Peninsular Diesel went bankrupt last year. If I were you I would get one of those OEM units from Eastern Surplus. Or if you want/need more flow, spend a few extra bucks and get a FlowKooler. That’s what I installed on my P400. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks. If I could just re-retire I could get my new P400 and 700R4 installed. Let me know if I can assist you in anyway.

I’ve learned that you will have more folks following your thread if you will post just a little bit of progress and include photos to visually explain what you did. Have you been following my rebuild thread?

Ummm... you lost me right after “Hello Fellow Steel soldiers....”.

I’m ready to hear that thang running.

I used RTV to hold the O-ring in place while the outer rim was torqued down. RTV seemed to work better than Super Glue, which the previous owner had used and made a mess and had to be chipped out with a sharp screwdriver. Let us know how that McMaster O-ring fits.

Looking good.

I’m showing a part number for the boot as GM 7845127.

Has anybody come up with a way to insulate the open void space in our trucks cab roofs? It seems we spend a lot of time, money and effort insulating the floor and firewall but never do anything with the cab roof. Thanks in advance for your replies.

Looking good.

If you guys want to see what a real CUCV overlander looks like, check out Glockfan’s new thread over in the CUCV Hotrodding section.

Outstanding Joe. Probably the best overlander I’ve ever seen.

Thanks everyone but still have not found what I am looking for. I will post photos later.

Does anybody know a source for reproduction engine decals? I want to paint my air cleaner and would like to make it look new.

Money. All it takes is money. And plenty of it. And the ability to release that large sum of money without trepidation or guilt. And an understanding wife. And a successful career. And realistic goals. And patience. And quality tools. And dedication with a desire to think outside the box.

Glad it’s coming together for you. Thanks for the update.

Rich, a mechanical water temperature gauge could be the most important instrument in your truck. Here is the gauge I am installing in my M1028 - https://www.autometer.com/2-5-8-water-temp-120-240-f-6-tubing-mech.html

The correct TV cable is AC Delco 25515599. 36.1" long. The correct 700R4-to-NP208 tall adapter is GM 14038663 to fit on the standard CUCV crossmember. Not sure about that "W" crossmember, or if your NP241 is different. The 14038663 is 1-piece all cast, however I have heard that you can also...

Rich - glad it’s running. I recommend you consider mechanical oil pressure and water temperature gauges to eliminate any possibility of error. And yes I agree that the thermostat is not opening. Is it possible that it got installed backwards?

My fingers are crossed.
