With the holidays fast approaching, I was curious to know some gifts you've given to your co-pilots (i.e. navigators, passengers-in-chief [significant others?]) that they use/wear while wheeling with you... whether it be something that makes life easier on the trail or just brings a smile to...

Thanks everyone! Just got the old ax-15 out and gathering parts to go back together. Thought I had everything, but my flexplate is from a post-renix donor, so I've gotta find one of those before I can get to the install :brickwall

Good idea with the temp sender bung. I'll hafta add that to our parts list. Any recommendations? Favorite stuff to flush with? For retaining streetability, you would want to have a TCM that matches the tranny... whether it's a stand-alone unit or integrated into the PCM (depends on year). It's...

The heat sink style would be good if it were to constantly have wind moving over it, but I won't, so I'll need to be able to create my own wind (i.e., with a fan/radiator-style cooler combo). I've actually got that writeup saved to my phone with screenshots, lol. Got bored one night at work and...

Thanks! This won't see much road time and a lot of low-speed trail crawls, rocks and hill climbs, so I know keeping heat down will be an issue. I'm debating on adding a temp gauge, stand-alone cooler (location pending) and probably its own fan, wired to either a temp switch or a manual one that...

Getting ready to swap in a used AW4 for my AX-15 this weekend. While I've got it sitting on the ground (or engine stand?) and in the wide open, I'm probably going to install a Transgo shift kit and give it as thorough of an inspection as I can while the pan is off. I'm sure I need to check the...

Got one of the seats in, so figured I oughta report my findings... The back of the seat it at about 75° and the bottom is at about 25°. That means the seat has a built-in "spine-to-leg" angle of 100°. My ergonomics research for a good, long-term angle for comfort and pain prevention gave me...

Totally agree with ^this^... Without getting into weaving, etc. But that's a convo for a different thread. :cool: I respectfully disagree that amperage is determined by wire speed, but I agree that penetration can be affected by it. There is absolutely and undoubtedly an automatic adjustment...

I shall... And thanks again for everything you do for us Renix folk, lol ;-) Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

The machine's voltage ("power") setting determines how much voltage is going through the weld puddle, regardless of wire size or feed speed. The machine has internal regulators (rheostats?) that control amperage to provide the voltage demanded by the power control knob. For example: If your...

I've had issues with new IAC's myself... darn things can be a headache. Not making any guarantees, but I've seen them stick on startup, which explains why it'll start with throttle, then they'll pick back up after the engine is running. Replacing it has fixed that particular issue for me in the...

Honestly, yes, but not for a while, and not before commenting. Apologies if some of my info is inaccurate. I was just speaking from things I've experienced in the past. I have used some of your info in the past and found it to be very helpful (thanks, btw)! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Yes, it's a '90. Good to know about the voltage. I suppose the teeth are close enough and cranking speed is high enough to create a pretty steady AC reading.

Maybe try checking for CPS signal voltage with an analog meter? I've heard the digital ones can have a tough time understanding the waves of current that these types of sensors produce. Also, might check your IAC. No start, then starting with open throttle is a tell tale for that, from what...
