    Oil coolers and lines, changes over the years, guidance please.

    Good point about the heat rating. I had a real fun time cleaning out the bearing material from an in radiator cooler from an engine failure a few years back. I finally got it clean after a lot of solvent blown through with air. Looked like a whale blowing :hihi:

    Oil coolers and lines, changes over the years, guidance please.

    Actually the OEM HO lines and cooler are almost exactly what his line kit is, not including shipping in either case. One plus is Leroy's stuff would allow connecting the non HO cooler to the 1/2 ports, but like I mentioned before, 'not sure if like' :skep:. I have had experience with AN type...

    Oil coolers and lines, changes over the years, guidance please.

    Ok I understand not tossing them. Its not like I begrudge you 10 wing wangs, that's a deal, its the time. So what is the shipping to 24550? Got a HO cooler? :) Another issue is how to pay you. I do paypal but this is my buddys project. I suspect we can work something out though. Thanks.

    Oil coolers and lines, changes over the years, guidance please.

    Thanks good info there.:thumbsup: The video suggests a question. You seem to imply that there is a factory hose set that that is either HO cooler to 3/8 ports or non HO cooler to 1/2" ports, or both. Besides the obvious non to 3/8 and HO to 1/2 sets. Is this the case? If so do you know the...

    Oil coolers and lines, changes over the years, guidance please.

    If time was not an issue I would take you up on that deal. Shipping from CA would take a while, where I am located is central to the east coast warehouses. Advance Autos is in Roanoke less than a hour to the west, so I can get stuff from there from Am to pm and over nite with no shipping.

    Oil coolers and lines, changes over the years, guidance please.

    We just put a 98 engine in a friends 96 Suburban, now down to the last hookups. I knew there was going to be an issue with the 1/2 NPT oil cooler in out ports in the newer block because of the bigger oil pump to feed the piston squirts. I did noodle around on here and used Rock Auto to research...

    Who makes these "Texas" style ranch bumpers?

    I put in my truck and as I suspected they have nothing listed for it.:nonod: Set up a search in eBay I reckon.

    Who makes these "Texas" style ranch bumpers?

    I really like these. Anyone have a clue who makes them? :???: I think I see a little plate but cant make it out. I suspect like a lot of custom stuff for 90's trucks its NLA :nonod: but at least I will know what to look for. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SILVERADO-/200866529301?

    Newbie from 29 palms, CA soon to be veteran going home to VA

    If I am reading this right you are talking about a engine driven fan and an electric fan? If so I have been there and tried that. Does not work as well as one might think it will.

    Newbie from 29 palms, CA soon to be veteran going home to VA

    Hey when you move we will be neighbors... sort of. I am next door in Campbell county. Maybe we can get together and bench race :)

    New diesel TDI added to the stable today

    The wife really loves her Jetta TDI 6 speed. Yes a woman that prefers a manual. I think I will keep her :hihi: Previously we have had a 1998 and 2001 1.9l TDI Beetles. Then none for several years and then the wife wanted another VW diesel. We might have bought a Chevy Cruze if it had been...

    6.5 issues

    Those hard plastic vacuum lines get brittle and crack. I had to hunt down and patch three leaks to get a buddy's turbo working again and then we found the control solenoid was sticky, sometimes no boost and then it would be working but looked like the ECU had little fine control over it. After...

    Emergency shuttoff valve

    It is. Seen it on a 1500, never seen it on a 2500 but granted my sample size is relatively small. :)

    Any interest in a spring meetup?

    In another thread there is chat about the Carlisle PA swap meets and shows. But that may be to fer north for a mid Atlantic meetup. Being its north of the Mason Dixon line and such. :hihi: Carlisle Truck Nationals Aug 2-Aug 4 is the truck one but is really to late for a spring meetup...

    Carlisile PA fall swap meet

    Good to know. Aka Truck Nationals right? I wouldn't mind snagging a few deals, like a set of OEM alloys for the burb. What is the focus of the Zephyrhills Winter AutoFest? Any of the Collector Car Swap Meets worth going to? (for us truckie type gearheads) Back in the day I had a Dodge Charger...

    Carlisile PA fall swap meet

    I used to go to those at least once a year 15 +years ago :). How about a heads up when they start again?

    Any interest in a spring meetup?

    I'm just tossing the seed of an idea out for discussion. Where and when depends on many factors. Like who is interested in a meetup and what is the center of gravity of those locations. Or a meet up at an event. What interesting to us events are going on in spring? For example...

    HX40WII

    Thanks. I have heard tell of the rice rocketeers using the HY35 on four poppers. They must spin the piss out of them before the boost starts even with the 9cm housing. It would work fine on a 6.5 though, getting boost up right off idle. BTW how is the HX40WII at off idle power considering it...

    HX40WII

    For those of us that might have got to class late. Can you guys expand on the difference in the HX types. HX35, HX40W, HX40WII? And then relate them to the ATT. Thanks.

    Any interest in a spring meetup?

    Any interest in a meet up in the Mid Atlantic area? Maybe at a big event, tractor pull, race, tractor show, rural heritage type fair or some such location. Probably the lowest stress way to go, no one has to "host". :hello:
