I got a deal on POR15 the other day thanks

Good idea didn't think about that

Im in Alaska cabs are hard to find. I guess Ill plug away at it

Any pointers on fixing this rust would be great.

Well its been almost a year since my 5 ton started over heating. After fixing a broken bolt and some other stuff we got her back together. Now I have tons of rust in the cab to deal with.

Thanks for the reminder about the heater core. Ordered the bearings today off Ebay. Hard time finding the NTN 4t-cri-0868 I hope I got the right one. About $100 total. Clutch pad looks to be in great shape, but there is a little rust. Had the steel coolant pipes sand blasted, any ideas about the...

Got the clutch tore down. Bearing 4T-CR1-0868 and 2X bearings 6206LU Looks to be in good shape for the most part. Bearing is bad for sure.

Coolant filter is on the to do list. :) What king of antifreeze do you guys use? Green?

SUMMER TEMPS AVERAGE IN THE 60'S. Last year was the first time in my life time that Wasilla hit 90 degrees.

Sorry the 5 ton has a square cornered radiator. Water pump is steel construction and in good shape. Lots of gunk in the system. CLR seems to be working really good at cleaning stuff up. Started to take apart the fan clutch and will post pics soon.

Almost exactly the same, the M923 has rounded corners on the radiator. Freightliner has squared. No coolant out the overflow but it was boiling when I took the cap off. Gauge said 235 and then I found out the engine fan had a bad bearing.

Been digging into the coolant system since my truck started over heating. Lots of junk in the system. Trying to clean up the radiator with CLR and flush the sysytem. Found out my fan clutch is bad so gathering parts to rebuild. Thought I would post some pics.

No I'll have to search. I have not converted to LED yet.

I agree!
