"aids" is the key word. He won't even sell his EOC to anyone on the west coast, because he knows it won't work in those conditions (just ask Turbobruce). He comes up with a new 'fix' every month and he has 'fixed' every system on the truck except the cooling system wonder why.....maybe it's because TxC has already come up with that solution 2 years ago and everyone who has installed it is 100% satified. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/sho...25&postcount=4

Uh... Maybe its me, but why not throw in a low temp thermostat and a bigger Aluminum 4 or 5 core radiator? Maybe a pusher fan to help the puller flow some more air? That seems like it would be the most sensible thing to do, but I guess old hot-rodding tricks are to plain Jane for a guy with a fancy computer.

OOOOooohhh, if it were that easy. Trust me, if you can think of a 'cure' it was tried without success, except adding more cooling by puting a second radiator inline with the first and moving it to an area out of the hot stack.

Wow... Never realized there was that much of a problem with them. Glad my buddy didn't talk me into one. Actually I never even considered it, but he kept trying to change my thinking. I'll bet if he pulled half the loads I do he'd burn up his engine, .

This only happens on the '04.5 and '05 LLY. The '06 LLY, LBZ and LMM all have corrections to them to keep them from overheating. *Some* LBZ guys can still make their trucks hotter than wanted and have added the V2 to keep their truck's temps in check.

Most will never pull a load big enough to make their's overheat, but the one's that do cry like a baby when they see those temps rise uncontrolably esspecially when they swore up and down their's did not overheat.

Well all I know is my old skool 12V will pull a 20K lb trailer all day long and the clutch fan is only on maybe 25% of the time, and it still doesn't get too hot. If I'm in stop and go traffic the fan has to run 100% of the time to keep things cool, but thats typical for towing heavy in traffic. My buddy tried to sell me on an '05 at the time, glad I never considered it.

It's funny, overheating LLYs are coming out of the woodwork right now, with a the sentence- 'I just bought this used truck and hooked it up to my trailer......it overheats'.

If you would of bought his and had a problem, the V2 will squish it. I very rarely hear my fan anymore, much less see the guage move.

Is it a timing box? Boost fooler? What does it do to keep the engine so much cooler?

a bunch of stuff, but i havent looked into it, i dont have that problem
