Yes, I had right at $1000 in 8 probes and gauge. Cheap insurance at twice the price. I couldn’t find anywhere else that offered one gauge that would display at least 6 egt’s. I had a Corsa but those are a PITA. And they offer probes with extended cables.

We had hoods but we evolved and started to haul freight instead of hood and wheelbase.

Exactly, why I put bags on my truck, I know it's overloaded, but it looks fine, and I use all the chains/straps I can!

Why would you want to? You would be better served to give it it's own cooling circuit to make it more efficient.

Yes, cut the end off the coolant diverter solenoid and it will screw into one of the water passages in the block behind where the cooler used to be. The circuit has to be complete and you can’t just the magnet off the valve because it will burn out after a while.

Because it’s only purpose is to heat the coolant and/or leak. And it’s cleaner.Click the image to open in full size.

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.
