It's buttoned back up now but I can next time I have the cab up (passthrough is bolted back together and the grille is back on). It's easy enough to explain though... If you look behind the grille, you'll find the lines up to the heater core in the dash. One of them already had a splice in it...

Thanks. Looking around, I believe they are Donaldson PSD100033's. It'd be easy to stack two on a side, and in hindsight, that's what I might have done instead.

Ok, so don't do what I did. This doesn't work: After a long drive yesterday, I still had no heat in the hoses to my habitat water heater. This was disapppointing. I knew there was flow through the hose I tapped into, but it was clearly not enough. I ended up talking to Rick about it and...

Sorry about that- the math may be right on but the practical application feels way overkill. I just remembered that I only did one coat, but I did everything within the exterior paneling with those 4 gallons, including the sub-floor structure. My interior lengths are 23' long at the top and...

There are two types of tanks- expansion (within the pressurized system) and overflow (open to ambient atmospheric pressure). I agree the overflow can go anywhere. I built a mid-engine car and my overflow tank is low and in the nose, and the expansion tank which feeds it is the highest thing in...

Off the top of my head, I'd say your math is off. I think I used 4 gal for the interior of my box. I can look it up if you want/need me to but 18 gal sounds way too high. Rick just did his and I think he said he got a 5 gal bucket for his 1079 box. Based on your location, I'd say it'd be...

This is why I left mine in place. It looks quite structural. This may be due to applying the lifting forces when being slung but I figure it can't hurt to keep it. Also, there might not be as much space to recover as you think. The expansion tank is about the same size in dia and needs to be...

That's what I have and will confirm Rick's assessment. They're fantastic. I see no downside after ~500 miles so far. 2000 M1088A1, 3126 in OE 330h tune, ~7' tall box on back, hwy gears, ECO hubs, somewhere around 25k pounds at this point. For what it's worth, Rick sprayed Lizard Skin after...

I used some for a while and switched to balance beads. I think it was pure anti-freeze. It seemed to do something but I never did all the tires, so there may have been more to give from it. I also probably didn't use enough. One thing I did notice when went to change out to the beads: the 2...

If I hadn't had to work this weekend, you would have seen three.

And BTW, there is no overflow tank on this cooling system. The ~1/4" line which comes off beneath the radiator cap just runs back behind the expansion tank and... ends. Any overflow is just purged out and not collected.

Correct. The two at the top/back of the tank feed into it and the bottom pulls out of it.

It's not an overflow, it's the expansion tank. A line goes out the bottom and back to the motor.

To me, it's a no-brainer. A few connections, no moving parts, and if anything in the added loop fails, the OE hose can get moved back to its original connection point and bypass the heater. If I'm in survival mode, I'll add some water back in and keep rolling. It's basically effortless hot...

Engine heated hot water should now be functional Redirected the flow to the expansion tank: Made a bulkhead fitting: Interior side of bulkhead fitting: Hook up to coil #1 of 2 on the dual coil water heater: Haven't heat cycled the truck yet, but it is back together and able to be...

Right-click, save-image-as.... Feel free to use whichever appeals.

Logged about 300 more miles this past week, mostly over-the-road, out to Astoria and back with my dad. Stuffed some boats and bikes in the big box and had a great week of paddling, riding, taking pics, hiking, and puttering around Ft Stevens State Park. Took lots of pics of sunsets and a...

It's whatever the OE tune is for the 2000 M1088A1. I believe it's 330hp and whatever the torque rating is which goes with that output.

I believe Brandon has a 1078 A0. Look up Lostchain on the forum. He has posted feedback and some videos following his conversion. I have a 1088A1 with a big box on it which had highway gears already in it and I love what the ECO hubs have done. I've got about 400 miles on them so far, about...

My favorite thing is free stuff but I feel compelled to suggest that for very modest contribution, you can help make sure it stays around: https://steelsoldiers.com/account/upgrades It's probably the easiest ROI I have ever achieved.
