Now you tell me!! I will remember for the next stack I do.

OK, latest update. The truck is running, no leaks and the temps seem great but I haven't towed the trailer yet. I cleaned the stack after I separated the IC and the Rad using a pressure washer for the final cleaning. I couldn't get the fin areas clean enough with just house water pressure. I...

Yes I know, Trying to get back to being a regular here. In the process of dealing with a cooling problem on my LBZ.

I hear that the magic number not to exceed is 240*F.

So, I just received the 3rd Mishimoto today and it is also damaged. So, I am sending it back and getting a refund. Having completely done everything myself you are absolutely correct on your analysis Therm. I have my new Hayden 2886 radiator clutch and I will be cleaning everything to like new...

Are you happy with the Mishimoto radiator?? I have two delivered so far and between the weak way Mishimoto packs them and the UPS manhandles them they both have had to be returned. I know Therm doesn't like them but there are not a lot of options over stock. The third one is to be delivered...

The pic doesn't show how much the radiator is clogged. When I shine the flashlight and look a lot more is clogged. Tanner, I know you carry some pretty big loads. I don't remember you having cooling problems???

Well, I finally got the stack out today. I know I am slow so bear with me It looks like it was at least 1/2 clogged. Tomorrow I will be working on replacing the water pump and getting ready to reassemble after cleaning the cores on all three heat exchangers.

Therm, I have always kept the fan shroud installed as I understand the increased efficiency you get having it in. I am also going to replace the serpentine belt and the idler pulleys. I know all belts and pulleys are not the same. Recommendations??

Got it!! I will do it as soon as I get home. We are in Fort Worth, TX and will get home Saturday afternoon. I should have it done sometime next week. Lots of YouTube and other threads on doing it. I am excited now!!

I will disassemble and clean the "stack" and see what I get.

OK, I am ignorant, what is the stack?

I did not pull the radiator. I drained it, refilled with flush and ran it for 100 mi, drained the flush, clear water twice running about a hour each time, then fresh AF and fill. I worry about the plastic radiator cracking as they seem to be prone to doing that after 5-7 yrs.

It started early last year whenever ambient got over 80*F coolant temps start really going up while towing a 10K load. So, what I have done to date is flush the radiator, replaced the coolant, added water wetter, replaced the standard thermostats with the lower temp ones ( I used Mishimoto's)...

I have put 30K miles on the Allison and it is doing great. I added a PPE trans cooler (expensive) but it was worth it for me. It keeps the tranny temp to 20*F under ambient unloaded and equal with ambient with the trailer. I am having a cooling problem and will start a new thread for that.

Hummer 2 wheels are a direct fit in the LBZ 2500. You can also use the original caps by cutting off the little pads on the inside. It is a 17" X 8.5". It has the proper backfit for the 2500 and a 285 tire is perfect with only minor trimming of the plastic inner fender well.

SnowDrift, I am running Nitto Tera Grapplers on my 2500 and just rolled 73K miles. Size is 285/70R/17 E rated. Not the most inexpensive tire out there but, it is quiet, great traction and it isn't down to the wear bars yet. I ran BFG's for years on some of my other rigs but the TG's are what...

If I can only have one it would be "Water". But after 30 yrs in the US Navy I love coffee but am limited to two cups a day. I also love single malt scotch and wine but, my health really puts the kibosh on them. I still like cows milk and prefer it raw for breakfast but am limited to 5 oz or...

Hey Mike, being a BT your skin is probably to thick to have the needle penetrate (probably breaks off);):)

It is sad that you feel that way Bernie as I for one are interested in your views. I see the poll differently. For, against all, against some for research reasons, and against some because of medical reasons like allergic reactions. That is why we can explain in this section why or why not we...
