Did you put in an intercooloer? And what happened to your air filter?

Air Filter - http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/media/654408

No Filter - http://www.supermotors.net/vehicles/registry/media/664411

this is the air filter

So why all the custom air filter work?

to be different, looks cool, colder air intake, more horsepower, ect.....

Looked at the supermotors pics- awesome conversion! Can you run all the electric heaters at once or do you have to sequence them? How hard was the 120 Amp Alternator upgrade?

I guess you'll have to wait for winter to really try it out.

Great job!!

basic bolt in alt. and yes i can run all ele. heaters at once.just need to upgrade wire to battery.

If you didn't run the beefy sound system, would you be able to get by with just one battery? I have an 84 300SD for which I am making plans to convert. Which alternator did you use and where did you get it from?

Thanks, Mark

whats that stuff you encased the fuel lines in?

Looks like Ultra Copper RTV, but my question would be, why?

because theinline heaters get hot and for weather protection
