That's a nice looking rad, what brand.
That's a nice looking rad, what brand. What are you looking to know about the camper, I have a slide in that I use a lot in the summer.
Do you run heavier duty springs in the rear with your camper? My main concern is suspension sag. That, and stability on the road. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
Yes i run heavy springs. You will get lots of sway if you dont. You can try grabbing flat over loads from any truck at a junk yard. Then mount bump stops at the ends of them so your leafs sit on them before the camper is slid on. When your not using the slide in take the bump stops off so you still have a nice ride.
Please keep us updated on Your temp as You drive it.
Looks lean to Me
Good choice on the 180 thermostat, i had the same experience as you. On my 20/22r with weber 38, to have it bog or be sluggish because of a too rich condition, it has to be extremely rich, where the gauge shows 9:1 afr which is the lowest it will register. However, a slightly lean hiccup can cause it to bog or hesistate, as little as 16:1 on acceleration. Keep us updated this is interesting!
After a quick drive around, I took it up a hill here in SLC. The temp stayed "normal" the whole time, but went up to 210°! Fan didn't kick on. At this point, I'm just going to assume the temp rising to 210° is Normal. I may drill a hole in the thermostat and see if it makes a difference? LCE told me 180-210° is completely acceptable. The thermostat itself fully opens at 212°. Should I just stop worrying and drive the damn thing? If there was a real overheating issue (HG) it wouldn't fluctuate, it'd constantly climb. Only other thing I can think of is a dual stage thermostat. Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
Will do. Went ahead and pulled the first spark plugs and (Cyl #1) to get an idea if it's running overly rich/lean. Plug actually looks pretty good
Heated or unheated O2 sensor?If unheated, sensor isn't hot enough at idle for valid reading.
The company Innovative recommends at least 24" downstream from the exhaust port, but they don't say how far is too far, and AEM recommends at least 36". I think your location is good, seems to be within a couple of inches where I placed mine. The important thing is to install it between 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock, ideally at 12. That way the moisture and condensation doesn't accumulate in the sensor, this reduces the life of the o2 dramatically. Tune the idle to maximum vacuum and where the engine runs best and don't focus on the AFR reading. This is a tip I have seen mentionned in many tuning tutorials, I ended up at around 12.3-12.5 at idle.
