Well got it running again.... No more oil pump leak Now I'm noticing a huge change in power in my truck.... I adjusted the MAFS about a week ago before i got my snorkel done, i noticed a little change in response and highway driving. I just took my truck for a 80 mile ride on highway and back roads and OMG.... Now i have both a 22re and a 3.0 both 94's and usually i like to the 3.0 for it's bit more power even though it needs work..
I need to get this truck in the woods asap... This is by far the best my truck has ever run, and i've had it since 01. Dunno if it's just the combination of a fresh rebuild good cam and the few other parts i mentioned above, but man i think just getting the truck a good cold flow of air has made the biggest difference....

 

Auto parts section. Indoor/outdoor temp guage. But instead of outdoors, the sensor is run next to the filter. I was putting in my CB and had to run the coax, it was a perfect time to throw the sensor wire throught there.


http://www.jcwhitney.com/ look up thermometers and clocks

Any of those should do the trick. Except the one thats just a clock, of course.

I got mine at Fred Meyer.

 

As the President...you Fail.

That's a great idea...!

Thankfully I have an EXCELLENT heat transfer thru the inner cab......stupid fan. Anywho, motor runs cool like it's on the freeway.

Actually, Jason, you could do EXACTLY like I did but just end the pipe INSIDE the the windshield louver and build it like the feed for the cabin air is plumbed. You would get fully outside air without ANYONE knowing.

Pics or it didn't happen.

My air is cooler than yours....

See below:yup

 

Pics or it didn't happen my behind, check your phone again, dork!

 

Let's not make this about me...

 

so are you gonna pull the lid and inspect the inside of your filter every oil change? since its gonna be working backwards.

 

Thats why Logan did the plexi cover. Easy inspection. He's a smart one!

 

Ya for the moment i will have to check the filter often.. I did wash and oil the inside seems to be working fine. It seems this thread have given some inspiration for some to get theirs done... NICE. Think i'll be wheeling today Thank for the suggestions tips and comments so far greatly appreciated...

 

Yup I just got done doing mine last nite, ill have pics up on my build thread sometime this weekend.

 

Cool... Get em up.. I think i should've gone through the inner fender rather then going down. Seemed like a good idea at the time, but think i'll end up getting it up through the fender somewhere in the end. atleast it's an easy fix little plate little weld.... LOL

 

There. Got it together and lined it with cheapo dynamat. Seems to help, but I haven't found good weather stripping to seal off the top edge. Gonna run it as is for a little while. It still heats up at stop lights, but at a way slower rate and cools down quickly once I get back on the throttle.



happy now, Logan?!?

 

nice job

 

Thanks Jerry, once I got the template in Cardboard, the rest went fairly quick. The wires along the fender and the top have to be the big gaps still letting in heat at a stoplight. No biggie, I can already tell a difference on the temp guage. Just gotta see out on a trail somewhere when the motor is working hard. That was the biggest difference.....

 

that box is pretty sweet Jason...nice fab job.

and just don't stop at those stop signs or red lights and you'll have no worries.

 

Why didn't I think of that? GENIOUS, Jerry!

 

Nice man.. looks good.!!!

 

Thanks, did you figure out a good scoop that keeps water out yet?

 

No not yet I'll find something it will come to me like fate
