Title: dual tank selector valve
Post by: jhook on February 13, 2014, 02:28:57 am

does anyone know if they made a shield or cover for the dual tank selector valve? I have looked at several trucks in the wrecking yards and yet to see one.

as far as i know, no and no aftermarket item. could you get another and move it to a less open place?

The TBI trucks had selector valve shields from the factory.  Not definite whether all motorized valves had them.

Is yours in the factory spot? I know where mine is, it would be an odd set of circumstances for it to get whacked.

I have one on my truck.  nothing major, its just some thick gage sheet metal held on by 2 bolts.  I'll see if I can dig up a picture.
