Yes that's what I was talking about. I'm surprised they don't charge us more than $3.50 just to add our medical card.

Does anyone have experience with the ipd one piece steel pistons and crevice seal liners for c15 cat's? I got my 6nz a lil hot on I70 in Utah Saturday and judging from the blow by I now have its looking like the rings might have got a little warm.
When I get back home we'll be tearing it down and I guess I'm one of those guys that likes to put better parts back in. They sound like they'd be a good improvement but I can't find any threads or write ups from someone that's actually running them just a lot of mention of them.

Putting a set in a 6NZ right now. Customer brought the kit with the truck. Friend has ran them with good luck.

Any opinions on the ipd head gaskets? All the info I've ran across seems to mention using a cat head gasket instead. Which was my plan, buy the inframe kit and a cat head gasket set and Chuck the ipd gasket. But is the cat gasket actually better or is that just the pro oem guys shooting off? I've got a guy lined up to cut the counter bores and help with reassembly so now just trying to figure out exactly what else I need/want to get so I can limit the down time as much as possible.
Wish I would have just done this when I did the head gasket 6 months ago.

I like the ipd stuff for the most part. Had one gasket fail that i could never find what the issue was. Put a cat gasket in and never had an issue after. Not positive the gasket was at fault but now I stick to the cat gasket and havent had any issues. Just the gasket itself us fairly cheep. The crevice seal liners are real nice too, especially if your block is startin to get a bit crusty. The last 7cz I did I noticed the liners looked just like the crevice seal liners in o ring orientation

Cat gasket. O ring the head if you don’t want to do the gasket again in a short while.

Not it!
Truck cooling update...2 transmission coolers in front of radiator now and transmission temps never moved on gauge, running below 150*. Probably will try one cooler and see what happens. We need to reroute one of our cooler lines though, too close to the exhaust.
We washed on the radiator for about 4 hours to get it as clean as possible while we were working on the transmission coolers, and now she will get to about 220* pulling decent hills at 95K lbs. He should go over Cooper's Rock today with it and we'll know more.
What thermostat you CAT guys run? Stock 192* or something else? Since I have no idea what Cincinati put in it, we'll just swap them.
Chris

Yes stock, I tried 170’s 5-6yrs ago thinking if the water was cooler at the bottom of the hill it would be cooler at the top. Does the exact opposite.

I figured that. I'll get a set of 192's and we'll swap them out sometime.
I'm also going to make him run my ScanGauge a few days and compare ECM temperature readings to his gauges. I know you said they're not always accurate.
Thanks.

Chris, are those scan gauges worth the money?

Your dash IS ecm temps. The dash of that truck is reading off the j1939 datalink off the engine. They don’t have their own sensors except for trans/axles and oil temp if you have one.

Eh, handy to have one, but I really just use it for a Speedometer in the FL80 since the factory one quit. I have Insite for Cummins, and now CAT ET so I don't use it for any diagnostic really. Neat to watch fuel economy in the M2 with the Mercedes too.

Copy. Never looked to see if these were electronic or manual gauges...never cared before now. Nevermind that idea then.

Question about ELD. We had a call yesterday from someone involved in a DOT traffic stop (not sure if it was the officer or not) asking about the year of the engine. The ESN showed a production date of 99.
Does the law or memorandum or whatever state engine or chassis?
