2003 DODGE RAM 2500
SVO CONVERSION with ROVER HYBRIDS SYSTEM
|
2003 Dodge Laramie
42 gallon tank custom built to
customer's specified dimensions. . All
the tank connections are on the
passenger side. Filler is on the drivers
side.
Here's a view of the tank connections.
Hot Fox heat exchanger and Isspro
sending unit.
In the passenger side wheel well the
SVO dedicated F.A.S.S. fuel processor
is mounted.
The HIHOH is bundled together and
routed along the frame rail. It gets
close to the transfercase but still has
clearance to prevent contact.
Another view, showing that there is no
contact.
Veiw standing at the front of the truck.
The clearance for the FHE is real tight
If the truck was equipt with hood
insulation it would rub on the fittings.
New versions of the Dodge kit move
the FHE to a different location.
Red check valve is for the SVO side of
the system along with the Y block for a
smooth transition of the two fuel
supply lines.
A second check valve is used on the
diesel supply line.
3-port valve that controls the return
fuel is mounted to the frame below the
steering column.
A view from the top. Hard to see but
here is the connection of the SVO HIH
to the 3 port valve.
The relays for the fuel pumps.
Here we move into the interior of the
truck. The system is controlled by a
single switch. There are 3 L.E.D. lights
indicating system status.
Switch is in the diesel position
Switch is in the SVO position. This is
my favorite part of this conversion.
You can't buy aux. switches that fit the
factory holes. The switch and L.E.D.
bezel is custom made for this
installation.
Another view in the diesel position.
This attention to detail is what sets
Rover Hybrids above the rest. Bottom
L.E.D. is for SVO.
Here is the system being switched
back to diesel from SVO. The middle
L.E.D. is a flashing red L.E.D. to
indicate the purge cycle. Picture
doesn't really show the light very well.
The truck is finished and ready to go
back to it's owner.
Once in the engine compartment the
HIH connection can be seen before the
entrance into the Hot Plate FHE.
Here is where the coolant is T'd into
the heater loop. A temp sensor is
mounted in the T to assure the fuel is
HOT BEFORE switch over.
Another view of the coolant T's.
