The airflow need not be a huge amount. The Noctua NF-f12 1200MM fan uses a miserly 0.05 amps, and comes with low noise adapters, which are inline reistors which slow fan more and reduce amp draw more. Cool electronics are happy electronics. I exhaust my electrical cabinet, but I've never really...

The solenoid does not have to go in engine compartment. It can go right next to Aux battery if you desire, or anywhere along the fat cable between starter battery (+)or alternator (+) to Aux battery (+).  The only issue is running the solenoid trigger wire is a greater distance. But it is...

The original alternator to engine battery circuit is already fused You are fuiing the house battery.  there is no fuse needed at the alternator if taking taking power from there. but if you take power for House battery from engine battery, a fuse must be located close to both batteries...

I have a similar circuit breaker, but a 30 amp one, inbetween my solar controller and battery. I can measure voltage drop across it,  and it gets noticeably  warmer than surrounding area when solar is making 7+ amps. I thouroughly despise it. I have another cheapo circuit breaker, Absolut...

Put the fuse before the buss bar. This can clean up a lot of wiring, if you have the room on top of the battery for the extra height of the fuses https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002INJXO6/ref=twister_B071H9NL9G?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 WHile powerng the solenoid from engine battery works, the original...

The lower the avergae depth of discharge, the higher the solar wattage to battery capacity ratio needs to be. But other charging sources applied, especially early morning when the batteries can gobble up lots of amps, can mitigate the less than ideal ratio. If one only every discharges their...

When firefly Oasis does have stock to sell, it could be from their new factory, in India..............

Mainesail has forgotten more than I know. After a LA battery only has 80% of its capacity remaining, the potential for a cell shorting out increases greatly. Not that it is easy to figure out just when a battery crosses that threshold. An Acurate test of a 100Ah battery is if it can privide...

Agreed on the drilled and slotted. No real benefits other than on the track. I have brembo rotors, made in Mexico, and Hawk HPS pads. Onceupon a time, my brakes were scary and anemic. That is far from true today.

It Appears the A-500 is an A-904 with an overdrive unit tacked on the end. http://www.allpar.com/mopar/torqueflite.html Perhaps there are several models for the D or W series truck would work: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/rsd-ttc7801/applications/make/dodge/engine-size/5-2l-318 I've...

I had not, thanks, Wish they provided the tube diameter and threaded end dimensions. I have a A-500 4 speed overdrive transmission. not sure the A904 or a 727 lines are a simple bolt up. They only list parts for a D250 or a W250, not a B250. DiD the original steel lines thread into...

Nice Pix.  I guess there are arugments for physically  mounting Aux coolers either before or behind the radiator.  I am not seeing it being easy to mount mine  behind radiator without makng relief cuts in the fan shroud. The lines coming out  my transmission are 5/16" diameter.  The 5/16 inch...

Seeing a voltage, but not knowing how many charging amps are flowing at that voltage is misleading, especially to those who believe that voltage directly eqates to state of charge. A well depleted battery might require 80 amps to instantly be brought upto 14.4v.  The charging source/solar...

Ok, after it will be. Looking forward to doing it right.  I've got a tube and fin cooler, about 6x10 inches.  Wish I could afford to upgrade at this point. Always mounted it where it was most convenient to reach and attach and inspect.  In front of radiator.

Excellent point. I do a lot of short trip driving these days.  Warmer thinner ATF achieved faster might contribute to slightly better fuel economy. When I climbed underneath yesterday coming back from ocean 1.5 miles away, I doubt transmission was more than 110f. AUX after radiator certainly...

Pulling a cable from solar controller to battery while the sun is shining on solar panels can fry many solar controllers. Most will say to disconnect or cover the solar panels from charge controller before disconnecting charge controller from battery. I've heard batteries gurgle, i've heard...

It does. My Dodge's radiator cooler is in the bottom radiator tank, the upper tank receives coolant from 195f thermostat and the bottom tank should be considerably cooler, if it is doing its job. My FSM says the ideal ATF temperature is 175F. I don't have any data but if it goes through...

HDR, whats your reason for the additional cooler after the radiator cooler instead of before? Seems my a-500 uses 11/32 diameter lines, just to be special. Seems the rust is only in the areas of the pipe directly in the slipstream, the portion that rises to the transmission is nice and clean...

The MV-50 can really use some spit and polish, but at a minimum open up the aircleaner's inlet holes, and get an allen wrench and tighten the 4 head bolts evenly. If it stops working mysteriously, the wires inside the endcap have pulled from the crimp nuts. Pretty easy fix, but prevention is...

Do you plumb your additional TX cooler before or after the one in the radiator? I'm perusing the options regarding the steel portions of the lines, and where I decide to install the derale remote filter mount. I am using a Magnefine inline filter currently and will delete it. It weeps ATF...
