And the Rad Mod V2, which is the ONLY known cure for the overheating LLY.

"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, .
