What happened ron

IC is heat soaking the radiator. Hit 225 today bob tailing Goldie in 90 degree heat. Not doing another memorial day trip watching the water temp gauge.

I really need to know what Heath is dealing with tho.

What IC did you have on Goldie? Perhaps your cooling system is in need of a refresh.

I'm running one off a 99 powerstroke with 3" plumbing.
The cooling system has roughly 70k on it.
Radiator is showing the start of solder bloom so it's the weak link right now.
I had to concede to defeat this round. Will more than likely leave that setup for my plow truck. A turbocharged IC equipped 3/4 ton regular cab truck should really make an interesting combo. :D

Got the old girl washed, and I wish I had time to give her a wax job; but alas I do not.

Replaced the front driving lamps to "hide" the deer damage; checked the fuel, filled the oil...
Next up: load up!
