      I couldn't post or reply to anything for a couple days. It's working for me now obviously.  Got trip report posted in another post.

      Ordered a larger radiator by AFE through Summit. 3 core, 2 1/4 thick or wide depending how you like your dimensions labeled. Also got the severe duty snowplow fan clutch. What I've read is it has a more solid viscous engagement to the fan and turns it harder moving more air than the standard fan. Unlike the popular 7.3 fan conversion, this fan plugs into the wireharness and works with the engine computer causing no codes.

      Those items won't be here for a couple weeks, so until then, I travel with my INNOVA 5610 scanner connected and keep a close eye on temperatures.

      That's where the truck update is now. Sure, I've put a couple thousand and a bunch of hours into fixing the truck up. Still far and away cheaper than a newer truck plus no DEF or regen crap to deal with. With only 80000 miles on the truck, I'm pretty sure I'll have it a long glorious time.
