Alright guys. 3 months ago I installed a 366 on the truck. I got some line and rerouted the coolant for the factory turbo so that it just makes a continuous loop. Problem is I have tried numerous hoses and attempts and I cannot get this loop to quit seeping coolant :mad:. In all my looking at this point I figure my best option is either purchasing this plug from Fleece http://fleeceperformance.com/hard-parts/duramax-turbo-thermostat-delete-plug.html or to purchase this one from Dirty Hooker http://dirtyhookerdiesel.com/i-14902502-dhd-007-0357-brass-turbo-coolant-thermostat-delete-plug.html

If you have used these how did they work for you? Its obviously pretty straight forward as for an install of the part, but my real question is what are you guys doing to block or remove the end. If I can id like to remove this completely.

Feel free to hammer me with questions or opinions. Thank you gents

I bought mine form Merchant back in the day I think. removed the top part on your radiator hard line, then for the bottom line I just used a piece of heater hose with a bolt in the end with a hose clamp. was fine for me.

Is it even possible to remove the other half? I tried to trace it down the front of the engine but cant tell if its a hard line all the way to the waterpump area or what, but that is a dang goo idea. Thanks Brian
