I was in Franconia, yes. But moved to WDBG and then Triangle. Part of getting married and consolidating, etc. At least she let me keep the HMMWV ;)

As I noted in the Northern VA thread, welcome! If you need a core 6.2L or 3L80 core, I have them in Marshall. Make you a great deal as the garage is very tired of storing them by now. Bulldigger
I'm having too-high readings come and go, getting worse just earlier this week. I think if I really had 120psi the engine would sound a LOT different. I'll check that sending unit myself, and the wires too.

Looks like you're on the right track for getting it sorted out. If you decide to replace the radiator, Champion makes a nice aluminum radiator that fits the TD rig. There are some threads here on the site about it.

An OM606 might fit, with enough jamming and adapters, but it might be a very slow ride.

Thanks,
