Somewhat getting my a** kicked trying to get a conversion completed. We have a decent chassis and a fresh 2.7 that has made the rounds from Ollies and Eksten's. Still running a small business and often prioritize kids/grandkids when it comes to free time. It is coming up on two years and currently attempting to work through oil lines, exhaust, do I need an external cooler or not??
All the guys who have done them, would you do it again? |

I would call this a necessary tool for assembling the stainless steel braided hoses used with these conversions. Try without the correct tools and see how far you get. I was unaware this existed until I found the information on the Pegasus website. Patrick made no mention of this Curious what the actual tool looks like & does. I have a set of aluminum AN wrenches but do not recall using any other tools in particular when I did some of the plumbing on mine. |

I will get a pic tomorrow, but the tool is basically a funnel to get the hose into the fitting. It's a tight fit and the small stainless steel wires always get in the way |

It's a tight fit and the small stainless steel wires always get in the way It makes inserting the hose into the fitting so easy, it’s fun. I could give the tool and a piece of ss hose to my wife and she could fit it in a minute. I showed how they work to a long time race car mechanic and he immediately bought a set. The other tool to buy are hose cutting shears. Sure, you can use a cutting wheel but then you have to clean the hose from all the debris. The shears take seconds, then a half minute using the kool tool and your hoses will look perfect. Definitely worth the money. When you get the kool tool, you might think it’s a bit pricey for the money. That is until you try it. Genius idea for a pita process. |
