so i checked the motor over just bc i hadn’t looked at it in awhile and found that the DS PTO cover was leaking. i had reused the old gasket from the allison and i guess it didn’t seal back up right when j reinstalled. anyway. i pulled it off and put a new on one. pleased with the way the insides looked



i put a new felpro gasket back on with the ever so slightest film of RTV around the very outside to help seal it up. i’m crazy hesitant to put RTV in or around a trans for fear of it floating around. but this was extreme outside of gasket and literally a film.. so i think i’m good. and it’ll be good and dry before it gets run again. i may do the same to the PS while i can bc it’s easy.

also.. any of you 6.6 guys ever seen this on the oil cooler/filter housing? i can’t seem to find the washers that seem to be leaking anywhere. all the rebuilds have the orings and larger crush washers did the coolant but not the copper ones under these bolts. unless i’m missing something..?



i know it’s cruddy .. and i think after looking at the pics realized what may have happened. when pulling the motor it may have hit something, squished the aluminum housing a bit at the seal/gasket area and caused it to start leaking. im going to get a brush and clean it off and see if i can’t locate it for sure. maybe just pull it off to give it a good cleaning anyway?

can anyone confirm that these are indeed just copper crush washers?

finally drove me crazy and went over there to fix the frame/bed issue



just cut straight down to just above the bottom curve to maintain correct length and square. then ground out the cut until the numbers matched. after that. tossed the bed on and burned it in to place.

much more better

Good choice IMO.

What washers are you talking about, the ones under the pressure relief valves?

i guess..? i’m not sure what they are. but i saw the bolt heads and just thought they were plugs. i can’t find them anywhere. or even an exploded diagram of those parts apart..

I would try to tighten it first. They don't start leaking for no reason.

They're either aluminum, or copper washers. .. FYI they're under pressure.

now.. that’s pretty cool i must say.

ready for paint (need to double check but i think it’s paint ready rust inhibitor. no washing necessary. in fact i really feel like i remember it saying it was an adhesion promoter)

Heating and cooling. Good luck with that. lol (runs through bcm).

You might be able to get a non-memory seat switch to make that part of the system basically one wire, but the heating cooling would require some brain power.

so.. ive figured out the way to make the driver seat work. have to bypass the memory on pin 23 to allow it to work.

passenger is just hot and ground. moves all directions and to the fullest. so at least i have that.

i’ll try and see if i can get them working at some point. still a long way off. hahah.

any ideas if the motors/heaters are ground or power switched?

Motors for cooling?

I have a hard time reading those new style schematics, but looks like the heating elements are pulse controlled.... probably to control temps.

ive been doing some reading on these seats and it seems like the new ones utilize a peltier effect to heat and cool. like a heat pump. but liquid/gas less. i don’t know for sure. but that seems to be the consensus. so there is a blower motor that forces warm and cool air through the seat. but i can’t confirm that.

i’m glad the power works. heat would be nice. but all 3 would be AMAZING hahah

I’ve read the same about the peltier method. The newer seats don’t actually cool, they just ventilate. The cooling has to off-put the heat somewhere, and that somewhere is in to the back seat. I guess the rear passengers weren’t too keen on that.

couldn’t care less about the back seat. there’s a reason they’re in the back  :evil:

and these have the back vent from what i can see.

maybe they’re not ‘18s. i wish i had a part number on the to know for sure.

passenger side needed some work. came from a wrecked truck and the airbag deployed

before



during



after



came out pretty well i think.

now i have a full interior. once the rain stops (hahah) i’ll go p
drop both fronts and the console in.

ive considered cutting up a wrecked +’15 truck to pull the clips and holes that secure the seat to the floor and weld them in the appropriate places in the ‘89 3+3 floor pan. that way they install like factory.

thoughts?

If they don't fully recline like many GM seats. There may be a collar you can remove from the lead screw. Did that on mine and both front seat fully recline now.

Do you have access to the donor? I feel like this is something you’d have already done and finished. Factory style mounting would be great. Yes, you should do this.

Just makes things easier. Our seat mounts in the dodge are 100% fabricobbled. And may need to be modified. Where as if you use something that is sort of direct fit, you shouldn’t need to modify it. My thought ms Atleast.
