    Aluminum radiator upgrade

    Keep the box. You will need it to send it back under warranty. I put 3 in my truck in about 8 years. No electrolysis,grounds good. Fresh coolant with distilled water every year and they still leak. I have the 4th warranty one in my garage,brand new and wrapped up.

    New Clutch Doesn't Work *NEW ISSUE*

    Many years ago the clutch slave on mine sprung a leak. I bought a new one and put it on. I pumped,bled till I was blue in the face. Could not get any pedal.

    Synthetic oil as fuel?

    The rotary Mazdas use engine oil to lube the apex seals. They specifically say not to use synthetic oil in them. I do not know how that would corrodinate to our antique diesels. Wouldn't gear oil stink as a fuel?

    86 6.9l water pump

    A big pair of channelocks or a hammer and chisel will get the clutch off. You likely need a new one anyway. Usually the aftermarket water pumps come with 2 bolts. Those go in the top 2 holes.

    Has anyone converted their R12 AC to 134a?

    Really need to replace the r12 accumulator too. The r134a will cause the dessicant bag to break and dump all the dessicant into the system.

    Has anyone converted their R12 AC to 134a?

    As for the oil amount. Add 3.5 oz of oil per pound or r134a. My truck holds 2.75 lbs or r134a. That equals 9.6 oz of oil. I error on the cautious side and put in 10 oz.

    Oil filter and wrenches??

    When you install the new one oil the gasket. Put it on then back it off just enough to relax the gasket.

    No specs? No sound of the truck going down the road and they should fix the glow plugs properly. Lame!
