Important Information

The information in this manual is intended for certified VMAC

installers who have been trained in installation procedures and for

people with mechanical trade certification who have the tools and

equipment to properly and safely perform the installation. Do not

attempt this installation if you do not have the appropriate

mechanical training, knowledge and experience.

Follow all safety precautions for underhood mechanical work. Any

grinding, bending or restructuring operations for correct fit in modified

vehicles must follow standard shop practices.

These instructions are a general guide for installing this system on

standard production trucks and do not contain information for

installation on non-standard trucks. This system may not fit special

order models or those which have had other changes without

additional modifications. If you have difficulty with the installation,

contact VMAC.

The VMAC warranty form must be completed and mailed or faxed to

VMAC at the time of installation for any subsequent warranty claim to

be considered valid.

To order parts, contact your VMAC dealer. Your dealer will ask for

the VMAC serial number, part number, description and quantity. To

locate your nearest dealer, call 1-800-738-8622.

General Information

Before You Start

Read this manual before attempting installation so that you can

familiarize yourself with the components and how they fit on the

vehicle. Identify variations for different model years and different

situations that are listed in the manual. Open the package, unpack

the components and identify them.

All fasteners must be torqued to specifications. Use manufacturers

torque values for OEM fasteners. Apply Loctite 242 or equivalent on

all engine-mounted fasteners. Torque values are with Loctite applied

unless otherwise specified.

Hose Coding

Different frame designations will affect the tank mounting position. If

you have to move the tank, the lines may be too short. Measure the

hose shortfall and order a Hose Extender Kit. The following table

shows the color code used by VMAC to identify hose diameters.

Part 1: Preparing for Installation

1.1 Preparing for Installation

Preparation for installation is very important. Missing an item can

cause problems in the installation or even damage to components.

Check off each item as it is completed so that you do not miss any

preparation steps.

□Disconnect the battery.

□Drain the coolant.

□Remove the air box, the air cleaner and the trunking.

□Remove the 1 inch coolant expansion-fill bottle to engine hose,

disconnect the 5/16 inch hose from the radiator and remove the

expansion-fill bottle.

□Remove the upper radiator hose.

□Disconnect the lower radiator hose from the radiator.

□Remove the fan and the fan shroud together.

□Remove the OEM ground connector attached to one of the

studs, then remove and discard the three OEM M10 bolts with

the M8 studded ends from the driver’s side of the cylinder head.

□Remove the air cleaner support bracket attached to the driver

side of the engine. Discard the bracket but keep the nut.

□Remove the radiator hold-down brackets, raise the radiator just

enough to clear the locating pins and move it sideways so that it

sits above the mount bracket (optional).

□Remove the rubber protective flaps attached to the cross-

member under the radiator.

□Protect the inside surface of the radiator with a piece of

cardboard.

□Unplug the cam position sensor connector on the front of the

driver’s side cylinder head, disconnect the harness from the

hold-downs and move it on top of the valve cover. The cam

sensor wire harness must be adjusted to prevent the harness

from hitting the belt. Open the protective loom at the connector

and pull out an additional 4 inches of wire from the main loom.

Do not damage the foil covering. Cover it with a piece of loom

and tape the junction securely.

□Reposition the group of brake lines from in front of the master

cylinder to behind the sensor on the bottom of the master

cylinder by carefully bending them out of the way. Move the

rubber vibration isolator as required so the lines do not touch.

□Clean the front of the engine on the driver’s side.

□Clean the center of the OEM crank pulley.

Part 2: Installing the Tank and

Hoses

2.1 Installing the Tank and Mount Brackets

The tank (Figure 2.1) will mount to the passenger side frame rail

behind the front cab mount. The recommended location is about 1

inch back from the end of the cab floor stiffener, a rib with an

attached ground wire.

1/4” and 3/16” tubes

3/4” hose fitting

1/2” hose fitting

C-clamp

Tank strap mount

Upper frame clip

Tank strap cable

Lower frame clip

Spacer

Oil filter

5/16” nuts and

washer

Figure 2.1

□Place the tank on a work bench with the front (oil filter end) of the

tank to your left and remove the oil filter.

□Remove the two 1/4 inch clamp bolts from the C-clamps. Expand

the clamps slightly and slide them over the front of the tank.

Fax: 1-250-740-3201

□Position the front clamp approximately 11 inches from the filter

end of the tank and the rear clamp approximately 12 inches from

the front clamp.

□Place the two L-shaped tank strap mounts under the C-clamps

with the right-angle ends facing you and hanging over the edge

of the work bench. Apply Loctite and thread 5/16 x 1/2 inch bolts

with flat washers into the bottom hole on each bracket, but do

not tighten.

□Install the 1/4 inch clamp bolts into the C-clamps so that the

heads of the bolts face toward you and install the nuts but do not

tighten. Rotate the tank so that the directional arrow on the end

of the tank is parallel to the work bench and faces toward you.

□Apply Loctite and insert 5/16 x 1/2 inch bolts through the C-

clamp and thread them into the mount brackets, but do not

tighten.

□Install a suitable 3/4 inch fitting (not supplied) in the back of the

tank.

□Check tank alignment then tighten the C-clamp bolts and the

mounting bolts.

□Insert the cable straps through the tube of the upper frame clips.

□Fit the cables onto the tank strap mounts behind the steel lines,

with the cables in the grooves of the mounts and the clips above

the right-angle end of the tank strap (Figure 2.1).

□Support the tank and L-bracket assembly in place on the outside

of the frame between the cab mounts, with the short part of the

L-bracket over the top of the frame.

3/16” tube

1/4” tube

Figure 2.2

□Pass the upper frame clip between the frame rail and the body

and clip it onto the top of the frame. Insert the threaded end of

each cable strap through the tubes on the lower frame locating

U-clips. Install the spacers (if necessary for narrow frames) and

nuts and tighten just enough to hold the tank in position.

□Position the tank between the two cab mounts to provide

clearance for installing the lines and filter. Make sure that the

tank mounting system does not interfere with any transmission

components.

□When the tank is correctly positioned, tighten the securing cable

retaining nuts until the cables pull tight and snug around the

frame. Do not over-tighten.

□Install a second 5/16 inch nut and tighten it securely against the

first to act as a locknut.
