Crickets for a reason. Have not done mine yet. The dry run does not require them. More important things were done like: All silicone hoses replaced Radiator flushed Thermostat replaced ALL fluids in engine, trans, diffs with synthetic Driveshafts balanced U Joints replaced AC installed All...

DiverDarrell was his screen name on here.

There was a discussion of starting a fire under the truck a while back : )

I was watching a 4x4 program where they were using a special u joint with twin u joints in the same unit to overcome angulation.

I would say that keeping the grease zerks always greased would likely reduced the wear on the yolks and other parts. I would use synthetic since they tend to be more tacky and are not as likely to get rinsed out.

Everyone was a Newbie themselves once. No one is pre-programmed at the factory. It is a honor to teach. Contrasting opinions are ok if done respectfully.

Silicone blades are not cheap, but well worth it in the long run.

I have not seen the rock hard plastic issue with any of my vehicles. I have however seen the Southern sun destroy rubber blades though. This is why I went to silicone blades. They will outlast rubber ones 10 to 1.

How much does the Core 10 box weigh?

Highly recommend silicone blades and Rain-X when you redo it.

Nice bug out build!

Congrats! Do a video showing acceleration and top speed if you can.

everything is caged, yes.

My "oil pan Snuggie" keeps it nice and warm lol Order now and get "dipstick Snuggie" ! Let me check with the manufacture. See what they have to say.

Well, technically the heat gets transmitted all throughout the "entire engine" per HotStart.

The radiant heat loss is improved by the foil of sound deadening at the top of the engine bay.

I have a preference for a freeze plug heater since the oil is at temp and flows better on start.

Hey, now there's a thought!

I have the block heater that you are talking about. I ended up scrapping that idea because as mentioned, the 3116 does not lend itself well to it. Just use a freeze plug heater. Easy. 5 minutes if no coolant in engine.

So you are saying that even if the diaphragm is replaced it will still leak??
