    Generally speaking where is the correct spot to hook into the cooling water for cab heat and for water filters
    I’ve seen about every possible combination
    Just wondering if there’s a by the book correct way…..it’s a w900 daycab but I would think it’s not really to important what it’s in

    I agree with about any way except pulling out of between 5&6 for the heater core.

    I hope that makes sense

    that’s as wrong as 2 boys fornicating. I can’t say I have scientific evidence but I have had countless folks score a piston after turning their hot water on first time of the year plumbed like that. So it’s more superstition than obvious fact. But i believe that will make one cavitate and get number 6 every time. Now this ol truck has always got on well with it. But I keep that in mind and don’t run it hard either. I bought it this way and just haven’t changed it
