So the fact it dropped tells me a couple things might be going on. One as mentioned you may have or had large amounts of unfilled areas of the cooling system that are burping to the overflow tank. Air in the system will cause all manner of weirdness as is can impede the flow of coolant and...
Did you open the heater valve during any of this process? If not you might have a lot of air in the heater circuit that is burping into the system and causing steam pockets.
Is your coolant level dropping at all?
Try placing jumper cables from the battery to the block and the chassis and...
These trucks are electrically noisy. Grounds are key as Dock Rocker said above. Grounding the stereo equipment to the battery will help. Ultimately you might need a noise filter.
The rear brackets accept a 4-man bulkhead so the rear tailgate can be down and there be a bulkhead as well to keep cargo in. Are there mount hols on the inside of your tailgate too? The center rocker doublers are in the TMs somewhere. The brackets on the side fenders I am not sure about. The...
Sintorion,
I have NEVER lied on this forum.
I have always treated you with respect and answered your questions time and time again despite your flagrant disrespect and aggressive attacks. We are at what I see is an insurmountable impasse that will never be resolved. I am fine with that...
If you decide to go the fender mounted route, you will not need both sides. One unit is more than enough. As is a single unit has twice the capacity of a single radiator mounted unit.
We have a 24V advanced fan controller unit we are releasing which will control those fans nicely and is an...
So long as you flush as well as possible and use distilled water and a high quality coolant with good anti-corrosion properties you should not see a 'mud puddle' in a year. A lot of the stuff that comes out of these after military service is due to field topping off with whatever water source...
Happy 4th of July all.
If you would like to know more about our product here is a blog article that covers everything pretty well.

Sintorion,
I am not sure what your personal agenda is here but several members of this site have asked you to lay off. Again we have very completely tested our products, you just don't like the way we did it. Our customers all over this site and around the world disagree with you. You are...
Everything sounds OK in your system minus the fan switch as mentioned. I have seen so much crud in the system that it piled up behind the thermostat. So you might want to pick up a gasket and at lest pull the thermostat to take a look. You can also do a boiling water to test to make sure it...
We obviously have a lot of experience in the cooling department on these trucks and I cant stress enough what was stated above. These trucks need very thorough flushing! A combination of life in the military motor pool and a really bad cooling flow design internally in the block casting, there...
Sintorion,
We spent months developing, testing, tuning, adjusting and then even after production started, continued to upgrade these kits. The only thing we have not done is spend time on a dynomometer which we would like to do when it works logistically to do so. You just dont like that we...
We have been over this with you time and time again. The kits are fully tested and proven and are in mass use now in hundreds of trucks around the world. There is no proving this to you at any cost and that is fine by us. Good luck as always Sintorion.
Make sure you run your heater when you are refilling your system as that can hold a lot of air and you will not get a good flush with the heater valve closed either. I do not recommend running a thermostat less than 190deg as these diesels need to run around 190-210 to get proper burn. Make...
Of course modern flex-fuel and multi-fuel engines have fuel quality sensors which determine the octane of the fuel as it is pumped and electronically adjust on the fly.
The more I look at this the more it seems there would be two requirements. One, you will need another reservoir for the purge function. This can be a smaller tank mounted on the passenger side. Two, you will need a purge governor added into the system to switch the pump to vent to atmosphere...
