MT Accumulator Delete Mod (ADM) and BS Thread

Ya, I do like it up here. Have space to roam and think. Looking to move out of the city here in a few years, then it's gonna be better. Love the winter driving as well

Trying to get things shipped here internationally is a pain though (almost enough to make me wanna move south of the border). Currently paying $1.26 on every $1 on anything international (plus conversion fees). Then the advertised "free shipping" is free everywhere except to Canada. Once you've bitten that bullet and think your free, customs fess come and finish you off. Pretty sure I just spent and extra $1000 on my suspension upgrade in additional fees and crap.

 

I'd argue that Princess Auto is closer to HF. They have Power Fist brand, which is pretty cool for the name alone.

 

Actually you're right. I was confusing PA and CT.

 

There's never a perfect situation. Room to roam is my goal though. The matter is convincing my wife.

Ah! There also.

Yeah. Power Fister is hilarious.

 

Ah yes, good ol power fist. Questionable quality, at an unbeatable price. Think I picked up four 3ton jack stands for $20 a pair

 

I do believe it's something I forget about and take for granted. The ability to hit the open highway and be hours from a major city despite being on a main highway

 

Yeah that sounds like HF quality alright

 

Sure thing, probably still a few weeks out due to time availability. I just wanted to do a little research prior to the brake line swap and ADM, and didn't think my question would be answered right away. Usually takes some digging.

I have had a few occasions where it would feel like my clutch didn't fully disengage with the clutch on the floor, but that probably just requires a bleed. Hoping to improve consistancy, feel, and wanting to get rid of the lagging clutch in -30:

 

There are some issues with the clutch when it is cold. The ADM may help a bit, but folks say that it can still be weird on the first shift or two.

 

For my experience it made it from two or three shifts down to about one shift before it got normal. But that's a ambient temperatures below say 20° Fahrenheit. Pretty sure at that point it's just the fact that clutch fluid gets a little thick when it's super cold

 

Yes. Un-boosted clutch fluid is going to me more sensitive than other areas on a car. But, I have no real idea here as I might have felt it once after camping out on a cold night. I just know that folks have said that the ADM doesn't help much, or at all, with the cold clutch issue.

 

It’s not 100% but it’s definitely better

if I give it a few pumps when I first start up the truck, it’ll be ok. Before you were just stuck with it until it decided to cooperate

 

You can come live here in the Arctic for science

 

Not my kind of experiment. LoL!

I'd rather test the situation long term in Hawaii, but I'll take the PNW kind of science.

 

Hmmm

 

Is there anything that ya'll recommend I do at the same time as the accumulator delete? For example, is it a convenient time to change the MT fluid? Or not? Excuse my ignorance. Appreciate any input.

 

Bleeding the brakes with fresh fluid is about all that I can think of.

MT fluid is simple and the drain and fill plugs are on the right side. Swapping in some Redline MT-90 will improve shifts. But, it is extra work as far as the ADM is concerned.

You could fish an endoscope up the bellhousing and take a look at the plastic coolant crossover pipe as there have been leaks reported there.

 

Hmmm, well dang. When it's cold, that clutch never does free up on the drive home. Was really hoping this improved that. Oh well, still gonna give it a shot

 

Adm does not help my clutch when it's cold.

Still slow

 

Add another to the pile. I used the Honda line. I have to say I didn’t want to do this mod… I guess I’m was worried about fucking it up. So, I actually did it because I added in an aux fuse tray, and had to shorten the reservoir hose, so I’m using the excuse to drain a little fluid. But holy shit, the difference. I have a dirt portion on our driveway, it chirped on the way up, unreal change of power. But, I think I still have a little bubble in the line, my clutch feels real “funny”
