Picked up my radiator today. For once something on my truck was in good shape. He cleaned, pressure tested, and painted it. Said it had many years left of life in it.

mine leaked like a sieve. funny thing is the only thing I can see wrong is most of the solder on the header plates disintegrated.

it's a wonder they didn't start using the crappy rads with the plastic tanks crimped on. we couldn't believe it when the tractor trailers started coming into the IH dealer I worked at with that junk.

I installed a 1993 12V Cummins into a 1973 Dodge D200. Lots still to do, however. The devil is in the details, as they say.

Today I got my fresh rad, rad hoses, waterpump and tstat installed. Also painted some engine parts while I had them off. One day the whole engine will be cummins beige.

Picked up a trailer from a customer of mine. Asked me to fix the marker light he ripped off of it the other day.

Broke down in the dodge today.
Yes, I admit, the old girl let me down....
NOT !
The battery is 5 years and 6 days old, and crapped out in my customer's driveway. I went there to pick up waste materials from yesterday. Left the parking lights on (like I have for the last 5 years) for a few minutes while I loaded up the crapola.
Dead battery....
Oh well,
Customer drove me home, picked up my other truck, put the battery charger on it, on boost, and she fired right up...
GOD, do I love this truck, or what ?????
I also put my sand bag ballast cages in as well. Winter is around the corner according to Oliver, although I have yet to receive any pictures of it.....
