    If you can change the cooler then no problem. Keep an eye on the guages and dont run up the hills.

    He got stuck behind a rolled over big rig on US93, so still isn't here yet!
    No idea if I can run down to Ca and drop my trl, then b/t back up here for his load, as the A/hole guy who is supposed to be our "24hr contact" isnt answering his fone....

    nice, love the delays. I second the simple green as to some of the higher priced flushing agents, almost forgot about using it, cascade use to be best but it aint worth a crap anymore, hope all goes well.

    Can you drop trailer right before scale or exit right after scale? Your oversized and over weight loads or just over weight?

    My load is legal weight, but the 53' trailer is stretched out, am 12' wide and 14'2" tall. 84' overall length.
    The generator is 15'7" tall, same length and width, and is grossing @115k lbs on his truck. So would probably gross me at @108k lbs.

    I use the Purple Power in my degreaser in my shop, good stuff without being too harsh.

    Purple is great for all kinds of cleaning, as you said it is not aggressive and does the job.

    Totally off topic, but that is all I use when building motors, along with a pressure washer with nothing but water running though it.
    Some engine parts from the motors I build... Before and after some PP lovin'...

    I wouldn't tackle that job in a T/S. All you need is a broken bolt to turn it into a nightmare. I'd run it and deliver the load. At least then you won't be worrying about the load being delivered on time. A lot of times oil coolers leak for a long time before the driver notices the coolant getting oily.
