November 2011~ Stereo and other troubleshooting |
|
- 'Stereo' install:
- setup does not include a head unit. Plan to use the following:
- small (marine) 4 channel amp
- PAC LC1 Remote Amplifier Level Controller
- iSimple IS75 PolyWire Universal iPod/iPhone/Aux Interface Cable
- allows charging and connection with one cable
- fabricated mounting plate for amp and volume control - to be placed inside glove box area
- troubleshooting amp problems - only getting audio from channels 1 & 2 (4 channel amp)
- Misc:
- removed starter to tighten oil pans bolts
- modified oil breather
- was leaking oil onto top surface of vavle cover
- bent 'tabs' on bottom of breather - much tighter fit
- fabricated transmision cart - to create more free space in the garage
- swapped out battery for one with black top (instead of bright yellow)
