Just an FYI, Delphi Automotive is now Aptiv PLC. The original Delphi Automotive split into two companies in December 2017. Aptiv and Delphi Technologies. Aptiv is the automotive connectors and electronics part now. Delphi technologies is the vehicle propulsion and aftermarket solutions company.

Where do you buy one of those Cab carriers?

Not sure if you mean the one with black tires or red....either way, I fabbed them both up. The red one is the frame cart previously seen, I just added the wooden 4x4s.

But seriously, are you talking the frame cart or the cab cart? The frame cart is for a shortbed and now won't be used again for a while.

I would be happy to loan it out to someone "somewhat" local.

No worries I'll buy one.

ah-HA! after seeing this, one wonders, if you built a bar a bit up and across the seatbolts, then ran it out to 2 engine stands, hmmm. Cab on a spit. Hrmrm. Looks good!

Made a steering wheel to maneuver it around the shop.

Trans cooler lines done.

I have been watching your stuff for years!!!!

**N2TRUX** · 10-17-2019, 10:04 AM

I read through and might have missed it. Can you tell me about this switching valve? I plan to run a similar system on Jake.

Sorry folks, I was out of state a couple days.

This is the valve included in the kit I bought from GMACHINZ here on the board.

I appreciate the compliments all........some days I feel I will croak before I ever get the darn thing done.

aggie91 · 10-17-2019, 04:48 PM

Ken,

This is the selector valve:
http://products.pollakaftermarket.co...n-valve/42-159

Can handle up to 65psi fuel pressure.

This is the kit they offer that comes with the selector valve, a DPDT switch, the connector for the valve and a switch plate that has main & aux indications.

http://products.pollakaftermarket.co...n-valve/42-300

The link has another link to a installation sheet with a great diagram for installation. the factory wiring and dash switch can be used to control the valve also.

Out of curiosity what do these valves run since the website doesn't state such?

Naught · 05-18-2020, 09:16 AM

Very clean and detailed work!

About $73 on ebay, and another $20 if you need the connector...
