Same here! Tube inspections for steam boilers, chillers, and recip compressor inspections

Damn! That's down-right affordable! When I was working in the field I used my shop's rigid borescope that had a small external mirror for 90º views, and their flexible fiber optic borescope. Both were around $600 - $700. Hmm, I might go shopping...

You've obviously got the hot set-up for inspection tools (user name checks-out ?). Does your scope swivel 90°?

Without controlling the flow to each cylinder individually might the W/M mixture accumulate in the manifold and send the occasional slug into a cylinder?

I was thinking the same. I think it will entail pulling the TB off to access the intake manifold. I haven't explored that yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll be doing it.

Oh yeah...

Had some clear weather today so I installed my new PPE trans pan, changed the filter while I had it open and added 7qts of fresh ULV. I don't have a level driveway and I live on a hill so I'll hit a parking lot near me to check the level. I does feel better, but I'm pretty sure it's all in my...

Real Truck still sells them but it looks like Black Horse doesn't even make them anymore: :frown:

The EPA says that for every 100 pounds of weight reduction the fuel economy is increased by 1-2 percent. Does that mean the opposite is true? I don't know, but I installed a 50# Huracan tailgate storage unit and my average mileage hasn't budged (23.4mpg)

Lol - sorry guys, but there's a lot of uninformed knee-jerking going on here. How about a little fact checking before running around yelling "the sky is falling" I burn just as much gas as anybody, I'm not worried. #1 #2 #3 "The more you know..." No government is perfect.

Do you still have it? I'll send a PM if you respond :thumbsup: Thanks

Wow, that's way-cool! I'm not doing that :LOL:

Thanks AT! While your explanation cleared up my understanding of the circuits, that video is the cherry on top. :like:

Wow, I truly appreciate your commitment to the deep-dive! :thumbsup: My guess is that even if the fan clutch control called for zero fan operation, there is still enough drag in the clutch itself that the fan would never come to a complete stop.

Ahh, very good. Would it come to a full stop?

Damn! That's an awesome deal! You wouldn't by chance have a stock rear bumper for sale? I'm going to be down your way in May,

Hey, that's great! Was the fan operation just on/off, or could you feel it ramp up? I thought with a PWM there would be a gradual increase/decrease in speed and not just all or nothing.

Combination of both? Either way I'd love to find out

Well, someone with a sensitive strain meter or digital fish scale could put it in place of the the hose bridge and actually take some readings to see EXACTLY how much shock it's subjected too. Hmm, time for a Amazon search...

I'm sure there's some relationship between the two; the OAD must limit some start-up shock to the fan clutch, but because that fan sensor "floats" on the shaft the shock it sees will be limited by the drag between the shaft and the sensor bearing. I think the overriding issue is with long-term...
