P1000m5 Traveller II

[PioneerPete]

After today's riding with @Delton, we could tell a significant different in heat on the plastic shield between the seat bottom and seat back. Mine was barely warm and his was too hot to hold your hand on it. His daughter was complaining like my boy used to do. Now I've got the additional heat shield from Bayouownbeer installed this evening and I will try it out on the next ride.

Joey I did the insulation under the plastic piece a while back and it helped some... I did the insulation over the opening under the seat cushion this past weekend and it was the icing on the cake. made it quieter and significantly cooler in the cab. wish I hadn't waited so long, but all good now.

I love mine! Especially when you splash through water and heat comes up from the motor. The heat doesn't come up like it used to

Ive just got the sticky insulation over the opening and a layer under the seat. It made a huge difference but like Joey said, the middle seat was unbearable. I didn't realize it got so hot til my daughter complained about it. I ordered Bayou's heat shield today. Plus I'm gonna put the sticky stuff on all the plastic trim like Joey did. And still considering putting header wrap on all the exhaust parts I can reach.

eBay, search for "vent bellow"

What size barb does the 1000 have?

1/8 for the diffs I believe and 1/4 for the subtrans.

Well crap! I just took a ride today up to the in laws house. It was 100°F and I rode 60mph or faster for a few miles. When I returned, I smelled gear oil. I saw that the rear diff pinion seal had leaked oil. I think the seal is ok but I'm throwing all bellows in the trash. They have worked perfect for 700+ miles but 95° and higher must be their limit.

Here is the picture of the oil that has been slinging onto the skid plate under the rear diff

Well I got about 3 and never put them on. Guess I'll just extend hose if ever I do anything

 

[taylorman]

Why use bellows instead of just extending the hoses higher?

The bellows are a completely sealed system and much easier to just pop one on versus running the tubing.

Dude I just posted about this. I have the high lifter snorkel kit with the bellows an that same thing happend to mine few weeks ago. Called high lifter an they sent out a recall on the kits. An sending out new hose to fix the problem. But my seal was junk. An high lifter is saying there gunna do right by me.

Mine only made it 1 week lol

Wow, guess im lucky I made it 700 miles. I typically ride slow and in water so I'm sure that helped.

This is what my three looked like. The rear diff was expanded the most. I've replaced them now with hose.

While extending the hoses, I also changed the rear gear oil. One interesting thing is that after changing gear oil, I noticed the rear differential made less noise. I use the exact same gear oil. I thought this was kind of funny because some people say that when they change to a synthetic oil, they noticed less gear noise. Maybe my gear oil had gotten too hot and broke down to where it was too thin and I was hearing increased noise levels. I'm not sure what to think about this now but it was a lot quieter. Maybe the rear differential get so hot that it will require the use of synthetic. I just use a conventional gear oil because I tend to change it quite often whether it be getting water in it or like this, week getting a leak. If I noticed the noise starting to slowly come back, I may have to use one of those $20 bottles of oil. Come to think of it, my differential has been pretty quiet until this summer.

Another cool thing I did was put a small engine fuel filters on the end of the hoses.

I swear to you I noticed a difference both times I tried it Joey. My wife actually said "it sounds happier now" this weekend and she didn't even know I had done it

I'm not doubting that people notice it now. I just think it's funny that I noticed a difference swapping to fresh oil of the exact same kind. If I had put in a synthetic oil this time, I would be saying the same thing that other people are. That synthetic oil's make the differential quieter. I had also previously said that there was a noise reduction when I used lucas oil additive. The funny thing is, I had some gear oil pre-mixed with a bottle of Lucas additive that was left over from the first time. I had enough of that leftover to fill my differential again this time.

Now I've got to determine if my differential returned to being noisy because of the cheap oil that I use had broken down.

Lucas 75/140 for sure did the trick. What I found it weird though that a simple oil change will quiet it down a bit. I still get Leary to suggest that.

I have been shopping around for vent hose (line/tubing). I see that there are different sizes whether it's the diffs or fuel breather or sub-trans. Can I ask what you have used? The only thing I seem to come up with is the clear poly stuff which I expect will work but it's not in the same class as the rubber stuff. On another note, I was having trouble finding a reducing barb connector until I saw the kit you got from Orielly's. I stopped in and sure enough right in front of my eyes...Thanks.

I took a similar sized barb to O'rielly auto and asked for the tubing.

Glad you found the box of barbs, those are handy.

Let me know if I can help
