    Hot hot should my e4od run?

    According to Hayden coolers website 180 is a good operating temperature, cooler thick fluid doesn't lubricate or flow as well, most oil thermostats work in that range also, going to put there 696 cooler in my 72 Olds 88 (TH400)

    Diff covers.

    Aeriation is a vital but overlooked property of oil, always creates heat if too much, in hydraulic usage it becomes critical. Small ribbing inside of cover will help heat transfer also, surface area increase, could affect oil path positively also, examine/study air/oil cooled engines.

    Track bar bushing

    Yes going to try that next, I went from dr knuckle to pass spring. But there is only so much clearance in axle spring pin holes, and track bar mount to frame is a 1/32, so it must be in the new shackle sleeves and new spring pins. Og pass side spring was tweaked a bit, leaned to pass side a bit...

    Track bar bushing

    yes, did the full weight thing first, then compressed spring with floor jack further, as stated earlier that got the most movement, half a hole off still, going to assume got one of the "bad" ones. Pulled the track bar mount off, no extra bolt clearance there, don't want to elongate those holes...

    Track bar bushing

    Must be some diff. in new springs and shackles from original, spring studs to perch won't allow any more movement, remains of old bush showed it was strained the same way, tried a 3/4 ton puller, chained from knuckle to opp. spring... no help, most improvement was compressing spring, got it to...

    EGT questions

    Track bar bushing

    Truck in sig, D60 leaf spring, got the Moog bushing kit, K80034, for track bar, bushings are 4mm larger the track bar eye, is there something different about a C&C truck? or I got wrong kit, got from Rock Auto. Would like to use my track bar, big heavy forged bar, but guessing there is a...

    Trans fluid question

    These coolers only flow when fluid gets hot. Would eliminate valves and such. http://media.spicerparts.com/cfs/files/media/JuzYrhRsKxtwj9rTr/TRU-BRO-42019.pdf?store=original
