Truckers, lets see your rigs!

While I'm curious how the outlet elbow works, I would still keep it and run its own heat exchanger and pump.

Is this the one you posted the charge air Temps from? The ~450° is consistent with what I was trained on. The liquid cooler dropped Temps to just above coolant temp from what I remember. Target manifold inlet temp is always 100 degrees for emissions engines. I don't know why that is the magic number.
Intake temps before cooler removal was 130's on a hard pull on a 90*day and water temps would easily be 225*. After the removal, intake temps are in the 145* range on the same grade and coolant rarely sees much over 200* and this is on my daycab that's 800hp. If a truck that’s 300hp over stock doesn’t need it I can’t see how 500hp needs it. I have found zero downfall to removing the "cooler". On the 5EK in the pic the intake temp is 136* with NO cooler and a less than ideal factory CAC. It would be a huge PITA to add a second radiator and electric pump to fix a non existent issue.

My turbo outlet temp was 471* and the Duralite cooled it to 113*, not sure how you could improve that.

It's funny you posted that because I was curious how interstage would work after I read the post.

130° is reasonable.

I suppose we will just have to disagree on the usefulness of the precooler.

Well forget your training and actually take one off and see the dramatic drop in coolant temps and you’ll see how useful they are.

PDI has or at least had one with a 36” sleeper and pulled their show trailer. I used to have a pic. That sleeper kills that one.

Sounds useful for warm up and cold weather running other than that useless

I can have the solenoid deleted in the file, but I wasn't gonna do away with the Iva's and piston swap yet. Although it looks like the head has to come off now. So that may be in its future now

How'd you keep the bare turbo housings soo rust free? Beautiful work though.

You might want to try it because the same people that taught your classes are probably the same that think things like the head relief grooves are a good idea.

Like most things the real world proves otherwise.

Have to ask, when people ask what you do for a living do you refer to yourself as a “Tech”

You don’t have to put it in the block. It just looks better than being tied to the harness.

You have to know the kid who drives this. He can polish the tanks until they leak.

I like hearing that kind of stuff honestly. People like Rick on here need to exist. That is trucking to me. Dad would spend his entire sunday polishing tanks and wheels. He could pay people to do it and it would have been wayyy easier but he enjoyed it. The second people like him are gone trucking will have been 100% commercialized/corporate to the point of no turning back IMO.

Yesus, healer, spirit talker. Anything but a truck driver typically.

I left it be at disagreement and you keep taking stabs. Why?
