I think I recall someone was working on a DIY manifold that circulates the coolant with an inexpensive diesel RV heater, like an expensive Webasto or Espar.

Dropping temperatures make me think about extreme cold starts at some point with my truck. TN is no North Pole, but if I start to travel, I'm I curious what people use to keep there CATs warm in severe cold. I know that block heaters have been known to cause a fire or two. I have seen dipstick...

Nice build!

Thanks everyone for your input. I was not really sure it was even feasible, especially with interstate travel.

Actually members of a particular political party make great dead weight. Heck, you don't even have to strap them down. They automatically attach like leaches. :)

Be careful with moved center of gravity and weight carried higher.

Are you trying to get max. clearance?

I recently had a tote filled with about #2000 of fluid slide to the back of my 5 x 10 trailer. It shifted from the middle of the trailer to the back and the trailer started fishtailing all over. It went from stable to dangerous in 1 second. It was a white knuckle day, for me and the people...

Sounds like if I get it, best have it shipped from NC or TX. My m1088 needs more work before road trusty.

Not sure if it is possible, but anyone have a hitch recommendation (brand) for picking up a M1082 with an f150?

People are fed up with the fed's logic.

Nice!

Any news on this?

Very nice truck. Needs more lights though ; )

For those using the OEM line replacement and want to replace the straight and 90 degree fitting, the cost is about $20.50. I believe the part numbers are 6v8628 and 6v8647. I will double check those numbers tomorrow.

Why would you want to connect it to the head? You want that portion as sound dead as possible. Connecting to the head will increase the intensity of the vibration. I'd anchor off something else and dampen the clamp inside with butyl rubber.

I just put that part on yesterday. It's genuine CAT. After examining it and how it fits, I am going to replace both fitting at each end. I am talking to CAT this AM. The O rings appear flattened / worn down. Metric O rings did not fit theses parts well. Possibly SAE. Nevertheless, I am realizing...
