    Taking a break was just what I needed. The fan temperature switch and glow plug controller are now both out. 3 out of 4 bolts...

    Parts are here. Back to work. I did not realize that the replacement water crossover was a used part, but that's my fault for not...

    In a previous post, I had a suspicion that the water crossover was cracked at the heater hose fitting. It didn't take long to prove I...

    Let's see if we can try out these new hoses. I'm just going to fill the system with distilled water for the moment. We'll bring the...

    ON POINT! Great stuff when used correctly. Commercial truck shops have this stuff in stock, be forewarned they like it a lot...$$$$$

    Everything is a trade off. Quality silicone hoses will last much longer and survive higher temps. They have multiple reinforced layers...

    When these come flying off, which will be at the worst possible moment, I'm definitely going back to rubber.

    The good thing about silicone hoses is they are slippery so they are easy to get off, the bad thing about silicone hoses is they are...

    Look what came in the mail yesterday. These are among the most expensive hose clamps I've ever owned. They look nice enough. They're...

    Thank you. This was exactly the input I was looking for. I was thinking the same thing. Right now, I have about a "knuckle" of space...
