jpeg C9C06E0A-6393-49B8-982D-15A8558B...

Re: Petronix question

I have a 123 unit that I used on my B130. It worked exceptionally well and never had moisture issues in heavy rain such as we can get here in North Texas. I am considering installing it in place of my Pertronix in my Unimog 404 as it’s a direct fit.

Re: Engine wanted

Jim, just keep in mind that the iC-7 receives much of it data from my OBDII port. It can only receive 4 analog signals and 2 digital signals. I have a feeling they will be expanding that in the future though.

Re: Engine wanted

Seems I can upload larger files than I thought. You should be able to zoom in now and see detail. The Gauge is a Haltech ic-7.

Re: Engine wanted

Close up of the metal dash or the digital display? No plans either way on the old parts. Mostly want to get rid of the old engine. But if someone is in need of parts I certainly don’t need them anymore.

Re: Engine wanted

For those that haven’t seen my Instagram posts, here is my new dash on my R2.8 Cummins C303. I had to make a whole new panel to get rid of all the extra holes. My C303’s electrical system is now also keyless and app controlled. The truck senses when I’m close to it and unlocks the ignition allowing ...

Re: WHO CAN REBUILD MY FRONT PORTAL BOXES?

If you are anywhere near Texas I would consider rebuilding them for you. Assuming you remove them as stated. You can PM me if you like.

Re: Electric cooling fan

I ran the fan on the low speed line with 24V and it works fine long term (many miles and hours logged). It runs roughly equivalent to the high speed at 12V. However currently I have this same fan on a Unimog and Volvo and both are running off a 12V now. A 30A converter is needed at minimum. My Volvo...

Re: Electric cooling fan

I have a puller fan on a custom shroud. I have made a few for c303’s. They have all worked well. Mine is based on a volvo 740 fan.
