@@leonardomatamoros8584 Glad it helped!

Thanks! I hope the information is useful to you.

@@alaskabearhawk Yes...thank's

Thanks Alex!

Hey Steve...glad to hear the video was of help to you. That's why I took the time to make it! But the big thanks goes to Rob Taylor and his willingness to share his work with other builders.

Hi Steve...I passed this onto Rob Taylor and he will get some numbers for you when he gets his BH back on floats for the summer.

Hey Steve...thanks for watching! The lifting eyes Rob used are posted in the Bearhawk forum. Look at the third post down and you will see some pictures of Rob's installation. He made a set of attach points for the front spar and one set for the rear spar. Come to find out the rear attach points were unnecessary, so he only has the front ones installed now. bearhawkforums.com/forum/bearhawk-patrol-plans-build/9626-lifting-rings

Thanks for the kind words! I really like the setup and I use it pretty often. The suggestions you have a good ones, but it depends on your application. Personally, when I'm just teasing a curve into shape it's nice to have some feedback from my foot in relation to how much the metal is moving. Also, being able to move the part I'm shaping in and out a bit as I'm operating the shrinker/stretcher is a plus. If I was making the same parts for hours at a time the automation would be great for repeatability. As a hobby guy just doing one-off parts, I'm happy with it the way it is.

Hi! Not sure which thing you are referring to. Are you talking about the bolts that hold the sensor heat shield in place?

Thanks for the corroboration on the chairs design. I really wished that it would be a solution to having a creeper that helps a person work on things, with poor clearance, in relative comfort. I really wanted it to be it! Sadly, it’s not.

@@alaskabearhawk After installing the lift and testing without vehicle yet the clearances, seems I will only have less than 3 feet under the vehicle to work on, it is a mini van Chrysler Town and Country, it is high and wide around 6 feet tall from ground up, minus ground clearance of 5.7" that is still 5.5 feet on a ceiling clearance of 8.7! very tight to work under it and the ergo chair even at its first position may no be ideal; I will only know for sure once the van is on the lift, to have spent $433.00 on it for it not to fit it is a travesty, and forget about returning to bend pack; I just started a fight with them for a refund of a 6 ft hose I am not using; they charged me 174.00 for it, sent a used hose with thread sealant traces on the threads and want to charge me 20% restocking fee plus shipping back so only returning $128.00 out of what I paid, these folks think they can rob me blind like that they got another thing coming with me because I will sue the hell out of them for 50 bucks if I have to, especially after paying for all their overpriced items even with discounts!! I already placed a complaint with the BBB and in my video reviews of the lift I will make sure to warn others of doing business with them at those high prices; I cant imagine if something in the lift breaks; the prices they charge are just criminal.

Thanks, but it’s not just Alaskans. There are people all over the world who demonstrate creativity and resourcefulness daily! Having said that, there are quite a few in Alaska. ;)

You're welcome. I hope it was useful for you!

Thanks for the tip! I hope I never have to do it again, but who knows?

Thanks! It's been a slow process, but I should be flying this spring. I have a kitlog you can look up. I haven't updated in a few months, but it will give you an idea how far along the project is. Good luck on yours! www.mykitlog.com/yeeeha

@@alaskabearhawk Excellent, I'll go check it out. You are going to be having a ball this spring.

Thanks! Hope it was of help to you.

Thanks Adam! I appreciate the feedback and hope you get a chance to build one.

Good job…and congratulations! I’m glad it was of help to you.

750$ on its site 😵‍💫

Hey Dylan…just reading your post I think you meant the bad sensor had a heat shield and the NEW sensor did not. You are correct. If I remember correctly I did remove the heat shielding from the bad sensor and put it on the new sensor. It isn’t the easiest to get off as the foil has a sticky strip where it overlaps and was a bit of a booger to remove without tearing it.

Thank you!! Any chance you have been able to determine the post SCR Cummins part number?

