WOW - gone for a couple of days and the carnage continues.... I didn't expect such a "heated" debate.... What I asked is if ANYONE had tried placing a heater in the oil cooler because I had not heard of it done until I saw that the coolant heater I picked up referenced placing it in that...

Thanks greenjeepster, I will take a look and see if there is enough room in the oil cooler to put the heater... The element is about 3 1/2 inches long.

I picked up a 1000 watt heater today and looked at the directions inside. It showed a couple of engines and in both cases it referenced locating the heater in the oil cooler housing (drilling and tapping if necessary). I haven't looked to see if there is a plug large enough there, but has...

I'm waiting until I can pull the rig into the shop to do a full inspection... but from what I thought I saw, a perfectly fine looking steel line blew just before a divider to the rear tandems. Maybe it was rubbing against the frame or something like that (small rock lodged between the line and...

Since I am going to be rebuilding my whole system, I have been reading this with great interest... A thought had occurred to me that the solution to the single MC problem of system failure was a newly invented hydraulic line spill check poppet.... It was designed for hydraulic line failures...

Sooooo..... I guess I am going to jump in and over haul the whole brake system... Master Cylinder to Wheel cylinder.... OUCH!!! But I can't trust the system any more, So every line and hose must go!!!

Yikes!!! Don't want to do that!!! I was reading the other thread about block heaters and someone mentioned that the hole sits behind the impeller??? It looks like I might have to pull the radiator (again) because the radiator guys couldn't properly tin the fan shroud in place and has since...

I've got a 1000 watt one arriving at NAPA on Tues and a silly idea of putting the heater in a brass "T" fitting attached to a close nipple to reduce the distance into the casing to about 3/4 of an inch.... the "T" fitting is so I can attach my hose back to that same location... Yes, I am aware...

I want to install a coolant heater in the lower plug of the water pump casting that people are referring too but.... The 1000 Watt heating element is about 3 1/2 inches long - will it hit the impellers? I can't judge by the scale on any of the TMs and draining all of my antifreeze to check...

Just a friendly reminder to all, in this cold and icy new year, to check your brakes!!! I started up my deuce and ran her a bit before I brought her in the garage for a brake inspection and bearing/seal check up... drove down the driveway a bit and hit the brakes on the dirt drive and had a...

IMHO... if you find a good tire dealer (read - real truck tire dealer) they should be able to mount all 10 of your tires included in the total price... Living up here in Maine I figured I could get a deal on the tires I wanted (10.00 X 20 Good Year G-177's) online or out of state.... Well...

Is the fuel line free of obstructions???

I would assume that you put the spacers in the right way? I can't remember if it is possible to put them in backwards.... but here is a couple of pics of when I found my screen and spacers in the bottom of the tank.... I correct myself.. Actually the yahoo that riveted the screen on, never...

Well after a bunch of hemming and hawwing.... Adding the 3rd axle to help increase the safety of hauling capacity may not hold sway with the Commercial Enforcement Division of the State Police.... They are not convinced of many things and I am not sure I can get the truck that was designed for...

I'm a fan of Hydraulic as well, but I'm becoming more of a fan of the belt driven Hydro pump over the PTO..... (Northern tool has em). I like them because you have plenty of GPM and PSI when you need it, it is independent of your drive train (so you can work a difficult spot while driving and...

Ditto!!! This is one thing I really need to do as well.... and brakes.... and springs... and and and... great topic

Yeah, the seat hasn't fared well either... I've got the old canvas and I'll try and see if I can get one of the sail boat canvas cobblers to stitch me up a new seat and top! If not I'm pretty handy with a grommet tool. :-D

Yup. It finally happened... I'm driving down the road and then RRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIP!!!!! I guess it didn't like driving at 50mph after a cold winter!!! I just so happened to have a spare piece of soft corrugated plastic laying around and zip tied the snot out of it to get it to stay so the...
