Temperature wise I haven't seen more than 190 degrees. It takes 170 for my edge juice with attitude to come alive and I haven't seen much more over that. Last summer I could barely get it to 180 and I can hit that in no time now.

 

What are the chances you rem the part numbers, is yours an lb7, what year? Thanks for the info!!!

 

Don't remember the part number right off hand. You'd just have to call a parts store and find out. Mine is a 01 lb7. Took about 30 minutes to do the job. Just make sure you put coolant back in.

 

Did you loose a lot or you drained it lower than therms so it didn't get everywhere....sorry to keep dragging this out!!!

 

No problem. Glad to help out. I just drained it out low enough so it was underneath the t stats so it wouldn't make to much of a mess. Loosen the bleeder screw on the top of the housing before you do anything to let the air out.

 

Last question...where did u drain it from..bottom of radiator? And just collected to re use?

 

Drained it from radiator drain plug. Put some new in when I got finished cause the only drain pan I had was for oil. And honestly I find most of my stuff out on YouTube. I'm sure there is a bunch of guys here that would crucify me for saying that but YouTube has been a life saver for me with my vehicles.

 

I love YouTube for that reason....swapped stats out and I could smoke a pig in there now....damn it's hot...15-20 min and it was done. Thanks for the help, I'm pretty mechanically inclined but diesels as much as I love mine scare the hell out of me!! Thanks again!!!

 

No problem man. Maybe one of these days you can return the favor. Glad your heat is working good Now
