M4wd&Fabrications

new open center 4 port orbital installed with rear steer spool valve in series.  works mint.  3.5 turns lock to lock (lots of steering angle!) and rear stear works great. 

thermostat had no bleed hole and would not open to allow engine to pass coolant.  gutted t stat and all good.  if i get a new one i might put a 3/8" hole in it and keep the stat functional. 


rips around good, gearing with 3.73 seems like it would be crawlable so 5.38s should be nice.   


on to hit list for a shake down run.  a little bit a fabrication left and wire/plumbing clean up.

lots of work left, but glad its moving, charging, cooling, holding oil. 


brakes and hubs / gears and such lol

more wires

65psi oil pressure while cranking with starter motor / turbo feed bled

I've been looking, not hard at all, for trans temp on my Ram.  When I looked into it a while back, I guess Ram doesn't like to share their data without paying fee's and I couldn't find a phone app that did.

It doesn't say it doesn't work...

TFT Transmission Fluid Temperature
Not all vehicles report TFT. In some cases where TFT is not reported, you may be able to implement this gauge through the X-GAUGE programmable gauge system. Check online at www.ScanGauge.com/support for your specific vehicle.