A quick interwebs seach brought up these. You should verify the fitment for your application and this company has cross-reference numbers: dalessuperstore.com/i-23921639-new-13-18-6-7-cummins-nox-inlet-sensor-68210084aa-4326873-2872948-5295473-2013-2018-6-7-cumminsepa10.html And here is an Amazon link: www.amazon.com/Nitrogen-Cummins-5295473-4326873-A0415S170/dp/B07WJXVBQ7 @@dylangrant880

Thank you. That sensor is in a horrible location and choice words were said but I finally got it out. I did notice you listed a different sensor in the title of the video than the screenshot of the back of the sensor. It should be 4326873 (4326872 is too short) my 2014 ended up having 2872948 For others that try this, a couple things that worked well for me was the yellow locking tab loosens up well from the bottom where there is a small opening to insert a screwdriver and if someone lays under the vehicle, there is line of sight to the far bottom bolt and having someone be your eyes from that location was helpful Also Truck to Trailer has been great to work with - thanks for the recommendation.

That’s a great point that often gets overlooked. Time is money and time bandits like vehicle repair jobs do matter. As far as parts origin fraud goes, I don’t believe it’s concern in this instance.

That is a great observation! The answer is yes, I do. I found this Miller auto-darkening weld-mask and it works great. They are very compact and allow for welding in tight places. The only downside (if there is one) is I need to wear cheaters and I can’t wear the goggles over glasses. Fortunately Miller thought of that and include a frame for magnifying lenses. I had to take the frame to a local eyeglass store and had them make magnifying lenses and install them in the frame. It was easy to do, just an added cost. Thanks for the question! www.millerwelds.com/safety/weld-mask/weld-mask-m30023

@@FMunixxx It is, and the clarity is better than my helmet.

Can you be a bit more specific? What do you consider "normal weight" for people? And what quantity for "extra gallons"?

That's a good suggestion. Lets explore a bit. Like I explained in the video the original idea came from a farmer that made a very simple and small slip roll using what he had around the farm. The guy I made it for wanted it simple, low cost and showed me the farmer's video as an idea. If it were me I would have done bronze bushings, etc, etc. Regardless of me being skeptical the roll worked surprisingly well for the application it was built for. Making an effective teflon bushing would be a challenge too. The fence ends have play, but not much. To make a bushing for the curcumference of the tube it would be very thin. To solve that issue, you would have to turn the ends of the tubes down or enlarge the openings so the bushing could be made thicker. Cause and effect...small changes make exponentially more work. This certainly isn't a tool for daily production work, but for occasional use for thin sheetmetal it works great. No one was more surprised than me!

Interesting idea, but I don’t have any background music on this video…at least it wasn’t intentional. I’ve had it in other videos with music playing in the background on my shop stereo and they just blocked the whole thing. Crazy stuff…just one more thing to deal with!

Thanks Rick for the kind words! I use my stand quite a bit and I'm glad to have the opportunity to share ideas with others.

You are welcome...and good luck! I hope it works out for you. Mine hasn't thrown a code since I replaced the sensor.

Yep!

Good point and I did think about it…a lot. We plan on traveling, towing a camp trailer through Canada and around the lower 48 states. I’m not at all familiar with what is and what isn’t allowed as far as tampering with vehicle emissions controls. I’d hate to be stuck somewhere because no one can/will work on the vehicle if I needed it. In today’s world I wouldn’t be surprised if I would be slapped with a “green new deal violation” fine in addition to whatever repairs are needed. Good that you have a 2012. When I bought this truck I had no idea what issues there are for diesels post 2012. If there is any good news in all this is the truck runs great, pulls like a beast and has a great ride.

I'm glad the video was helpful to you. Bummer about the tabs! I hope that you were able to find a fix for reattaching the cover.

That's awesome Tom! I'm glad it helped you out...and I hope your auction find is up and running like new in no time.

That’s a good question. I thought about moving it too, but with no real plan in mind. I decided not to for a couple of reasons. First, how many times will I be replacing the sensor? Maybe twice, maybe never, so I didn’t bother. Second, would where I would mount it be enough protection from vibration and potential mechanical damage? I don’t know, so I just let it be. Since you thought of a pigtail extension you may be much more clever than me, so if you have a good plan go for it!

Thanks for the look! Hopefully it will be of use for you.

You are very welcome. I’m glad it was useful for you and your build!

Thanks for the compliment! I'll make sure to pass it on to Dan.

Thanks! Hope someone finds it useful for them.

Thanks. Farmer Tim in Ireland {I said New Zealand in the video, but I found out he's from Ireland} certainly gets the credit for the idea, I just made it suit my needs.

Thanks...

Great job James...and thanks for the tips! It's paying it forward for the next guy. Good idea about the socket. I had no idea there was one available, but not surprising. There seems to be a special tool for everything. :D
