No visual clues. If you want to start there just replace it and go from there

I'll call dealer on Monday and add that to my order. They're also bringing in some paint so I can finish the hood louver.

What about the initial point? Going to 5W-30 in summer could also help?

Being that your in Colorado idk if your temps get hot enough to warrant it. I will have to look at the viscosity chart again

It's been hitting 90s consistently lately

Damn didn't know it got that hot there lol

The 5-30 will help then but you will prob not notice a difference in temps

Anyway to visually know or just replace it and see what happens?

You can check to see if it is operating correctly with a pot of water & a candy thermometer. See what temp it opens & check against what cap is rated at.

You should dimple die the shit out of that! Give it a little air flow and it would look cool

Interesting idea. Gonna keep it simple in hopes of actually finishing a project in the same day I start it. If the compressor starts overheating, I may come back and drill a bunch of 1/2" holes in it. Fans point out to the door so hoping it pulls enough in that way.

The one I built was out of sheet metal and it's been fine. And i have a lot of gear up against it too.

 

[GraniteCrystal]

Almost there!

Well those legs are on the wrong sides. This is better.

Put the seat back in. It fits! Clearance is tight, but we're good to go. Now just need to wire it up to battery.
