I think it's the best avenue. Strip a section of the insulation and mount it right under one of the Cowl vents.
Install one of the Cowl vent kits that makes a ram air scoop.
Run the hoses back and down the firewall so it lifts easy with no interference.
This would give active cooling to a...
4.5" Evo Fusion (front coilovers, rear springs) on Diesel using Evo's diesel springs ... front sits super low, back is raked by 2.5". This is with their 200/400 springs and the preload all the way (which is crazy). Anyone run in to this?
The majority of complaints center around people towing up steep inclines with greater than 3000lbs.
We've seen no changes from engine bay cooling changes including:
Removing the Hood
Altering the hood (scoops, louvers, etc)
Altering inner fenders
Altering the grill
Changing out the intake
We...
Anyone on a 3.5-5" lift and done a set of airlift springs on the rear? Since the spring is so much taller, I've been thinking ... what if you could stack them? 1 nozzle up, the other down? Anyone ever tried this to see if it works?
So, let's consider that a standard oil cooler design could do 10g a minute. But we don't have that right now.
Now, a bypass design can cool, let's say 2g per minute. MUCH less. But, the 3.0 EcoDiesel is a small Diesel engine ... it has a 2g oil capacity, right?
So, if a bypass filter can...
According to InsaneDiesel, they are seeing 1.2-2 gallons per minute through it. More over, they indicated that by locating the can and hoses in front of the radiator, they saw over 20 degrees of reduction on engine temps as a result, without a cooler.
Can you elaborate on what they didn't...
Got it.
So, let's cover this off .. you take this kit:

Then you need to make a custom bracket to hold the can.
Then, you take new hoses/fittings and extend it through something like this...
I spoke to Insane Diesel on friday and they said they didn't know why there were people thinking they would have a solution. They said they only specialize in bypass oil filtration systems. Their systems do help cool oil but not at the level of an after market oil cooler would. Therefore, their...
In the middle of the build now. Suspension and Tons are in. Waiting on the Redneck Ram tapped box and ram to arrive and then it goes in WITH the Apex kit. 1 more week and I should have the rig ready to roll out of the shop.
Good enough. Having a company in the beta testing stage this year is *something*. Means we could see a product by Q2 next year thats production ready and tested.
Thank you for sharing the video. On the stuff we'll do, it'll do just fine it looks like. I've already got good sliders, but it looks like I should get a full skid under the bottom before we head out to the harder stuff.
So, I'm an experienced crawler but I needed to build something a bit more family friendly.
I'm wrapping up a JT on Tons & 40s build, but keeping the bed stock length for storage. Next time we go out for trips to Moab/Rubicon/CO/etc I'm concerned about how difficult the overhang/departure angle...
Another thread on this topic on the forum indicates Bulletproof Diesel out of AZ is working on an oil cooler now with a possible September release date.
Just following this through to a consensus ... am I right if I say the following:
Changes such as relocating horns, adding scoops, adding a mesh grill, etc offer no major reward (if any).
The only long-term fix we can expect is an oil cooler to be released by someone.
Using the Tazer and...
It's too bad. They also told me that 4 months isn't a realistic number for how far out they are on getting more shocks. They wait list is so long they may not have shocks for 8 months.
Now I'm hunting for someone with the lift kit installed so I can have them measure the shock body length, and...
