easier yes but also less quality, I started with earmuffs and they work but a little sound deadening will give you better results without wearing anything on your head.Ear plugs or David Clarks are so much easier !
I use a set of 4 Clark headsets in my truck in combination with the 4-person+passanger unit. Connectet a bt receiver to it for phone and audio.. perfect for long trips!David Clark's are great but I run Flightcoms in my truck along with a Softcom 4 place intercom. Sure quiets down the noise.

I always thought that was funny, the V belt trucks that could use the quick connects normally do not have them and the serpentine truck that do not need them usually suffer from leaking quick connects which is their downside.Hi.. the quick connect für the fan clutch is a pain in the ass. But more easy to reache from under the car.
You do not have to disconnect the fan for changing the serpentine belt.
Having had both, the first time I changed a serpantine belt I premptively disconnected the quick connect fitting first, which was a pain in the ass because it was stuck. Then I realized I didnt need to do that and was like you GOT to be kidding me!I always thought that was funny, the V belt trucks that could use the quick connects normally do not have them and the serpentine truck that do not need them usually suffer from leaking quick connects which is their downside.

My truck was missing the fan side of the disconnect so I had no choice. Never thought about reaching it from under the truck. My arms have the bruises from reaching through the fan to prove it. lolHi.. the quick connect für the fan clutch is a pain in the ass. But more easy to reache from under the car.

Google it what it is... sounds interesting.. let us know what you think when the car is ready*snip* Also installed a Leroy Diesel restrictor from the manifold to the water pump. … *snip*
Probably so!I feel like if your truck needs aftermarket mods to stay at the correct operating temperature, there is something wrong that needs to be fixed.
I have done that, did not make any difference on my engine.This is it. Looks like a lot less hot water will bypass the radiator.

It seems like less hot water going back into the engine has to make some difference. It gets hot here in Vegas and I think on our hottest days it will make a small difference. I understand that the system functions at a certain temperature and it doesn’t do anything to change that. If nothing else it makes me feel better… hahaha it’s shiny tooI have done that, did not make any difference on my engine.
