I used landscape timbers, 55 gallon drums and a Hi-lift jack to remove and store several beds.

I have the oil not going through the radiator. I installed one of the big coolers that Leroy's Diesel sells along with the braided steel lines to connect to the engine. Since the GEP engine has the bigger oil ports on the block. The stock 6.2 hoses/lines wouldn't have worked. Even though I...

Chris, I forgot to reply to your 2 core concern. Sorry. I was leery of that as well. The stock 4 core has about 3/8" surface area front to back per core. Which comes to around 1-1/2" heat exchange surface area per row. Which has to be doubled to account for the top and bottom, but I don't...

Ken, I wrapped the cross over near the radiator hose to protect it and the fuel line. I didn’t think about engine transfer hear. Good idea. Thanks, Tim

Well RED did great at college while he lived in the dorm and only did a few miles each week. This summer though, instead of coming home and working at the airport. He went and found a much better paying office job in College Station. He found it right before the spring semester ended. So, he was...

Yes, that is the one. Sorry I didn’t link that in my post.

Oh, here is the radiator.

1 year later. 15° coolant drop and 30 mph increase. Post 314 has me detailing my first on road coolant heat issues a year ago. Several post since then have dealt with the steps I took to fix it. I wanted to be able to change a single part, observe the difference and finally say. “This is the...

True. MV’s are herd animals after all. Have a safe trip.

Was this directed at me? I am not aware of anything getting delivered to me or that I am sending out anywhere. I also don't know of any members in the big town of Giddings besides myself. If you need any help while in the area, let me know.

No joke on the M416 practice part. By the time you see them in the mirror, you are almost at jack knife stage. As suggested above. Practice and use small movements.

Diesel engines are great constant speed motors. Make them pull a 7,000 pound square barn door up to speed, sit at a light and repeat is not showing their good side. Especially if you are trying to keep up with traffic when pulling away from a light. Your numbers sound pretty right on.

8 years ago I had a M1009 that the idle was just wrong. It started, went down the road great and got really good mpg. But, the idle wasn't "right." I was told here on this website that an IP rebuild was my best solution for now and the future. I spent the time calling all the Stanadyne shops...

Just the head lights? It seems your alternator is working properly so it is probably a light wiring or most likely. A light ground issue. Follow the steps in the -20 troubleshooting guide. Or, skip the step by step to just open the hood, find the ground bolt on the engine side of the valence...

Your truck was mad at you for not driving it. Now it is happy. Or, what he said above.

Yes, 11.00 NDT tires fit really nice inside the M715 fenders. They are the same diameter circle, so they look great. However, if you still have the stock axles. Chances are you will end up breaking a front drive shaft if you give it any power with the steering over to one side. That of...

Well summer is here with a vengeance now. I can finally compare apples to apples on my cooling system. Another recap. Last summer 95° outside temperature I was not able to drive more than 45 mph after the first 10 miles of everything getting up to temperature without hitting 215° or higher...

Don't forget the inflatable decontamination tent he erected in the same back yard too. That was hilarious.

Well, now we know there are at least 3 of us 6.5 nerds in the group. Good information.

Another vote for a new radiator. Your radiator is 30 years old. It might look good in the wide open area below the cap, but it probably has some restrictions in the tubes. Were you in 3rd gear at 32 mph doing the climb? The faster you spin the engine, the faster the fan goes, the more the...
