Hi Artisan I put a bunch of build pictures in my profile (under albums, hit the "more" button) vs. posting in this thread (you were looking for a few extra pictures, I failed to post them in this thread).

Good post........as I'm in need of a new zipper boot. I did a pre trip inspection this morning and said to myself "What are those globs of grease under the truck?"....and then looked at the axle.

Pulling trees in snow Did this today with M925, no ballast in bed, G177 stock tires http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qc1umlwIWzg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1wDMP6Dkp8

I waited 2 hours to let it set up before putting coolant back in......no leaks as of yet. I did forget to tighten down the center nut on the element (where it plugs in)...saw a drip or two, though nothing when tightened up. It has been a couple days now and I haven't noticed any coolant...

It does.......the element is replaced when changing the desiccant canister (sits in the center under the canister). Here's a picture of both removed : The replacement part/package came with both parts, an O ring....and even a little thimble or artic grease.

Without your help, I might not of done this project......thanks again!!! Stunning "driveway" /scenery by the way. My wife still can't understand why I put all the time, $$ into putting a plow on the truck.......but in here, I'm right at home. When I'm out there on business next year...

Here is a picture of the label on the pouch it came in, part number DQ6036

Project complete.....now if it would just snow a little more http://youtu.be/mr1KWsRDslA

Desiccant canister installed.......not sure of quality of product from supplier I received the desiccant canister yesterday and found an issue. I purchased the canister from E-pay and the surplus supplier had a 99.7% satisfaction rating. The problem is the aluminum sealant bag has a hole in...

Sharp looking upgrades!!!

Yes, drained about 7 1/2+ gallons and about a pint when removing the access cover. To drain, open the petcock on the lower right side of the radiator. It will take a good 15-20 minutes to empty.

I used this set up with success this past weekend: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200365179_200365179

A few pictures of the install I Installed the block heater today and found the toughest part was removing the old gasket. Napa matched the on-line price of $69.99 (Katz 30101 heater), picked up the day after ordering (Delevan, WI). I found the coolant to be in pretty good shape, though I...

Welcome!!

It's likely the drier as the wet tank is the first to get air from it, then the protection valve. Petcock #3 has never let water out after each run (unlike my M817 which spits like Daffy Duck). I'll change the desiccant and report back.

Oh.....a side note on my heat gun: it goes up to approximately 350 degrees. Anything more (such as a blow torch or the like), I would worry about damaging the valve or the line (that would be a whole new level of "fun" while lying in the snow to work on the truck).

Darn!!! I just picked one up on E-pay. Next time, I'll put a "want ad" in before buying outside of the "family". Thank you for offering.

It worked!!! A heat gun applied to the protection valve for about 5 minutes and it did the trick. The protection valve is on the front of the wet tank just to the right (when looking back towards the drier). I plan on changing the desiccant canister (the black can in the background of the...

Thank you gents. I'll try a heat gun at the protection valve. I use to use it for R/C modeling (when applying covering to wings)......should work for this application. Merry Christmas!!
