    Never overheat again?

    I don't have a 6.5 anymore so pictures are out. Not a big deal to replace. All you need to do is flush the engine, rad and heater core with lots of fresh water. Blow out any excess. Fill with Evans and block the rad with cardboard or what ever. Leave the rad cap off or on the first notch. Drive...

    Never overheat again?

    We have been selling Evans coolant for 7 years and use it ourselves. When we had the 6.5TD it worked well. You don't need a special water pump. As long as the truck has got a clean coolant system you will not have any issues with it. The only thin I recommend is replace your thermostats with...

    Special Calibration Fan Clutch Direct bolt on unit fits all 6.5 with serpentine (single) belt drive and 4 stud mounting configuration. Requires blade change on all pre 1997 vehicles. "It has come to my attention that there are other suppliers representing OE fan clutches as 180° or similar...

    Oil cooler leak

    My kit comes with all fittings needed no matter what year block you have. Also fits 2 and 4 wheel drive. Clamps to hold the lines so they don't rub. Plus plenty of years experience with these kits and 6.5TD's. We provide these kits to Heath and Peninsular. Always plenty in stock. Greg

    Oil cooler lines: recomendations

    You are correct, but the reason for the cooler is fittings. The OEM fittings are no longer available and using adapters is expensive and messing. Replacing the cooler so we can use standard flare fittings is the way to go. If lines ever do fail and you have your kit then yes you could buy lines...

    Oil cooler lines: recomendations

    The kit we have is a direct replacement for the OEM. Cooler is made in Canada with the same number of plates and lines in the US. Comes with all fittings so know matter what block you have you will have the correct fittings. Our experience in 6.5 coolers is unsurpassed with well over 700 kits...

    Oil cooler lines: recomendations

    Water temp is not and indication of oil temp. When I had my 6.5 I had and oil temp sensor in the pan. When pulling hard it would jump to 275* right away.Empty would be close to water temp or a bit lower. Synthetic or not I would not run one without a cooler while towing. As for Peninsular the...

    Walbro FRB-5 guys

    My supplier just got back with about the 660 \Racor and they run $140 now, so I was close. That can be had with 2, 10 or 30 micron filter. Greg

    Walbro FRB-5 guys

    IMHO Racor is the best. They are the only ones that make a true water separator. Their media will rejct water. Racor is all you will see in marine use. I have not bought any complete Racor filters in awhile. But for the replacement R60 S, T or P we charge $26.25. As far as the 400 series goes...

    Double flare for this application is not really needed. Single will work fine. Greg

    Walbro FRB-5 guys

    Stainless braided Teflon is around $3.50 a foot. Would have to check on fittings. I would recommend using a flare fitting on both ends. Its not recommended to use hose barbs and hose clamps. If using a Walbro all you would need is a 1/4npt X 3/8 jic 90 on the discharge unless you lay it on its...

    The OE fittings are whats called Tube-O fitting. I can get the fitting however you have to buy so many to make it reasonable that I can't see selling that many. Greg.
