Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
"Due to the thermal expansion of rubber coolant hoses, LPE does not recommend using
worm gear clamps to clamp the hoses to the intercooler pump. Because worm gear clamps
do not apply constant tension to the hoses, the hoses can leak when exposed to cooler
temperatures. LPE recommends the use of the OEM constant-tension clamps or spring
clamps as superior alternatives to the standard worm gear clamp."

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Time to troubleshoot

of course the place that sales the 3/4" I.D. clear hose by the foot was out of the 3/4" I.D. clear hose, so off to Home Depot I went (like a fool) and instead of buying just one foot of it I had to buy a spool, at California prices mind you !

Maybe this freed up a junk drawer or two. Sounds like you may need them.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
with the plumbing done and the pump pumping it was time to affix the first gen Chevy Volt onboard battery

unlike it's cousin the DC DC converter the charger's feet are flat on the aluminum plate so I couldn't wedge a nut under them to hold the bolts in the plate so I had tap the aluminum plate so that I could screw them in, last thing we need is bolts falling down on a 351 volt battery pack

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
after two trips to ACE Hardware where I bought the wrong length bolts twice, I finally managed to get the 1 1/4" long ones that would not bottom out on the acorn nuts, cause that's what matters most here when building an electric vehicle and is time well spent

also that "water proof" battery tray lid now has more holes in it than fancy Swiss cheese

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
had to do a little minor repair on the first gen Chevy Volt onboard battery charger, the coupling for the regular car battery cables was loose and I needed to get inside to turn the nut on it

ha ha, this reminded me of years ago when I was removing some umbrella kids strollers off the hooks in my garage going FINALLY some space for MY stuff, and as I was coming off the step ladder to put them on the floor, my wife was handing me kids bikes (you know the ones with no pedals) just to hang up in the place of them strollers I took down !!!

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I really want to convert my C10 to an EV, as it fits my entire ethos, but this looks so incredibly daunting that there's just no way I could take it on. Very impressive MacGuyvering skills you have!
