Few thoughts :diabolical1 date=1433425370 said:Temp shoots up to around 210 on the highway if I'm on it more then a couple minutes around 50 mph... before I chicken out to see where it stops.. with a 27 inch vw rad I was expecting it to keep cool.. Maybe I have a air bubble somewhere? Think I might try one of my dual pass RX-7 oil coolers in addition to the water cooler.. but then I may have to notch the frame rail for the filter to clear or get a relocation kit.
What would be the downside of plugging the bypass and removing the Tstat? (specific to warm climates)Newfie-Zuk date=1433786054 said:50-50 mix is about the best , it will allow a higher operating temperature without overheating the engine , since there is less water content ... [approve]
Since it is only heating up during high load , I would guess that a lower thermostat would bring you temps down ...
My guess would be : Small amount of air in the system , or the thermostat is opening to late ...
I got the GPS speedo from speedhuts website. You're on the right track. I have not however installed it yet as I'm still going back and forth on the design of the dash im putting in.ToeCutter date=1434901425 said:looks good, where did you get your gps speedo. im looking at gauges including a gps speedo from speed hut .
It would really depend on the outside temperature , like already mentioned , it may not warm up ? Remember the diesels do need to be a certain temperature to operate correctly ...ShadE date=1434850802 said:What would be the downside of plugging the bypass and removing the Tstat?

I forgot to address this question. I have access to an Amada laser table, a plasma table, and various sheet metal equipment. I have more fun laser cut pieces in the works..Spokerider date=1449017459 said:Those are fine looking alignment bars that you made. Do you have access to a water jet or plasma bench?
Now might be a good time to do the Sj410 brake backing plate mod, if you're wanting to swap axles easily and without having to pull the backing plate / disconnect brake lines to do so. Yes, its more work and more $$........easy for me to suggest it, lol.
That is a kind offer thank you.diabolical1 date=1449247279 said:I forgot to address this question. I have access to an Amada laser table, a plasma table, and various sheet metal equipment. I have more fun laser cut pieces in the works..
Also if anyone sees something of mine they may want to buy, I can probably work something out with you, although doing it over private message would be best or i may need to create a post in the for sale section? If you have something already that you would like an improved version of, if it's within my means, you could ship it to me and I could reverse engineer it and improve it/modify to your liking. Custom products is pretty much what I do for a living as a design engineer.
