dual tank selector valve
« 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.

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.
