3rd rear remote for 2011 LS4041

[jemclimber]

Hello,
I've tried 3 or 4 times to get a price from my local dealer about buying and installing a 3rd rear remote with not much luck in getting a response. Are there any dealers close to western NY that can give me a ballpark price into what this will cost? I typically don't like to pay to have something done I can do myself, but I have lots of irons in the fire right now and want to get one installed.

Keep in mind that with LS, you do not just add a 3rd valve. LS uses a monoblock valve body, so what you are doing is removing the existing 2 valves and purchasing a 3 valve block as well as the associated controls. This is a costly way of doing things, but it is what it is.

Good luck.

How involved is this if I have to do it myself? Do you sell a kit with all the parts for me to do it myself? Cost? I would rather have it done, but like many things I just have to make the time for the project. I am competent mechanically, but time wise and aggravation wise as I age I am accepting sometimes it's more efficient for me to just pay someone.
Also if I have to get a new valve block does it make more sense to get stack-able one in case I want to add more remotes down the road? Is stack-able an option?
Lots of questions.

First off, no I do not have any valve kit to really help you out with what you want to do. Yes any type of valve could be used, but for all the work that would be involved, not really worth it cost or time wise.

The easiest way for you to get more valves would be to put a diverter back there. Relatively easy, just need to design a mount and go from there.

Good luck.

A diverter would be fine. I have top and tilt. What I want it for is snow plow in the winter to angle the blade and my flail has hydraulic offset. Is a diverter something you offer or can point me to where i could find info?
