    Hahaha, I didn't realize how the longer part sounded until you brought it up, and on top of that, there was a lady who answered the phone that I told it to...hilarious Yes, I did mentally calculated that the forward panel needs to move first in order for the splash guard (thank you for the...

    Exactly right! I did say that mine is longer and offered to drive to their place so they can see it and maybe make some like Mogman said, but they said, no need we are already making them, it's on our web site (the short one). BTW Action, you seem very knowledgeable, I am thinking to remove...

    Surprisingly nobody commented about the radiators sizes lol....maybe I can add some useful info for a change :) As it turns out, whoever I read saying that the ECV radiator was long by about 6 inches, they were right, at least when compared with the so called Champion HVB and HVB-TD made for...

    That was very helpful, it looks like that's a standard connector for engine block heaters and many types of harnesses could work. Thank you!

    I just spoke with the actual manufacturer and offered to go by so they can see the actual radiator, they said there is no need, because they already have one, the one they have been selling. I first need to make sure that mine is indeed different, will try to measure it later today.

    Please no worries, I appreciate your input. It turns out their office is about 20 minutes away from mine, I will call them right now. EDIT: Hahaha, the guys I called are close to my office and they are using the ChampionRadiators.com domain, but they are just a reseller, not the...

    So this will fit on my 2009 ECV (it has the extended front and geared fan)? I read somewhere saying that the ECV radiators are six inches longer? If the $255 radiator works for my truck, I will order one today :)

    How about something like this made using the "vacuum brazing" process, (adding magnesium)? https://www.ebay.com/itm/313302113587 Is anyone using something similar?

    I did some more searching and ran into this aluminum one for the H1 for only @285 made by Champion, would this work? https://www.jegs.com/i/Champion-Cooling-Systems/166/CCHVB-TD/10002/-1 It just seems so low?

    Yes, I saw the aluminum ones are about $1,400? But is it that bad that it requires replacement? Thought maybe there is a way to get to the leak from underneath without removing half of the front end lol

    Does anyone know what this 3 pin connector is for, on the driver side of the engine block, above the oil pan rear? Is it a sensor?

    Back to reality, after driving the truck for a few days, there is a new radiator leak. It seems light, in the front corner, passenger side. It didn't leak before, but when taking a closer look, given the way the rust looks, it seems to be a previous issue, which maybe didn't show until the...

    24 bolt wheels with BFG Bajas - Runflat or No Runflat

    What is the manufacture week/ year, it should be on the side of the tire, next to DOT, something like 34/20 (34th week of 2020)?

    I’m considering the unthinkable due to rust…

    I am no specialist, but like Action said, I would try to fix the old one. You have to take it off anyways to install the new one. IMO, for the money, the aftermarket one should have no gaskets showing around the windows to match the hard doors for a clean appearance, it makes it look like a...

    Exactly! And talking about flux capacitors lol, I am still laughing at the picture...here is something more in that direction, but not so esoteric... I didn't spend time on the the details yet, but as a big picture concept, there is at least one other option to increase power without modifying...

    Put a rod through the side of the block at 80 and you will find the oil leak real fast. Been nice knowing you. That's for sure lol
