    Cooling upgrade system.

    No I dont drill and tap the flat block off plates as putting a fitting into a thin plate and hoping it seals and is pointing the right direction is questionable at best. I machine a weldable bung fitting and TIG weld it to the plate and use a swivel AN aluminum fitting so you place it in the...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    The difference between what I am doing and the others is they drill and tap the coolant plates, I TIG custom machined fittings onto new plates so there is no chance of leaks and so sealers etc are not needed. Further the other systems tie into the heater circuit which I found is limited to...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    So guys I am thinking of setting up a pre-buy or deposit for those that are ready to buy and that will fund getting all the parts together. We could use PayPal so your money is safe. Thoughts? Pictures will take a little time as I am waiting to get my truck back from the paint shop. Although...

    Before I go crazy digging all over my SEE I though to ask the group if they have been down this road. I have had everything working great on my SEE. The air system is perhaps too good as it goes to 150PSI if I am not careful to release some pressure with the hand trailer brake or emergency...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    My kit will fit all three types. It is really an absolute must on the 6.2 to have half a chance. The 6.5 is less susceptible to the long list of ills found on the 6.2 but still greatly benefits. Anything you can do to cool a turbo is needed. Even with all the updates on the GEP engines they...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    I dont have pics at the moment as my truck is getting painted. I will provide pics when I get the truck back and I am planning on making a few more kits but that is one of the reasons I posted to gauge the level of interest. I took digital temps across the heads prior to the mod and after...

    Cooling upgrade system.

    I assume several of you have seen the cooling upgrade kit that adds flow from the rear of the heads to the heater circuit. Rubberduck makes one as does Flash Offroad. At any rate I have figured out a way to better skin the cat. Those systems have a flaw in that the flow is partially dependent...

    Thanks. Mine are definitely EATON though so I wonder if they are compatible? I guess I will try and see.

    I used to build Porsche Race cars for a living so I am pretty good at getting into tight places (while curing in German of course) to get things done. Is it possible your brackets were bent up by a forklift or something? I slipped my tank out without removing the rear bracket, but I did have...

    I would like the numbers and source as I cant get enough numbers off mine to figure out where to get them. Conversely they appear to be standard flat face couplers which if I knew the size could just order.

    I pulled out the assembly from the tank while I was there to also make sure there is nothing else wrong like a rusted pickup tube.

    I was in my workshop with air tools and such....in the mud might add 10-15 mins... ;)

    Tank drop It is pretty quick to drop fix and replace. Took me an hour or so. Glad to hear we finally came to the bottom of it.

    I had my return and pickups reversed in my tank. Would run great till the tank went to 3/4 full, then would die. Might be something to look at.

    I have seen those used on airlifts as tie down points on commercial cargo aircraft.

    FLU419 Snow Plow

    I would consider just getting a plow for a bucket. They just slip over the loader and lock down. They are pretty common.
