Diesel cooling options and ideas

[GladiatorPilot23]

Warning using Redline Water Weter. It is not compatible with OEM coolant. It left some brown oily residence from the silicone in it. Thank fully it is not harmful and now is a good time to switch to the Zerex HD https://shop.valvolineglobal.com/pr...Ajw3xckWNe_Ds0iMXLXWmZPVJgHRoqWtciqV6JP31i7Ao

It shows 10years or 1M miles hehe. I use Acustrip to test PH and the OEM coolant has been shown to turn acidic and drop to 7PH and below in a short period of time and use.

Something of interest is that use deionized water rather then distilled water. After looking into it, distilled water can leach and break down metals. I did have a DI wash with carbon filter in my garage for washing cars. That would be easy to use for a flush.

Im going to use Amsoil Boost Cool as well. It says it can pull heat from metal surfaces but also warm up faster?

7 pH is neutral. Anything below is acidity. Anything above is base ( caustic).

Used to used demin water at the power plant to wash vehicles with. No spots.

Yes but when you see 7PH you change it before seeing 6.9PH. In fact it is even more prudent to do it at 7.5PH.

Had 2 1978 TransAm's. First one black on black with Hurst t tops and an auto. Second one was red, no t tops and a 4 speed. Both had the WS6 handling package. The red one had the first generation of 4 wheel disc brakes.

I know they don't do anything, but they look good! I had already cut out the rubicon vents so these were about 20 minutes or so to install. It was on the xmas list from the Mrs

S&B?

S&B?

I was looking at the picture and it does have the S&B logo on it.

They do look pretty nice but I recall some say it didn't stop overheating under high loads up mountains. One other issue is that I would block these from the inside until full summer temps. You lose warm up times and efficiency which will use up fuel in the cold. It would be so nice if it had a temp sensor and a grill shutter. That would be next level!

S&B?

Yes S&B. For my area warm up isn’t a big issue but will put the plugs in when we are up in Mammoth over the weekend just to keep it warm - good tip. Shutters would be next level!

Somewhere in this 90+ pages it was discussed and they don’t do anything other than let heat out of the hood when low speed.

So I couldn’t help myself… had to keep playing with this..

Decided to build a larger assembly around a core that is about twice the size of the BPD unit.

All my issues are completely resolved now.

Only downside is that a magnetic block-off plate must be snapped onto the front of the unit when it is super cold out/if the vehicle is not towing/hauling a bunch of weight.

What core did you use?

So when are you going to kit them up and sell them to us?

It would end up costing too much for such a tine tiny run.. Limited bandwidth here…

Do you have files or prints for the shroud you made? Guys could send em off to their local fab shops and the cost would be on them.
