Fitting 35’s with minimal trimming NOW ADDING LONG TRAVEL AND 934 CV’s

I wanna see a loop de loop in the hoses.

 

This might be a stupid question, but for those who have done the Howe pump upgrade, where are you “grousing the factory wire? The factory eyelet isn’t large enough for the new bolts and I don’t see an easy alternative.

 

Just zip tied mine out of the way. There’s so many freaking ground wired on these trucks.

 

What’s this thing?



Don’t think this is needed when your truck is on Jack stands most of the year

 

Yeah I think that was probably 18 or 20 gauge. Stock is probably 22g. I used 16g on my firewall, but that stuff is pretty tough to work with and not really necessary I don't think.

 

I just left both wires (ground and sensor wire) disconnected and zip tied them out of the way.

 

I too left it all disconnected. No issues here.

 

I thought the consensus was that the idle jumps up a little with the wire grounded?

 

So, this is a stupid question, but I'm asking anyway.

Are the "Rear Shock Mounts" listed on the website for the SUA kit potentially compatible with a coilover for a link kit instead? Obviously coilovers are a much larger diameter, but I am curious if I can start parting things together/pricing out what I'd like to do.

 

My understanding is when the sensor wire is grounded the idle jumps. The unknown is if you'll eventually throw a code for leaving it grounded all of the time. @RonRon23 was going to test that but I'm not sure if he did.

 

I could have read those posts wrong. The switch is obviously not going anywhere. I thought the switch was just a pressure sensor but the ground helped the idle 100 RPM or so

regardless, this was my solution for a ground. I had some spare hardware from the inner fenders kit. Used one of the long .25” bolts and lock nut. I ground the nut down on 3 sides to fit it in the tab.

 

Silver truck with the cage has been grounded since day one

 

This is how I understand it. The ground that's bolted to the back of the pump is grounded all the time. When the pressure switch hits a certain pressure, it closes the switch and grounds out, thus jumping idle. So regrounding the ground doesn't actually do anything, grounding the pressure switch does.

*this is all my interpretation and I could be mistaken*

edit: I'm going to go out to my truck right now to test this.

edit2: no I'm not, it's hot outside.

 

You have it right.

 

how did you run the ground?

or better worded, how did you run the pressure switch wire?

 

You ever write a word enough times that it starts to not look like a word anymore? That's me and ground right now.

 

I forgot to ground it on my last drive. It jumps rpm but as @906taco mentioned, unknown if constantly grounded, will throw a code for that switch?

 

And you mean ground the sensor wire, correct?
