I just replaced the factory VDO vacuum, and volt gauges on my motorhome yesterday. Luckily my trans temp gauge still works perfectly.
Let's go Brandon
1st comment too 😆
Oh yeah my VDO gauge reads 210 ish on my 1987 454, going off the temp port in the head between 2 cylinders on the right bank.
I'm toying with going to full port vacuum on the advance on the distributor to see if I can get the idle temp lower.
I'm running a 165 Edelbrock high flow thermostat.
Wish there was a way to private message you I could go into it real deeply with you on all of your issues, I'm constantly tinkering with mine out of boredom.
I also have every GM factory service manual, even the rare ones.
I switched to manifold vacuum and not ported today, now idle temp is about 170
nate. you seem very maticules in all the tasks that you take on, and you have a good imagination and eye for things. keep up the good work, and i always enjoy your videos.
Always making your home better...very nice. What you need now is a big egg salad sandwich on toast👍🇺🇸🥃
Really good clean job you did
My go-to adhesive remover is WD-40. It softens the glue and encapsulates it with oil so it doesn't re-stick. Its a much better cleaner than a lubricant in my opinion.
Agreed, I prefer 3 in One machine oil and penetrating oil for lubrication rather than WD40 which was designed as for Water Displacement.
Lighter fluid will take that adhesive right off. It’s good for removing a lot of gunky stuff without damaging a delicate surface. Works on plastic too, without harming it. I get it cheap at TSC.
Howcome you don't like your thumbnails?
Just remember to top up your fluids. All Good. Stay safe. Stay Cool. Regards
good to have backup gauges/a good job/thanks much
The new coolant sensor is mounted right on the top of the thermostat and might be reading higher there. Also…with it mounted up that high it might be in an air pocket? Just a thought.
I have a GMC truck and my temperature runs around 187ﾟ on the transmission.
Nice :)
In wisconsin get cold
Nice man. If you want some lenses made for those lights hit me up I can print some up on my 3D printer. They turn out pretty decent. Just have to tell me the measurements.
Pretty cool gesture from you Aqua!
its stupid how they put those stickers on those fittings
also first
Hey Nate,
I figured out alot about the temp readings on different ports and how to run the vacuum advance on the distributor.
If you want some help reply and I'll post up my email long enough for you to get it.
Check out the mechanical temp Guages. Might be more accurate
Use an IR heat gun on the block to check water temperature!
Quickest way to remove those annoying stickers is carb cleaner.
Do you get better fuel mileage with the electric fans? Also does this keep the engine cooler in stop and go traffic?
I see your HAM handbook there, are you still studying for your test? It's on my list of to do so I should just do it. Happy Thanksgiving!
Yup, about half way through, it's not too hard to learn imo. Happy Thanksgiving!
@@ClassALiving awesome! I’m gonna get on it!
Hate those PLASTIC SHRINK WRAP packages
Ficou muito bom!
Boa noite muito top serviço amigo
Break one and save one or what?
With them temp sensors you must be getting ready for some big trip,, don't forget to paint "Let's go Brandon" on the back of your rig
Sorry that don’t work. It HAS to be mounted in the pan for accurate temp.
Is this a video of how to remove stickers
WD40!!
Most vehicles with electric fans fans don't turn on until 212 degrees
210 is normal
