"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?
- Thread starter Hot COCOAL
- Start date
Attended a class to avoid a ticket and points on my license, stopped by my brother's house to pick up a light and BS for bit. Outside temperature was 112 degrees and expected to reach 117 by 5 PM, after exiting the freeway I now know my fan clutch still works and the transmission stayed a tick under 200 with the new cooler...

You must really enjoy working on that truck!!
Thats ~150k miles worth of road dirt/grimeon/bugs etc those..
Bout 3 hours
Got to put magnetic on the crossman trailer.. lost 2 completely other 2 are pulling 2.5-3 amps between themselves.... should be 12-16A @13.8V
Then load Monday for Alabama
That's why I have 1/4" galvanized mesh on the grill and 1/8" fiberglass screen in front of ac coil. Easier to clean than that damn rad.
Got any pictures handy? Thought about building something thar can slide in between cac and rad.. radiator was the worst of the 3
gray fiberglass screen just in front of radiator.
Tried black plastic screen in front of grill on other truck and it just restricts too much air. Then tried this after removing and cleaning out the radiator. Much better. Its easier just to remove the screen when it fills with bugs than it is pulling the radiator gummed up.
That small screen would probably block to much airflow for Adam.
I have 1/4" galvanized screen on the front of my truck. It's worked great but I don't know how much it would help with the kind of mileage Adam puts on his truck. I did it more to keep rocks from dinging up my fins.

I picked up some of this stuff.. put it in front of a 36" barrel fan, advertised at ~8500cfm.. and it not only pulled the fan speed down, air flow out it dropped drastically $13.00
The stuff in your grill would be the smallest id go.. which is bigger than the radiator.. somewhere i sucked up an animal or 2 for the amount of hair i washed out of the radiator.l ol
When the fan is on (howling) constantly i notice 1-2mpg drop

Swapping turbo stuff, the compressor wheels are the same design, but the FMW is 5 Grams heavily. I am hoping that the cover flows better, from a visual stand point it looks to flow way better. I hope it's not a waste of money, but I have a feeling that the turbine is the real benefit.
