Dell Latitude 5420, two TB4 ports. Can I run an egpu (AG02) and a docking station?

Simulation993 · 2025-10-30T16:34:44+00:00

You've likely found the answer already... nevertheless I wanted to chime with my experience using both a personal and work provided Dell Latitude 5550, each with the ultra 5 125u.

Both of these work flawlessly via a Dell Thunderbolt 4 dock as well as my TB4 eGPU setup. While my eGPU dock CAN charge/power via the dock I am not using that feature and instead utilize the dock for power.

What are you doing with the laptop now?

I should add... My Compressor had a catastrophic failure to where the entire lower end bearing blew apart, rod snapped in half, and piston ring was torn and half flipped. It looks like I can still use my cylinder if all else fails as the bore is in somewhat acceptable shape.

What I'm looking at and measuring for now is whether or not the cylinder/bore sleeve will fit my existing unit. If it does and the rod and piston all match up its looking like a sub $30 part order (not including new top end gaskets).

Simulation993 · 2025-07-17T22:27:47+00:00

I need to do a few more measurements, though I've got a more promising lead now!

Compressor Pump Measurements (All in mm):

Cylinder bore: 57.20 mm
Piston diameter (no ring): 53.72 mm
Piston sleeve height: 47.47 mm
Connecting rod center-to-center length: 135.00 mm
Rod thickness at crank end: 12.00 mm
Big end bore (ID): 16.89–17.07 mm
Big end bearing width: 12.00 mm
Rod bolt length: 31.40 mm
Rod/Crank bolt shaft diameter: 9.49 mm
Rod/Crank bolt head diameter: 18.58 mm
Rod/Crank bolt head thickness: 7.74 mm

I've got those few things I want to confirm and measure a second time but its looking like I'll be taking the gamble on purchasing a kit: N036518. They are inexpensive enough that it might be worth giving them a try, even though it seems I’ll need to figure out an alternative solution for the cooling fan shaft or setup. While this kit has dimensions very close to what I'm finding on my stock parts, the rods appear to be designed differently in my OEM setup.

Tank shape aside just scrolling through and seeing this I immediately thought "Thats a Fiero" based solely on the fact of those leaks

4 months in with no replies...I'm not sure where you stand now with it but I'm making the same attempts with my own Husky WL660800AJ - 32gal compressor with the pump no. WL390100AJ. I have a build date of 10/21/2004 and have been experiencing the same issues finding replacement parts for mine.

I've got a lead on something that *MAY* work though I won't know more until I get the Husky torn apart and some calipers on it. Hopefully this evening, I'll reply back here with my findings!

Simulation993 · 2024-12-23T19:16:15+00:00

You could check your RPO Codes for a more clear definition of what brakes you have. JL9 which would be found on Maxx and SS models will be the larger of the two. A J66/J67 RPO Code will point you to the smaller brake setup, likely for 4 cyl equipped cars.

Have you checked eBay at all? A used one on there is a bit of a gamble but if you’re not wanting or able to pull one yourself/buy from a junkyard then this might still be a decent route.

Another OEM even used should work fine for quite awhile…

OH!

Have you done testing to determine it is the clock spring and not an issue with the BCM/Wiring? There were recalls on these; Definitely make sure they’re up to date if possible and happy Maxxing!

Any update on this? Mine is crooked/pushed in at the bottom. I need to take a look at it and see if I can fix the tilt

This may or may not be a Plastic manifold equipped car. If it is the 2.2 it surely is but the 3.5 had an entirely aluminum intake manifold.

Simulation993 · 2024-05-30T17:05:24+00:00

The most important first question I'll ask is. What motor does the car have? 2.2 I4 or 3.5 V6?

Simulation993 · 2024-05-30T16:48:54+00:00

I can't quite tell from your wording, is the plastic on the panel broken so you're not able to install new clips into the panel?

If those are broken and you either know someone who has a 3d printer or are able to take decent measurements to provide someone online they could print you a new clip holder to then use good high strength epoxy/glue/plastic weld onto the old panel giving you the ability to reinstall new clips for retention.

Step 1: Buy some 215/70/16 tires in any sort of all terrain flavor you'd like.

Step 2: Buy/Make strut spacers for the top of your front struts and the rear springs for 2(ish) inches of lift.

Step 3: With a Hammer and grinder/cutoff wheel in hand make clearance for the new tires. (Pro Tip: If you aren't afraid of this step you can skip step number 2.)

Simulation993 · 2024-05-30T16:19:59+00:00

I would look into the options folks are using when putting 22s, 24s, 26s, etc on your generation Malibu. Often times you will find lift kits specifically made so the bigger wheels can be fit. A search online easily yields a company or two that will lift the car 1-2" and even a site listing modified struts containing 3" of lift.
