Crossover is easy enough to swap & test…

The sensors for it are crucial as well. And as AKdd points out- some engines run hotter than others - multiple factors generate more heat before it gets to the job of cooling system to regulate it. This is why I pointed out having used the different crossovers & stats on the SAME ENGINE.

Something definitely isn’t happy. Did you ever put an actual voltage meter on the batteries while running to compare to the dash gauge? 14.4 is the desired rate when batteries are charging

Ive done swaps on the same truck in fleet and on my personal 99 when we were trying to figure it out. To be fair, the 195 stat would move the ect gauge more but keep it steady under or at 195 where as the duals would allow the 210 to happen- exactly opposite of what Big T has in his two...

Quite the interesting idea there! Excited to see.

Glad that put ya on track. That added power you feel…running @ 2psi on the 5/16 fuel line — she has the better LP & larger line the whole way, you are gonna feel that bump in power again even if you don’t change the turbo control yet. You felt roughly 65% and the other 35% is trapped in the...

I think he is ballparking the area and hasn’t seen the port.

Look in my signature. Block off thermostat option. Follow the link. Look at the size of those two. If a person is worried about flow restrictions through thermostat(s)- this would have maximum ability. Also for the dual stats vs single- It was already actually tested years ago. The...

Nope. That oil line comes out of the front of the block. The oil supply under pressure is the camshaft galley for everything on top half of the engine.

I can’t post a link right now, but on YouTube there is plenty of videos teaching how to form fit rubber and silicone hoses. As to the batteries and all- get that $20 battery tester from harbor freight. Get a battery tender charger to keep them topped off if needed from sitting or getting...

Jeffy, welcome. PMD is suspect. But read & learn first: A low dollar code reader at a minimum should be owned. Dont buy one yet- lets learn more before spending money…. Never just start replacing parts aka firing the parts cannon. There is no faster way to go broke and create more issues as...

Rust. Snow. You guys and your pretend words!

Funniest thing I heard of and used was a couple raw eggs. They cruise around the system and get poached when it gets sprayed out the leak. It doesn’t plug anything up and cleans out easily. I never heard of it till I had a bad water pump seal on a trip through death valley. Worked like a...

That would be cool as valve covers. I hate to see the price of having some made.

Hey- awesome they could find it for you! Back years ago when i wrenched on them for my grub- that type of info was rare. I wasn’t in a freightliner dealership but the fleet I ran was a preferred customer for them buying several rigs yearly.

No to the one in your picture. That is a piece of junk from a hummer/hmmwv. No block off. That belongs in the scrap bin. I haven’t destroyed mine just so I can teach from it. I should drill it full of holes to ensure no one ever uses it once I’m dead. I had the wrong part number for...

This site is more for pickups. But I and others put food on the table wrenching or driving big boy trucks. I doubt you’ll find an answer to the fan question. First you need to specify a fan. What engine, then which fan because an FL 60 is mighty different than say a new Cascadia. Then...

Absolutely bad fuel line is a super common issue. When you buy the new fuel line: SAE30R9 Modern diesel has ethanol/ methanol in it. Our old lines do not withstand it and deteriorate from the inside out. So from outside it can look and feel perfect. Having this grade line is not an option but...

Gonna disagree about the dual vs single from experience. Having the block off thermostat is huge! But hummers use a single thermostat that is not a block off style and i tried it vs a dual stat and the single helped there also but very minimal. Once I he block off is in place - huge...

I don’t know of any. I can’t remember seeing a cs144 on a 5.7. They were on 6.0 engines in certain applications, not all. How many of the brackets need to be changed for it all to work would be the next question. They are used on the diesels but bracket definitely do not cross over. Nor...
