Alternator brand options.
Getting harder to find.. but you maybe able to find an alternator and starter rebuild shop (usually some ol guy working in a small grungy shop). I've had better luck with old school rebuild shops than buying "rebuilds" at the big box stores.- jrollf

Fleetguard Red Coolant
I've been using Chevron Delo Fleet ELC coolant for six years now and have been very happy with it. FWIW I have an aluminum radiator. I did run it for a few years with the OE copper, but replaced it when one of the tanks cracked (NOT corroded, mechanical damage)...- jrollf

Sharing a find, HO waterpump
That's what I was wondering, more water flow isn't always a good thing. It will be intersting to see what kind of results you get.- jrollf

F26 dome light how to open?
I already had an LED bulb so didn't get LMCs... but I agree, the clear lens with a decent LED bulb lights up the cab a lot better.- jrollf

What is the fix?
Might be worth sending an oil sample (after you get some miles on it) to Blackstone Labs. I did after I bought my 93 back in 2005, they found trace amounts of ant-freeze in my oil, couldn't see it visually. I ran another short oil change, and it too showed trace amounts. Pulled and rebuilt my...- jrollf

F26 dome light how to open?
If you end up breaking it, LMC Truck has new ones. They also have a clear refraction type lens that I like a lot better than the original white lens.- jrollf

The Official LUK 07-225 SMF Clutch Kit & ZF S5-42/47 Rollover Noise Poll
This mirrors my opinion. If I could have found a DMF for a sane price, I would have got it. Every once in a blue moon Rock Auto some how gets a stock of DMFs for not too stupid prices, of course they didn't have any when I needed one. I really miss how quiet the DMF was, but after adding some...- jrollf

High clutch pedal effort
I had a really stiff clutch for a couple years and chased it like you are doing... then one day I pressed the clutch to be greeted by a "bang" and couldn't disengage the clutch anymore. Tore it down to find 3 of the release fingers on the pressure plate broke. Put in a new clutch and pressure...- jrollf
