Any idea how much capacity these have for balancing? Could you remove your tire weights completely and still be good?
OP
I am not sure. I did remove 3oz on one tire, everything was smooth this morning. I would guess that a completely unbalanced wheel with no weights there might be a slight vibe or shimmy.
I did a little more digging and found that Centramatic advertises "No pre-balancing required."
Has anyone here tried this to verify?
OP
Maybe a little premature but 60s this week and low 70s next weekend

This shot makes me realize how much I need to pull the rear fender liners out on mine.
Lookin’ sharp!

I pulled mine yesterday and wondered why I waited so long...
OP
Look up duster, I have a Smittybilt and I think Bestop makes them also.
OP
@Apparition beat me to it. Duster/Tonneau Cover. Mine is by bestop, as well as the windjammer

Anyone have recommendations for a high temp coalacing filter?
Mine isn't rated high enough

If your air is getting that hot at your filter you need a cooler brotherAnyone have recommendations for a high temp coalacing filter?

I definitely need to rethink some parts. I remember checking it mid season last year with no signs of damage. Surprisingly my leader hose is still intact and that's right off the compressor!If your air is getting that hot at your filter you need a cooler brother
i was generating ridiculous under hood temps. the heat trying to escape the engine bay was literally cooking my passenger side strut........and it's outside the engine bay.
i'm talkin hot, like can't put your hands on it hot.
the temps i was seeing would do something like that. the thin aluminum bowl is an easy heat soak..................this is why i questioned toximus about placing his shock resi's in there.
maybe some insulation around the bowl could keep it from taking some heat.

I'll have to put some thought into it. Good idea though, maybe pull some heat shields from the junkyard? Everything else seems to have held up ok. The filter says it is rated to 175°. For now I kept the coagulated piece out and hope that the blow-by just pools into the housing.
would relocation be easier? if the lines not gettin toasted extend it and get the bowl somewhere cooler?
OP
I like the idea of the filter being closer to the compressor to catch oil immediately. Maybe that isn't necessary? First thought I have is wrapping it in exhaust tape, it has a release valve at the bottom of the housing. Second thought is mounting a heat shield from the inner fender to somehow box-in the filter housing. Third, maybe a coiled copper line.
I have pictures of yours from a while ago. Using a trans cooler if I remember. Which is also a good idea. The leader hoses are ok, the mister is ok--just this internal filter which means the oil is scorching hot. So now my options mentioned above are not the solution...
