anyone reached out to bullet proof in awhile on radiator progress? Supposedly working on one.
I reached out to them last week. Still waiting on an update.
Hell.....my truck is about half way through it's service life by now, so I may never see anything come to production before it's time to replace it?
I'm just about at 60k miles now at 26 months. I expect to be close to 70 by 36 months. I would hope the diesel has a 250 to 300k miles expectancy.
did you remove all the insulation around the motor?
I can tell you that gearing doesn't fix the issue but it does make the truck more drivable overall. Earlier in the thread we addressed that it takes XXX HP to maintain XX speed at a XX load. The RPM where the HP occurs doesn't really matter much and the trans has gears close enough together to take care of that small 10-20% change.
That kind of service life is super optimistic. I am planning on the truck being in the dumpster by 125K, but I hope it's much better than that!
Pull all that crap, and go naked
. i think it helps trap heat and gives premature derates. My thinking is getting rid of all that stuff helps keep heat off all the electronics and sensors and lets them actually monitor what they are suppose to with out give false heat soak readings.
I cut my vents open and made them functional, i also removed the sealing gasket at the back of the hood and the cowl to allow air to escape.
no worries abotu the water. I offset the hood vent holes and the holes in the insualtion, water hits the back of the insulations and sheds around the engine like a umbrella.
