Just got back from the trip. 1,240 miles round trip from Savannah, GA to Louisville, KY and back pulling a 22' car trailer loaded with a 2002 Chrysler mini van. Everything went absolutely awesome, no issues at all. Temp guage pointed at 210 twice for about 15 seconds each time during the trip...

In my opinion, it's hard to beat an old R-model Mack or Superliner as far as durability and dependability. It seems like you can run them hard, beat them up off-road/hauling heavy, not take care of them maintenance wise, etc and they just keep on going and going. They may smoke, they may leak...

I thought of that too... I have quite a bit of clearance all around the downpipe, enough to fit my fingers between it and the frame. This noise kinda has me stumped. Everything seems fine, everything is tight, no signs of damage anywhere, no other problems or symptoms other than a weird...

Thanks for the suggestions. I pulled the cover down tonight after work. Converter bolts are tight, nothing laying in the bottom of the inspection cover either. From what I could see everything in that area looked perfect. The noise didn't happen again all day. I loaded up the wife's 2002...

I was out towing with the subruban last night, everything went great. On the way home I stopped at a traffic light and noticed an unusual "dull sounding rattling" noise coming from the firewall/floor/engine area. The noise only happens at idle speed, as soon as you touch the accelerator it goes...

X2 on what everyone else has said so far. If you plan on towing heavy or often with it, you may be disappointed with a NA 6.2 as they were bred for MPG, long life, and occasional light towing....... not for stump pulling torque or running 70 up a hill with a loaded car trailer. If you want...

I agree......for $50 I would jump on it quick.

Check with member MIKE K3500 I know he had an extra HO pump that he was looking to sell a few days ago.

Yes it works great with a single stat setup. No, there isn't any "special stat" required for this setup. However, it is recommended that you use an AC Delco brand thermostat.

Well, something is better than nothing.

Yes, they hold 8 qts.

Yes, it's bigger. But it is also shaped differently and won't fit when going into a truck.

Yes, exactly. The condenser lays horizontally above the rear wheel. It has an electric fan on it that comes on and off with the A/C. Completely independant of the engine cooling fan.

Glad to see you back.

True....I don't "expect" any problems out of her. But on a funny side note..... while I was typing my earlier post I couldn't help thinking..... Maybe I should spend the 80 bucks and get a new set of injectors tested, matched, and installed before the trip. :D I only have a fraction of...

Something I read in a different thread caught my attention earlier and made me do a little thinking.....which usually hurts. I was looking at thermostat specs for a 6.2/6.5. It said the thermostat begins opening at 195, but doesn't fully open until around 210-212..... So, supposing our temp...

So.....how did the break in go? If you followed Big T's advice, I am sure you're worn out. :D

I may have a thread just like this of my own later this fall. Uncle Sam has decided that he needs me in KY, so we will be moving about 600 miles NW later this fall. I will be towing a quad cab dodge 1500 2WD on an 18' trailer. Not a real heavy load or a real long distance.....but hey....it's...

The fan clutch bolts to the pulley itself, not to the water pump like on the 98's. The pulley is a beefy cast pulley, not the stamped steel version on the 98's. The serp pulley bolts to the water pump using 4 bolts...... Then the fan clutch bolts to the pulley with 4 other bolts. It's a...
