That is pretty quick. I think mine is at least double that. I will time mine as well. I'm not sure if it changes according to ambient temp. Thats a long glow time. Long burns....:cigar: Love it

I would use some sort of heat protection on the hoses being that close to the manifold. I doubt the manifold would burn them, but over time it would do some damage.

Vultures don't store anything though. They would be considered minimalists. :D You would be a ........:smuggrin: I have no room to talk.

Its been long enough that I don't remember which glow plugs I have. I believe I have the AC Delco because the Bosch were the plague at the time. I do have an override relay, just not installed. My glow plug relay must be old school because it has a fairly long first cycle. At least it seems like...

Butchers, is what you mean. I get it. I haven't been to the yard in quite a while. A few of them have disappeared from this area. It was pretty aggravating to see someone destroy 10 good parts to get to the one part they needed. The GMT400 store should be open soon. Centrally located in...

You called them vultures and then you came home with this stash? 🤣 I don't think it would be too difficult to wire up power mirrors with a switch from another vehicle? I guess the harness would make the mirrors plug in, but I remember reading the stock switches are usually garbage.

I never really considered the interior makeup of the side post battery. When these batteries take a turn for the worse I will probably make the switch to top post. Its spins over plenty fast. I think it just needs more heat for the cold starts (45 degrees and lower). If its been plugged in or...

Yes, I have the Powermaster starter. I still use the side terminal and stock style cables. I had considered making larger gauge cables, but mine are still in good shape. It does spin very fast with the Powermaster starter. I really like the cleaner look of side terminal batteries and maybe if...

Update time. I have been driving this off and on over the last year. Mostly off. A truck without a bed is not very useful unless its pulling a trailer. It has been running well and no real problems. It is definitely a different animal when it comes to starting in cooler weather. It takes some...

Hey Nate, I see we have the same taste in vacuum pumps. :D I was going to make the same comment that it looks like it getting mounted to the space shuttle. Is there a reason that you ran the negative battery cable to the front of the truck rather than going directly to the frame? Then...

Do you have a trans temp gauge to keep an eye on this? You probably have 25 gauges and somehow I missed it. :D If that thermostat fails and you don't know it, you'll get the browns. I'm curious as to how much this helps.

Your very welcome! I happy someone could use it. SOLD

I'm already wasting my money on the YouTube subscription! :arghh: I suppose your "Only Fans" page is the busy one. :vomit: :D Yea, I wish I wasn't such a sucker for taking that guys word about getting paint done. Now would be a good time to make a mount. With my luck the bed would sit on it...

My subscription must have ran out. 🤣 I haven't received a notification to this thread. Looking good Nate! I like the battery relocation. Are they easier to get at than the pictures show? I would like to get my batteries out from under the hood as well.

Yes I do

You could have a picnic in the space above the transmission.

I know that gerotor and vane pumps don't like to be dry. I think gerotor even more so. I'm sure the large tube will help with priming,. That's a large volume of air its got to get through first. Did you decide to run hose rather than hard line for the ease of mounting? I wouldn't say your...

Good work Nate! All that welding will look good under the bed, just like my welding. :D Is your "lift" (dare I call it that) pump a vane or gerotor type? I'm curious how it will prime the first time with a pickup tube that big. What type of return line are you running? Tube rather than hose...

You have motivated me to get moving on my fuel system as well. I peeked under my truck yesterday and forgot how far forward the lift pump is from the fuel tank. Interesting position considering gasoline applications are close to the tank if not in the tank. (And yes I remember the days of the...

Looks real nice! I like the large suction tube approach. That is something I was told by a engine tuner a while back in reference to superchargers. They have no issues pushing through a distance of tube, but they don't like to suck through a small, long tube. You may want to consider running...
