    Still waiting for radiator to show up.....old one is out and everything else is done...new compressor , and laundry list of little repairs........

    Checked play in both turbo shafts, and exhaust manifold for leaks or broken studs. All good....


    All evidence points to the compressor taking a dump. And filling cooling system with more air then it could vent out the pressure cap.

    If you have a SDP and your compressor is throwing all kinds of crap into the dryer (mine always did) . I'd think about going with the superseded one.....

    Mine had 3 different compressors under warrantee 5 years ago . Cat then came out with that test you had to pump so much crap in so much time.... And guess what ,their junk compressor passed that test.





    Wil update when I get it running...



    P.S. 3pm Radiator is here......yippee

    All seems well.

    Truck has run for about 3 hours . No pressure build up in cooling system.


    No leaks including the cold water kind....

    1st load Monday ..
