The gas truck teardown begins.
But not everything gets scrapped. I’m salvaging brake lines, the 12V harness, and the heater core spot for a modern PTC heater.
Full episode now on my YouTube.

The motor coupler is finished! Well, you might have assumed this from previous posts. Another Brat Industries product with final assembly by Ted's Automotive. This early version fits a little loose, so kudos to EVSwap for the tip on Loctite 660!

It's been a while so here's an overview of where our FrontiEV build is today. The interior is buttoned up and all wire leads for Arduino control of dash and HVAC are in place. Nothing has changed in the engine bay or bed, but we take a look anyway!

New part has arrived! Here's a quick unboxing of a custom mount for the TRW JER107 electric power steering pump I'll be using. From SendCutSend, it is made from 5052 aluminum with black anodized finish.
I used a this CAD file from GrabCad.

AI graphed some gear ratios for us. FrontiEV has 31inch tires and not expected to ever see 80 mph. These ratios seem readily available. With 200k on the trans, trying to keep RPMs below 7000. Hardbodies have 4.11 and same axle codes!

If Netflix did a documentary on welding in the Phoenix heat… it’d be rated R for “roasting.” 🔥 bahahahahaha

🔥 Pro tip: Hydrate or diedrate.

Cooling system is complete now that I've received elbow reducer segments. The only problem is, there's a big leak in the radiator! So close!
With the charger plugged in, battery is getting a charge and water pump is cycling the water. It's a mess...

I've gotten started on HVAC. The heating element is a preheated from VW Golf. It has three 12v that I will run through relays direct to the original Leaf fuses. I'm going to try and control relays from the Arduino. We'll see!

Already posted a video, but here are still pics from the Leaf shifter mod. Reed switches and magnets are glued in place. They provide momentary contact for D and R for the Resolve-EV controller. The parking button already works for N but check which 2 of 3 wires provide continuity

FrontiEV successfully made it around the block. My camera did not 🤦♂️
✅️ Motor mounts installed
✅️ Engine transmission aligned and tightened
✅️ Resolve-EV controller fully wired
✅️ Battery loaded in bed
The last major step is finishing the coolant system, parts should be here soon.

Finished mockup for motor mounts. Passenger side can actually use stock Frontier mounts (which just sit in place! 🤷♂️). Driver side will have rubber mount with studs. Thanks to @sendcutsend for the tip on PVC sheet for pickup. These are coming your way!
