MT Accumulator Delete Mod (ADM) and BS Thread

First off, let me state that on all things unrelated to ktjo grab handle, I consider @tonered to be the fountain of knowledge and wisdom . If I were coming into this today I'd just bust out the dremel and bug Tony for help if I get in trouble b/c he's that nice of a guy. The downside to that approach is the downtime while you're dremeling but I assume that portion isn't all that long? I am tempted to try doing mine with the dremel since I have it sitting around, but I'm 2016 and the kit mod is pretty stealth as it mostly sits under the heat shield so I don't think there's much of any real concern if I ever do go to the dealer.

My solution on the delete was to use a kit made by TW user Trident who no longer makes the kit. I think you could probably source the components and pre-fab the line to match the pictures posted of the kit he used to make if you really wanted to, though I don't know where he sourced parts from. I don't think I have leaks but I'm not checking it all that often and I drive about 40 miles a month maybe?

I did bleed the clutch all by my lonesome. I asked the wife to help for 2 person operation and she just laughed at me for how stupid I could be to even think that was an appropriate use of her time. My 5 year old can't really reach the pedals and would probably punk me by taking the ebrake off and throwing it in neutral, so I'd have to pre-stage some cinder blocks and my 3 year old, though sweet and much more willing to attempt to follow directions, well, he's only good at breaking or dropping things. So, yeah, I don't really get much of any help with truck mods...

 

Why not just use a flexible brake line? You could leave the accumulator bolted still and just bypass it.

If your line is leaking, I imagine its because you buggered something up like the threading.

 

Thanks!

 

Did you ever swap yours for the dremel version?

 

Not yet. I have a bad motivation problem at the moment. On the shelf is the dremel mod with a new unused Dremel since my 20yr old one is TU, the 400w mod with a rear seat outlet, the anytime fog mod, some DD Pro Floods, and I just ordered some Nioco.

 

Different stuff, but that sound suspiciously like my mod shelf.....

 

It's problematic.

 

i have literally everything off my truck at the moment, and about 75 sq ft of nioco i need to lay down this weekend. Doors, seats, storage, panels, console... going all out!

 

Geez. That is gonna be quiet.

 

sounds like a springtime project for the lazy procrastinators of the world (TW).

 

Yeah, but I've had some of this stuff since summer or longer. LoL!

 

I've sat on mods for over a year. Then I read some horror story on here then never do it. (not the adm mod, yet)

 

Procrastinating isn't bad, but there have been times when I could have used the functionality of the mods. Oh well.

 

I've found if you wait long enough, half of them you don't really need. The ones I do need are not available for the MT, we get no love. So I bought a welder and plasma cutter and doing my own.

 

The only questionable one is the anytime fogs. I haven't needed them out late as we don't have the deer problem like back east.

Just a motivation problem.

 

You got me going on fog lights. I wouldn’t ever want them on with high beams but would be super nice to have them on without low beams.

Is yours a kit? Or home brewed?

I’m contemplating a home brewed solution which would feed in at the connector behind the front bumper

 

What's not available for the MT?

 

You can have them on with DRLs

 

Yes, which at this point means my grille lights on too and the combo of DRL + grille might be more glare than I’d care for if I encountered legit fog conditions. I’m not sure and likely won’t ever encounter such a situation but it would be nice to have completely independent control.
