If you pull a pump out…replace it, there is nothing gain by reinstalling an old injection pump, working or not, Murphy lives in all trucks, the seals you can’t get to like the front shaft seal also fail and will leak from the weep hole, the advance plunger is easy but the plungers rust.
Drain the hubs and verify, it’s not uncommon to have trans fluid in the vent lines, it’s a known issue dues to venting of the Tcase and driving at hwy speeds.

In conclusion: Taking coolant out at the back of the heads reduces the amount of
coolant flowing forward and through the heads - plain and simple. That cannot be
argued. The cylinder heads generate most of the heat in a running engine, and the
cooling system has to move enough coolant...
no sir…the mfg is just trying to peddle his product, I get it, problem is…they just copied something out there that has been dispelled loooong before they ever manufactured their own product.
if the upper radiator hose is hard, it’s pressurized.
i would run a wire direct from the engine temp sensor to the gauge…I’ve seen high resistance shorts cause erroneous readings.
just run it out side of the truck and plug into the gauge, just for a test.
should never get past 220 before the fan engages…the thermostatic switch is likely the culprit, but have you actually verified this to be truly the temperature? Have you changed the radiator cap? have you verified you have built pressure when at operating temperature?
You dont need to pull them to check them, glow plugs just dont fail unless something takes them out.
low battery voltage will cause starting issue, check battery health

The U.S. military operates these vehicles in every operation theater on the planet…to include Artic environment,they don’t add additional batteries .
The Hawker battery is an incredibly robust battery, albeit expensive, they seem to last what seems forever.
If an owner lives in frigid temp, they should make every effort to ease cold starting, block heater, in door storage etc…there are no benefits to cold starting unaided,
No need to replace the 400amp unless you want to just spend more Momey or it fails…changing the solid pulley to the clutching pulley and correct belt will lower “indicated” RPM’s because the pulley is larger, you are going to tach higher no matter what in these ECV’s due to 2 reason, one is that...
