Mine should be here Wed. and I am hoping to find somewhere that can weld it in on Thur. I have a couple friends with garages and welders that I can try to talk into helping me probally cost me a case of beer is all...LOL I will take photos also when I get it done.

 

Alrighty, Fedex man dropped it off today. Initial reaction; very impressed for the price. Seems well built, very solid. After looking over the design, the valve assembly bolts onto the Y-pipe, and then the motor bolts onto the valve assembly, so if either decides to go, should be a simple job to replace. The motor and valve are completely sealed from the outside elements, so no worries about water damage. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is the control module is not weather proof, and will have to be mounted somewhere behind the dash board, but that's really no biggie. Here's some more pics and a video of it in action:

Looks good

 

looks sweet. so the control module should be mounted inside or outside the cab? cant wait to here the sound

 

Oh I like that!! It opens much faster than the DMH. The DMH takes what about 4sec or so to open while that one is basically press it once and its opne press it again and its closed. The real test will be in a few months down the road seeing how it fairs the elements and repeated use. Congrats!!

 

Post a vid of when it changes colors. I wanna see the stainless change it looks so cool. If you already have it installed thats a fail on my part my comp. won't let me watch youtube vid's.

 

It will have to be put inside the cab... It's just a PCB board and relays wrapped in a cheap plastic case...

Also, for you guys that wouldn't like the remotes, it wouldn't be to hard to buy 2 relays and a switch and wire it up manually. Actually I'm planning to take the control box apart and see if I can maybe solder in a separate manual switch to have in addition to the remotes. I'll let you know what I find out...

 

ok. how much wire do they give u? i plan on putting the module on the floor where i put my hellas switch and run the wire through the firewall

 

I don't know exactly, looks like maybe 12' from cutout to control module, and about 5' for the power hookup.

 

ok that should be enough... i hope so... but im gonna get this thing ordered
