FYI, I posted the thread for the 2025 rally in the events page. Not sure how much traffic that gets these days. If you are interested, the important dates to remember are preferred booking by 12/15 possibly being extended to near year end if I can swing it. Details in the thread. Thanks!- laserjock

Let’s talk about egts and water temp
I love my truck. I spent a lot of time and money to get it to where it is. I’m 85% there. If I could lick this problem, I’m 95% to where I want to be. That last 5% will come later with the next project. I’ve got enough power I just can’t use it all. I’m eyeing a drop to 3.73 gears in the...- laserjock

Let’s talk about egts and water temp
I have considered it. I’m not a huge fan on these trucks. I also considered some extra vents in the fenders and through the air dam. Spent a little time looking at air/water IC’s. My buddy has a kit he hasn’t used yet. Still have the where to put the Rad issue but I’m trying to think ahead to...- laserjock

Let’s talk about egts and water temp
Possibly. I also forget that the water cooled turbo is dumping heat in the system too. I wonder if something like this would be enough to do anything as an aux rad...- laserjock

Let’s talk about egts and water temp
Thanks for the responses. Yes it’s my truck in the Sig. Radiator was a new champion when installed. Typically if I’m pulling hard I’m in 4th turning 2300-2500 rpm. I have very much considered that it still may be an air flow issue as the fan helped but like I said, didn’t quite get me...- laserjock

Let’s talk about egts and water temp
So I have a pretty well documented issue with water temps. While waiting to get my freeze plug issue resolved I’ve been kicking around a few things in my head. One of them is EGTs. Running a 110 from CDD and with my setup I can manage EGTs pretty well I think. In 4th gear climbing grade, I can...- laserjock

ISO freeze plug install tool
These plugs are different. People will tell you you can beat them in with a socket and technically you can if you know what you are doing. I do not and I really don’t enjoy pulling the driveline out to get to them to do it again.- laserjock

ISO freeze plug install tool
Need a freeze plug tool. It’s the drivers side plug behind the trans. Rather do this right instead of having to do it again. Willing to buy or rent. Thanks!- laserjock

Coolant Leak
Found it!! It really was the most logical explanation. Now the question. How to fix it. Does anyone have a freeze plug install tool they would be either willing to part with or rent/loan out? I think going back stock is probably the most logical thing to do.- laserjock

Carrier/facet pump observations
I don’t know why people hate on the facet pumps. I guess they just aren’t running enough of them. No pressure drop issues here. LOL- laserjock

Weather stripping on rear slider?
Are you looking for the rubber that holds the window in or the seals on the window glass itself? I bought the seal that holds the window in from LMC. Might try a thin foam tape on the joint where the slider goes if that’s what you are looking for.- laserjock

Coolant Leak
So I have developed a coolant leak. I am not 100% sure yet but I think it’s coming from the bellhousing area as it’s dripping on the crossover pipe. It’s a small leak. Leaves a spot on the floor after a couple days. I rolled my spare engine out and the only thing I can see that could cause a...- laserjock
