That's a really good idea, thanks for the hint. Did your EGT probe come with a tap? Or are they 1/8"NPT? Just trying to get prepared. What gauge did you go with too? Still shopping around for that and the probe...

Just got the block heater in a few days ago, (super easy, it was cake), but now have to do a fill-and-flush with distilled water. Then... going to research more on the best fluid to use as a final-refill, as it is "clear as mud" so to speak on what setup is ideal. Probably going the route of "1...

Question about this, I know I'm bumping an old-thread. How does this work if your engine has a turbo? How do you stop the metal shavings from the drilling and tapping from going down and into the turbo?

Do you have the turbo'd or non-turbo engine? (A2 Truck or A0/A1 Truck)? Following because my Tach isn't working as well.

*cue sad violin music*

This might seem like a dumb question, but, how do you have a coolant filter? Maybe I'm missing something in the engine bay lol.

Definitely don't want to be doing any engine work because I messed up the coolant flush lol, no barn/pole-shed to work under lol. I never ever heard of the yellow/orange fluid before... definitely a newb to diesel engines that's for sure. Is that what you're running now? The green with SCA's...

- Is this the better option of the two? Organic-Acid over Conventional? I'm not sure what the standard would be. - How regular are we talking? Annually or does it go per mileage / engine-hours? - Do the ELC fluids already have the SCA's in them? I'm not sure about all this so am just...

Excellent, ty so much. Did you run the engine when you filled it up with hose-water / dish-soap to get everything churned up? Or did you just do a fill-and-drain until it came out clean?

Is the Green Low-Silicate Coolant already deluded? Or does it come in a concentrate and then you have to do the calculation per water ratio? I'm used to only adding Prestone 50/50 to all my vehicles for initial fill-up and top-off lol.

This is amazing and I'm certain this will bail out someone in the future who is nervous about doing this kind of work, A+ job Sir! Also to note, Amazon has some good 600 ft/lb torque wrenches for around $120, I picked one up to do the wheel lugs and I'm sure I'll be using it somewhere down the...

Dang I wish I was closer to you I would 100% give you a hand wrenching on it, that's the best way to learn lol. Good luck Sir

When able can you post more pics of the repair? I would love to see more removal/install pics 🙏

How did you do a manual setup for the CTIS? Do you just let it air up to Highway and then unplug the controller? I thought unplugging the controller lets all the release valves open? :unsure: Help a newb understand please lol.

To note on the switch order, I actually took off and painted the battery switch BRIGHT ASS RED as a visual reminder to not kill the engine with that switch first lol. Edit: I was actually going to do a "glow in the dark" green fluorescent to distinguish between the ignition and battery switch...

Hello and Good Day Gents, Just to preface this, I am in the TM (9-2320-272-24-1 section 3-150 “Coolant System Maintenance” so I have the Technical portion of the process in-hand. However, I have a few questions regarding the coolant system and am requesting some advice / wisdom from those who...

So driver side is for all air and aux items (like wipers / CTIS / etc.) and passenger side is just dedicated to brakes? Does that include the parking brake on the passenger side?

A newb question incoming, where do you hook up the truck to for pressurization? Is it the front passenger glad-hand connection?

Yeah it is quite a pickle to be in, also I realized if I change tire sizes now that would be 7 tires needed bc of the spare too lol, so I’m ok with the two fronts being a different brand for now if possible. I sent a message to Eastern Surplus yesterday they are actually only 40 minutes from my...
