Sorry for that. :haha:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Instead of powering the compressor, I use the relay to switch on the ground. Make sense? :mm:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan, if you ever have a question about wiring, this guy is a genius with it. I cant tell you how many times i have had a wiring question about air suspension or just my truck in general and he has hit it right on EVERY time.
fixit-p

Awesome guy.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Lots of progress, looking good!! I'm still not getting notifications on your thread like I used too so I forget to stop by more often

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

After I commented, I started to think. I'm about to wire up the fan on the 57 Panel I'm working on. Here's American Auto Wire's diagram. I'm going to install the relay close to the fan.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

This thread has quit showing up in my mailbox notifications also.
The other threads I am subscribed to are still working... I will have to look into this when I get time

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I made these diagrams to help my customers.

This is how I wire up a compressor for air bags with the relay switching positive power. It can be used for cooling fans also.

This one is with negative switching. I think it works best for higher amp draws. Use a 30/40 amp relay. I never had overheated wires or terminals this way.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Just a quick note, I'm not getting all the notifications either from any threads. I think I got two notifications all day from other threads. It's really sporadic.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I get all the notices. No problem here. ;)
Maybe it your Smart Phone settings?

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

who's your email carrier? I'm looking into it...

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

You may know it already but for those that don't, you have to visit the forum every time you get a notice from a thread in order to get another notice. You only get one notice from a thread before they require you to visit to reset your notifications.

I think it's one of the most annoying things ever so I just set up cron jobs to visit the forums every few minutes to keep me updated :)
:mm:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I understand the frustration with that and used to feel the same way....but now with close to 5000 subscribed threads I appreciate that I'm not sent an email for every new post :haha:

I already get well over a hundred emails a day from this site...it'd be more like 5-600 if i got one for every single post :chevy:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I use yahoo. I check my build at least once a day and here lately I hardly get any notifications of new post. There are a couple post I get notifications daily and haven't checked that particular thread for some time. Thanks for looking into it. ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

No prob...I'll let you know when I find out something...one way or another :D

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Whenever you log onto the forum you'll (or at least should) get new notifications for ALL threads you've subscribed to...not just the ones that you've actually visited.

Can you check and make sure a notification email didn't get into a spam folder possibly? That is a problem that's been mentioned...

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

If I go to user cp when I sign in I can see all updated threads.

I did get one notification just now for you recent reply. I didnt get one for your last message. I check spam about every other day and haven't seen anything there.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Liz mentioned that others have had issues with Yahoo mail. Try this:

I'm pretty sure the spam thing isn't it but see if you add the site to the allowed list if that helps...

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Yep. Yahoo (& ATT) were blocking/auto-spamming my responses also. I use another account for my board(s) e-mail.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

since my last visit i have not gotten any notification from your thread

I am aware that you have to visit to keep getting updates and I also get mail from this site on one thread that I rarely visit and then I got the updates today on 198Plus build which i posed a comment last night

I am using Yahoo and it has not been an issue in the past until the last few months I suppose I will follow Liz's advice and see if it changes anything

Thanks

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan I don't get notifications from your thread either.........I think your thread has screwed the Internet up with your view count and post :lol:

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks for the info. :metal:

Thanks Kevin, my notifications are hit-n-miss

Thanks for the pics.

I signed into yahoo at home and can't find where it is i need to go to add the site to be allowed. Why does it work good at times then it doesn't?

I have gotten 2 notifications today for this thread.


:haha: you might be right. ;)

I'm still running wires inside the cab. Nothing really to post about as far as progress.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I'm doing the fan wiring on the 57 Panel. When I'm done I'll post pictures.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I followed Liz's Advice and it seems as though it may have worked, I just got the e-mail so maybe it is working now!!!

To Do what Liz suggest is basically just adding the e-mail address of the e-mail from the site to your contact list

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I am using MSN for my mail. I am subscribed to a lot of threads here but not all are sending a notification of at least one new response or bump to the thread.

Dennis Why are you switching grounds???
When I was programming DC systems I know you can either sink or source a DC signal... I was just wondering why you choose to do it this way..

I always hate the thought of switching a neutral (in AC ) or a ground (in DC) . If the ground wire shorts out before it gets to the relay contacts , the load is energized on with no way to shut it down. in a motor load this can be dangerous.
But, If the hot lead is switched through the contacts then to the load, And something shorts , the fuse blows, if the ground shorts after the load , well it is grounded anyway, no problems

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I mount the relay close to the Compressor, or in this case the cooling fan. Small chance of anything shorting the ground to ground. I've been doing it this way for years and never had a comeback or a problem. The other way is good too if you use the correct size wires, and have good connections. You can also have a problem if the plus wire shorts to ground.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I'll try that, thanks.

A few pics of progress, not much to see. The mess in the floor is organized madness. ;)

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Blasted the inside trim panels. Both are done.

I also need some suggestions on which steering wheel to use. Ya'll got any?

Here's a pic of a Impala wheel. Don't know if I want an OE look or a billet.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

i say go with the billet! that grey would liked of match the roof, the chrome on the wheel would match the inside pieces and since you've customized your truck that impala steering wheel wouldnt look right to me!! but thats just my .02 cents

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I put this one on the 57 Panel I'm working on.
http://belair.smugmug.com/Other/Kust...P1040502-L.jpg

You can also get a 59 wheel that is made into a 15" er.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

if you could find 59 impala wheel in gray that would be nice, just cant get enough of that dash, man that thing is sweet.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

I vote for the Billet wheel!!

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Definetly like the idea of the 59 wheel and the one strodder showed can be painted to match your gray.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

you have an impala dash you should go with impala steering wheel

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Impala

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Since the Impala wheel is paintable, I'm leaning that way. Thanks for the input.

I'm liking it. Maybe just paint the top and bottom section of the band between the chrome rings the same color silver as the roof and gauge pods. Leaving the center and left and right hand grips black.


Thanks, Man!! What about the idea I mentioned above.

I was thinking billet til I saw the Impala wheel is paintable. BTW, thanks for the input.

:agree: X3

The wiring is done unde the cab. :haha: That's what it looked like once I got under it.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/gallery/...-09-18_001.JPG

Not sure about this route for the wires. Trying to keep it in the rails and away from the headers. These wires are for the starter, lights, and horn so far. I will keep them away from the A arm if I decide to run it this way for sure.

And routed up under the battery on the right rail.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Looking nice Alan, and nice choice on the steering wheel.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Alan, just an idea, get some small PVC, and run the wires through it. You can clamp the PVC to the inside of the inner fenders.

Re: Project Vitamin C-10
 

Thanks David.

I'll look into that some more. In hind sight I should have welded some tubing up inside the channel of the inner fenders. That way I could route and protect the wires to the radiator support.

Got some relays for the headlight upgrade.

Also brushed another coat of urethane on the wood. I know ya'll are tired of seeing pics of the wood (so am I), but it is driving me crazy. I know the way I want it too look.
