Thought I would start a new thread on this since a lot of guys are always looking for a good replacement copper/brass radiator.
Old one went out a while ago and wasn't able to be fixed
Ordered this new one and it arrived today at the radiator shop I use.
Large 3 core and EXACTLY like the old...
Other than the algae issue, what other fuel problems?
Any other issues?
These units are rare here.
I think GP has only sold about 12 or so total.
Light, plus a generator big enough to run a small house.
They are definitely a bargain.
Any additional info/pics would be great.
I have used AirLift airbags on different trucks for over 20 years.
They make a very good product
I have a set on my GMC conversion van right now.
A set will add value to your truck and once you experience the difference in ride and load capability, you will wonder why you didn't get a set...
A lot of time/energy is being used to figure out how to rig this instead of just fixing the problem correctly.
You've spent all this time on it.
Don't take a shortcut now.
If your like most guys I know, there will be a day when you wished you would have done it the right way.
Just an...
As much as that totally sucks, I personally would wait for the correct head from them and then redo it.
That way you know it's 100% correct and not rigged together.
If you were selling it soon, sure, get it running and get rid of it.
But since your keeping it, do it right.
I know it's...
I didn't take pics of the part numbers, but if you search the old threads, all the info is there.
Thats what I did.
Do not use the cheap Chinese bearings.
Use Timken or Federal-Mogul (bearings/seals)
Dexter Axle makes the shoes.
Redline does too and cylinders also.
You get what you pay...
Anything not Genset related in the Auxiliary Equipment Forum gets swamped over with all the Genset threads.
Any info on a dedicated forum for Gensets only?
As stated in first post, filters are not there.
Their gone and all fluids drained. Filter bases are sealed from elements.
Pick it up next week and want filters already in hand.
Kubota D905-E engine
Need air/oil/fuel filter numbers (Found)
Light Bulb part numbers also. (Want a few spares). (Found)
I know what the Kubota tractor dealership has, but would like to know what others are running on their units.
Listing pictures on other units don't show filter numbers...
I wanted the brass/copper and as close to original style as possible.
Already knew the cost was double that of the plastic/aluminum, but you get what you pay for.
The truck is a workhorse and it will never be sold.
I buy the best parts I can afford and that keeps me off the side of the road.
Radiator shop called today and said the original radiator is shot.
Something was cracked and split and would cost almost as much as a new one to fix.
Ordered today a brand new brass/copper exact replacement for $700.
Should arrive soon. They build to order.
Keeping the old radiator. For...
