    Fan / Clutch Upgrade

    As Shiker said, clean the stack. That's the coolers stacked in front of each other IN FRONT OF the radiator. Leaves, bugs, animal hair, etc. forms a mat between them blocking air flow. I remove the grille, oil cooler, trans cooler, and A/C condenser. Remove the debris with gloves! I prefer...

    Oil pump?

    :blackalien::greyalien::astronaut: it's aliens. We used to call 'em gremlins or Murphy's... I bought a 5 ton Dodge from a farmer with a rebuilt Pentastar engine and poor intermittent OP. Dropped the pan and found the pickup screen mostly full of pieces of RTV that squeezed out and dislodged...

    Merry Xmas Me!

    Good healing, my friend. You get that fish in Baja? Looks like one that cut and ran on me. Been doing Baja since '70something. Wheelchairs can be fun, by the way. Crutches suck. They helped with my lower back, though.

    New Hummer H1s Are Once Again Coming From Detroit with a 6.5

    $150K puts it in the stratosphere. It might as well be made of unobtainium. Interesting, though. I wonder how much more for the turret option with the option of a Ma /deuce or a 50cal. Mabye if I discover diamonds while digging my well...

    Spraying steering fluid out the pump, still.

    DANGER indeed, Will. My '76 IH had a tiny split develop on the high pressure PS line that sprayed onto the exhaust manifold; flamethrower. Fixed it with a new hose and heat shield. Glad I always keep fire extinguishers in all my vehicles. I miss that truck, never left me stuck. 10mpg uphill or...

    CS-144 Alternator conversion bracket - fitted to 95 6.5

    my $0.02; the original OEM cs130 lasted 22 years, PO may have had it rebuilt. I had it "rebuilt" by a recommended shop, lasted 2 weeks. Kept taking it back under warranty until the tech put in a 144 just to get rid of me. That one worked great for 2 months, died, then I got a new Delco Remy 130...

    Waterless Coolant

    Two Winter trips to Nova Scotia that I remember. Overnights in motels below 0° . Evans gave no troubles in the AM start/warmups. FWIW I prefer Evan...Williams to Jack Daniels.

    Waterless Coolant

    http://www.norosion.com/evanstest.htm I Still have the Evans running, but I was surfing for any competitor that would be cheaper to work with and found this. Not very encouraging but they use pressurized systems. I $tay with Evans for now. The Burb just takes so darn much coolant though.

    A Better Oil Catch Can. Maybe?

    JB Weld burned off on my '67 slant six cast iron exhaust manifold in less than a day, back when it was my daily driver. It was a good excuse to get headers. Back on track; Did I mention the oil catch system I made reduces coil consumption, can hold 1 liter, and I empty it when I change oil...
