    Aight I’ve had it.

    I swapped the fan leads going into the MSD and the problem followed, which makes you think it’s a fan issue right? Well both fans spool up and sound the exact same when applied directly to 12v.

    I also noticed a little bit of copper corrosion on the ground terminal, which I cleaned, but now I’m thinking I don’t have the right solution to this problem. I could use normal boring relays again, but I want them to look good, which isn’t how it did last time I used normal relays.

    Any ideas here? I don’t think I’m going to pull either of the fans given that they both work fine.

    Okay, so my solution to the AC problem is ordered. I had a PCB designed to the specs of my ac spoofer schematic, but the best part is, it’s an arduino shield, so it’ll just snap right onto the back of the arduino mega and will work! It has a couple screw terminals on top for 12v input to power the board, and the 3 waveform outputs.

    Only thing is, I had to order 5 of them. So anyone need one? Hahahah

    Just driving down the street at 55, is it loud inside with all that added tubing and steel panels?

    Yes, but it’s not the steel and panels that does it. It’s the shocks. The big 3.0 bypasses click so loudly, and it gets transmitted through all the tube right above your head. It’s insanely loud. And that’s driving in a flat parking lot at 5mph. At speed over anything is even worse

    I have a solution just need to finish the wiring and then the hoses etc

    I got a module of a TW member here from @Braddman that does the engine temp and AC in one.

    Put some sweet Baja designs stickers on the switch pros. Now I need the @Baja Designs lights. I have about 10k worth of lights that need ordered, between the tundra, the raptor, and some laser goodies for the Tacoma.

    Someone pls buy my set of 5 KMC’s. I’ll make you a sweetheart deal.

    Quad lock phone mount for the taco. Have the same thing coming for the tundra and the raptor. I think I kinda wanna change out this lever style head for the mag style charging head, but I don’t know if my phone would stay attached to the mag head while going ham in the truck. So I got both just in case.

    So let me preface this with:IMG_5824.jpg

    115* outside. Get me out of here.


    But I decided that work needed done and the taco needed fixed.

    IMG_5836.jpg IMG_5837.jpg

    replaced the weather MSD solid state relay with good old fashioned IP65 rated fuses and relays. The wire spaghetti looks like garbage, but it works, and it’s reliable. So it stays.

    IMG_5839.jpg

    tomorrow the new coolant reservoir goes in, and this thing will be fixed. Just waiting on that custom PCB to arrive so I have working AC again before I dare to daily this thing. My left arm is super tan compared to my right arm, from having the windows down. Wife started to make fun of me for it :rofl:
