Niiice, that's an option I can shoot for.

Will probably give me the necessary room to cut out my plastic-feeling steering hose as well when I yank out the old radiator.

Sucks I have to replace the whole radiator just because of that stupid nipple.

Does the TYC have a threaded fitting for the coolant bypass hose? Looks like it.

 

No it has a regular nipple. The only threaded part is the fan shroud part.

Unfortunately the Liland Global all aluminum one is out of stock, but thats also a great option and super sturdy

 

Wait is this a different girl?

 

No

 

My life is a shit show

 

If your injectors are good I don't see much concern. My 6.0 had a ton of stiction so if I didn't get the oil temp up to 100 when it was below 40deg ambient they'd stick open and I'd be blowing white smoke til it warmed up. Good ol HEUI problems

 

t yet?

 

She'll have a ring before that happens

 

how's the radiator designed? You prob know that some rad shops can replace the top/bottom if the core is in good shape

 

I mean seeing all the Jeep parts for sale is giving FOMO

 

Oh my.

So far so good. Im still learning the diesel quirks I guess.

 

Funny you mentioned that since @BartMaster1234 and I were talking about that earlier.

Think it's just safer to replace it just based on unknown age of said radiator.

The damaged part is the nipple on the upper plastic end tank.

 

@01x4

It's done, for now

 

Milwaukee has best variety Imo. You won’t cringe at the $300 if you had a rusty beater. That milwaukee should be called the rust buster.

 

Geez bro. Looks like some Tron shit!

 

Just one of many successful ways to procrastinate about other shit

 

Powdercoat oven is making progress. Just need to sheet metal over the gaps, and put the heating element and doors back on.

 

looks like @Abeyancer mad scientist shit.

 

Lol! It's just a normal GE Monogram kitchen double oven from the mid-2000's. I cut the middles out to make one giant oven.
