Glad to heard I wasn’t the only one.
Which hose are we referencing to be sure i swap it out? Are we talking about the hose that was depicted in my photo? I have replaced all the other hoses with silicone but still have this stock hose attached to the top of the turbo. Suitable replacement options? Cheers guys

The black hose with the yellow stripe leading from the compressor housing to the boost actuator can.
You can replace it with standard rubber vacuum hose with the same ID. Don't use otiker clamps like they did, small worm or a fuel injection clamp or just a zip tie on both sides works fine

My truck has been drawing air through the seatbox, tunnel, and floorboards ever since the rebuild. The trans tunnel adapter that we made to convert the LT77 seatbox into a R380 seatbox was more of a quick-fix thing to get the truck back on the road than it was a solution. Nothing quite lined up and the air leaks made the cab hot in the summer and frigid in the winter.
I bought a proper adapter plate from RN and painted it up with my new matched color rattlecans and riveted it in place. I re-sealed all of the seatbox cubby lids and floorboards where they meat the trans tunnel. I bought a new trans tunnel (my old one was a take-off and broken) and moved the foam insulation over to the new tunnel and mounted it up.
Next, I installed some Dynamat XXXTreme insulation and finally, a new set of black Exmoor insulated floor mats and seat/tunnel covers. You'll notice that I'm still running the MoD green matting around the fuse panel. To change that would require me dismantling that panel and there's no way I'll open that Pandora's box again now that my electricals are solid.
I'm really happy with how everything came out. Truck is much less drafty and cabin noise is significantly reduced in the mid- and high-frequencies.

Yep that’s the one. I was going up the Pequops in NV on I80 on the way to SLC when my flew off. That was a bummer. Quick fix but a pain On the pass. You’ll be good now!
Installed a ARB compressor under the passenger seat today.

I cant stand that style steering damper adapter, I hate the way they rotate(have seen it too many times). RTE makes a nicer one that rarely has issues
I totally agree. I'll have to post pics of what came off the truck. From the factory, the damper mount is on that tie rod end, negating the need for that damper mount. It isn't fully threaded, so it wouldn't work with the drag link. I think I might grind it down a little bit to make it thread on fully.
Today i decided to tackle minor corrosion in the middle row. the SD cage on a NAS is a tight fit. I have some corrosion on the feet and thankfully floors ok. This led to unhooking cage and laying down in the cabin as all my seats, tunnel etc are out. Grinding down the corrosion and will treat and paint in situ. Rear floors are now out. Ripped out all the factory carpet. Now I'm looking at the saggy headliner. shit it came out too. This led to deleting all the wiring prior owner placed for rack lights. Back to factory original and taped back up to roof. Dropped off the basket, ladder for powder coat and getting front floors media blasted to bare metal so i can respray. The headliner for 110 and 90 going to upholster tomorrow and thankfully already have all the factory material from prior group buy. Tomorrow working on painting footwells on bulkhead, sills and touch up on box in preparation to going back together. This really is ship fitters syndrome! Ha

After 3 months of waiting, I pulled him off the truck today.
I’ll get a thread started for Drago over the weekend.
A couple of quick details, Drago is a 1991 200tdi with exactly 60,000 miles on the clock. He lived a good life on the southern coast of Spain before making his move to the PNW. Excited to get into my build this weekend!

I installed a CKMTA12 there as well. I was able to find some Nice little bulkhead fittings that were also a 90 to exit the box for the lockers. I have a bundle of them if anyone needs a couple PM me.
Can you post a pic of what you're talking about? Are these for the small air lines that go to the locker?
