    Coolant with Champion Radiator

    Never heard that. I can't find anything on Fleet Charge's website that indicates as such, either: Spec sheet: http://images.peakauto.com/Fleet%20Charge_Spec%20Sheet_0215.pdf FAQ: http://www.peakhd.com/product-lines/Fleet-Charge/faq/ I've been running Fleet Charge mixed 50/50 with...

    Fuel additives?

    Re: Clarcor, I wouldn't be worried. As a former Clarcor employee, I can tell you they're real big on buying out companies to diversify, but they rarely get into the inner workings of the plant itself. Didn't know you sold Stanadyne additives. I'll hit you up for next year's supply. Mike

    Fuel additives?

    Wish I could find it more easily around here. The absolute quietest I've ever heard my truck run was the one time I found B20 at the pump. I was amazed how much quieter it was, actually. Mike

    I think you may have added one too many zeroes to your EGT figures, but congrats otherwise! Mike

    Fuel additives?

    Someone will inevitably point you to this study, so I'll beat 'em to the chase: http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/76-speciality-forums/64-maintenance-fluids/177728-lubricity-additive-study-results.html I use Stanadyne Performance formula. A case of 12 runs about $75 on Amazon and lasts me...

    Facet/Duralift filter -- waterblock???

    It's a strainer, and not really a filter. Definitely isn't a water separator and isn't a good enough filter to rely on it alone.

    LMC headlight relay kit, replacement relays

    I just bought a couple extra relays from LMC and threw them in the glove box. Knock on wood, I've head the harness installed for a couple years now without any issues. Mike

    Location of Temperature Switch

    OK, sure. Figured you wanted the two locations most commonly used for aftermarket temp gauges. Wasn't going to get technical on terms. Mike

    Location of Temperature Switch

    Depends on which one you're talking about. There are two, one that runs the gauge on your dash, and another that turns on an idiot light if it gets too hot. The former is located just above the water pump in the timing cover, driver side. The latter is in the driver side head, front corner. Mike

    Used Champion 3-row radiator (CC1165)

    I really prefer not to ship this. It's not a 'lazy' thing so much as this brand doesn't exactly enjoy the best rep for their packaging and all I have to ship it in is the box the new one came in. I'd hate for someone to receive damaged goods from me. Then again, I guess I COULD go hunting for...

    glow plug harness design?

    Positive on that PN? I just found (and bought) a NOS part on eBay using that PN, but some googling is telling me that the PN you gave won't work for our trucks. See here: http://international4700parts.com/products/?view=product&product_id=9 Hopefully I didn't just waste $$$ on this. Not...

    glow plug harness design?

    Somewhat OT, but I always wondered if anyone would be interested in making a little bit of side $$$ by fabbing up GP harnesses and selling them. Seriously, if someone were to fab up a good harness to use with the OEM system(s) with quality materials and good quality connections (solder...

    Used Champion 3-row radiator (CC1165)

    Wow. Seriously, folks? Come on. This thing is about 2 weeks from being junked due to lack fo space in the garage. Silly offers accepted. Mike

    Engine Temp gauge fluctuations

    Wow, that's impressive! I've tapped into the low 230s with a lot less load than that. Hopefully the new 4-row radiator will fix that. Mike

    Bump. Make offers. Hate to throw away perfectly good stuff. Mike

    Engine Temp gauge fluctuations

    Tough to say. Any chance you can give it a bit of a workout before then and see what kind of temps you get? Probably fine, though. Mike

    Engine Temp gauge fluctuations

    First off, congrats on the install. I have the sensor for my Autometer gauge (electric w/ digital readout) in the same port as yours. My truck runs a bit cooler than yours, but not by much. On flat surfaces and at low/city speeds I run about 195°±5°F, and on the freeway and/or up longer...

    Engine Temp gauge fluctuations

    The two sensors are in close proximity to one another (actually connect on the same harness IIRC), but the one in the head is the sensor for the CHECK ENGINE light. My computer won't let me post a direct link, but if you Google 'idi temp sensor' and look at the first pic (red engine), it...

    Engine Temp gauge fluctuations

    Should be, but another option that many of us use (myself included) is to install it where the 'OVERTEMP' switch is. There are two coolant temp sensors/switches in the system. One controls your gauge, the other turns on the 'CHECK ENGINE' light if you start running too hot. Use the second one...

    Champion aluminum radiator specifications, including comparison to OEM

    Call them. The website said the same thing about availability when I was ready to order, but when I called they said they had about 6 on hand. Mike

    Champion aluminum radiator specifications, including comparison to OEM

    Dunno about that. A group buy maybe, but my experience with automotive forums in general is that sponsors aren't allowed to be as heavily scrutinized as any other vendor. Until these guys can get their quality issues figured out (mostly related to shipping damage), I wouldn't want to give them...

    FYI, the 'from' address on that box is Champion's distribution facility. All the eBay vendors are just drop-shipping from there. Mike
