Joe B's Everyone Else's Truck Is Better, Converted and Swapped Build

18 wheelers have this?

 

just get a 2 speed rear axle as well, you’d really be cruising!

A little more progress today. Though of course I didn’t take a pic. But I got the brake/clutch master cylinder swapped in and all the lines run to the slave cylinder. Also, picked up my lengthened rear driveshaft.

Still need to:

- Route the transmission breathers
- Bolt in the crossmember
- bleed the brakes and clutch system
- install the driveshafts
- button up the interior

 

All little shit now. You’re in the home stretch.

 

Do you have an ecu?

 

Yup. Hoping to be driving it on Saturday.

 

Yes, I already swapped in the manual ECU and got the truck running. It was pretty much plug and play.

 

I digestive CO with Progressive Bypasses

 

Icons are digestive shock kings are progressive on that build thread you linked. His mismatched the 2 styles of shocks tuning valving and controlling of the springs. To me that's very counter intuitive. It'd be one thing to have an Icon paired with a Billie both digestive or Kings paired with Radflo both progressive but it's not.

 

I was just showing Joe an example of dual shock MT. Youd have to get some more input from @Airdog on the ride quality.

Ill be getting dual shocks later this year. I already have Kings, so the second shock should pair nicely with what I have.

 

When you run a dual shock setup you should valve the coilover to just be a coil carrier which entails removing some valving from the coilover. The bypass shock does the majority of the work in the big stuff . The digressive design of the icons piston doesn’t really come into play because of the light valving in it.

 

I don’t feel like I’m ever going to get all the air out of the clutch system. There’s a shit ton of tiny bubbles.

 

Got a Mityvac that you can use to put a vacuum on the bleed port?

 

Nope.

 

I’d say you’re doing right then.

 

Bike tube/ tire valve stem and a length of hose that'll attach to the bleeder? Use the valve stem as a 1 way valve so that you can leave the bleeder cracked open while pushing on the clutch pedal.

Edit: something along these lines but using the valve stem as a check valve instead of the fancy cnc'd peice.

 

Interesting. I might be able to whip something up.
