I posted here in this thread at one point. I had alot of blowby, and ended up replacing my motor. After extensive troubleshooting, my blowby was discovered to actually be mostly of coolant. I pressure checked everything, and no coolant was making its way into any combustion chamber, so with...

How much was it. I paid over $100 for mine from Australia

Ahhh. Yes. I didn't even think about using that, and I have a box of them sitting here. Those are long enough to do what we need, they are 3 inches long or so? Cool.

By thimble, do you mean coupling nut?

Gimp, I had a bald 14.5R on an a3 wheel crashing around in the bed, that I finally tried to put in the spare tire area. I am experiencing the same thing, where the tire hits the frame before the wheel hits the carrier. The long studs and spacer seems to be the easiest solution. So the...

Cool thanks

If available, can you provide the p/n of the replacement core that the shop ends up using?

I have the 400w katz. It fits with no issues. It has been 0 here for several weeks now. If I plug in for 4 hours prior, it starts normally. 2 hours preheat, it coughs and sputters but still lights off.

Unless you are prepared for a situation like this, I would steer clear of OD iron entirely. I had a similar experience as TsGtB. When I was first looking for a truck, I always wondered why so many people were trying to sell them after only owning them for a year or so. Why would you buy a...

I am going to take the advice given, and change the front shocks to begin with. I'll start with the easy stuff 1st.

Great, thanks. Post up when you get around to it, as it will probably be before I get to address it myself.

I would have thought it would have needed to be a dual shock approach on both sides like what cranetruck posted further up. No?

I don't think there is much of a solution here, but wanted to discuss. I drove my truck several hundred miles a couple weeks ago. At one point of the trip, the road was a concrete highway, with a lot of repair work that ran perpendicular to the travel lanes. Sort of like expansion joint...

So far, no luck finding a civi replacement. Non on that list are a direct drop in. I found a link from osh kosh that sells them at too much money. Here is the link; http://www.oshkoshequipment.com/products/detail/81/1508/Heater%2DCore%2DKit I need what is pictured below;

I have a good C turbo take off sitting in a box. I bought it thinking that I was going to install it, but the truck makes so much noise as is, I second guess putting it on. And I do have a muffler installed. Why inflict more torture when long trips wear on you enough with the existing noise...

I am fairly sure it is a bad core. I flushed it along with the coolant system prior to this failure. A lot of rust came out of it. The flush probably opened up a pin hole.

Did you get the truck from kublos, or from another owner down the line?

I havent looked to see the failure mode just yet. It was putting steam into the cab on my return trip and dumping coolant into the engine bay, so I just turned the valves to isolate it off.

Post some pictures of the truck lets see what ya got.

Unless I can find a new replacement, I may take you up on that. Thanks.
