Bro, make me a breakfast sandwich

 

Anyone want some taillights? Pay shipping

 

Look at the size of this monster

 

Much needed fun this weekend in Hot Springs. Our camping group out on a run.

 

Gonna have power steering for days.

 

I hope it helps

adding the filtered and baffled res, the extra 12oz of capacity, and synthetic fluid is about all I can do besides changing the pump or box. I've been running plain ISO32 and the system builds a ton of heat even after adding a cooler.

I have a turned up pump on the shelf that I need a bracket/pulley for but this needed to be done first anyways

I got it hot enough to melt the gasket on my stainless res last trip lol

 

Does it not have a pressure bypass?

 

Me: yeah, I got motivation and I'm gonna get shit done today



Also me: it's clamped up, I'll do it tomorrow

 

it does, I have a quart sized overflow bottle off of the top of the res that is vented. The fluid got hot enough that the seal on the resi itself melted and was leaking. I put a couple wraps of duct tape around the top and made it through the last day of wheeling without it leaking but the tape was melted by the end lol

 

I wonder why it's getting so hot

 

Very bucolic place for it to decide it needed a break.
(Makes the case for keeping an emergency book in the seat/door pocket though)

 

If I had to guess the box needs a rebuild. It's the only component that hasn't been replaced at least once. I've just never touched it because it doesn't leak and _shouldnt_ typically cause this kind of problem lol

Gone through multiple pumps/resis, rebuilt the ram, replaced lines already

 

Maybe I'll dig a 120mm fan out and wire it up to the steering cooler lol

 

6hrs later, 4 hours of driving ahead.

 

I thought she was going to come with a U-Haul truck too... This is the ballsier move. Also crank them airbags up what's with the sag

 

Does the old 22R have a radiator shroud still. Getting it to pull air through all the coolers might help if it doesn't

 

I've literally been eating left over quesadillas for breakfast every morning, I have zero energy to make anything for myself lol

 

The ADD was strong

 

@Speedytech7

Using that cable wrap you recommended some 2 years ago; still got a lot left over

 

If you have peanut butter and jelly with them I'm in.
