    Cut / Notch a bumper

    That's how mine are done. Pics are in the link at bottom of post #4 above. I've abused it a little, but not to the point of the front bumper being on the ground with the rear tires in the air (yat).

    Cut / Notch a bumper

    Which front bumper do you have? The one on my 94 7.3 IDI T has cutouts big enough to fit 2" receivers through with ~ 1/2" to spare https://www.oilburners.net/threads/so-what-did-you-do-with-your-truck-today.60076/post-1012065

    aluminum vs. copper radiators

    If anyone in / around the great lakes area has any interest there's a shop in central Michigan that re-cores copper. Does an awesome job.

    Coolant leaking from...somewhere

    The leak I struggled to locate was AF from a barely leaking radiator being flung into the engine by the fan. Not until the leak became greater did I finally see droplets jumping from the fan to the block.

    1984 6.9 radiator re-core cost

    Plastic tanks cost me a motor when it split right across from the return / hot hose connection. Pumped all the coolant out very quickly. Daughter was driving and by the time she realized there was a problem and stopped, the truck had severely overheated. Got everything patched back together and...

    Fuel heater delete?

    For some reason I'm under the impression if doing the 1/2 NPT plug it is supposed to be brass. That's what I did anyway. I'm sure I read it somewhere or I would not have thought of it. Also ensure any thread sealant is rated for the application and keep it back a couple threads from the...

    1984 6.9 radiator re-core cost

    The radiator shop claimed a recore would be as good as the original. The original lasted 25 years. $500+ a little / 25 years = very good deal IMO They, by all appearances and performance, did an awesome job.

    Lost another Champion Radiator.

    Had my OEM recored about 2 years ago for a little north of $500. You're never going to get as good of a replacement as that OEM recore for the same money assuming the shop does quality work.
