"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?
- Thread starter Hot COCOAL
- Start date
Appreciate the offer, Jesse... I'd like to do it for the know-how, but it's one of those things I'd probably do once, and forget how till next time, lol... I'll take you up on your help, tho, if it ever needs to come out again...
Dropped it off at Jones Diesel in Heath today. Scott from SDP is there building transmissions right now...
Hmm, never heard that shop name before. But you practically drove right by my house!

No way, you're just north of Heath, right? I'll be headed down first of next week to pick it up again. Relatively new shop, Nick and his dad own Jae's towing. Nick recently started doing diesel work, he's putting up a new shop for the diesel work... sells SDP and All In products...

Ah, ok. Jae's has some very nice equipment.
I'm in Frazeysburg, so east. But work in Mount Vernon so that's north, close enough.
What kind of goodies is Scott throwing at your trans?
I remember now, you had told me... don't know all that much about trannys, but from what Scott said, full billet internals save for the input/output shafts. I'll be limited to around 700ish right now with the air I got... trucks going out to SDP next summer for a custom turbo setup, and he said he'll refresh the trans and put in the billet input/output shafts for a parts only price while it's out there. Goerend R billet stator tc...

Doing a little maintenance.
Oil change
Front diff fluid change
Tranny filter change
Serpentine belt
The trucks temp gauge would hardly ever get up to normal operating temp, lately. Only time was when towing the trailer. The gauge would be fluctuating quite a bit. Was worried maybe a head gasket but the upper hose was always soft in the morning and never has gotten hot. Replaced the thermostats, refilled and road tested. The back stat definitely had the internal rubber all cracked and not looking good. This was the original stats at 166,000 miles. So far truck came right up to operating temp and stayed there. No fluctuations.:thumb:

I saw the same thing with my tstats. Just a little cracking in the gasket. I was really suprised my new tstat made that much of a difference.
I even tested them on the stove and they all seem to open the same. Probably could of just replaced the gaskets.

Haha my wife daily’s a 2011 Subaru sti 6 speed with external wastegate exhaust intake and tune. It’s 300whp right now. She drives my truck and says 10 years later it finally takes off after you floor it :rofl: here’s a video I took the other week driving the car. It’s not too bad, I would do more to it if she would let me drive it more.

Anybody know how long a DMax will run without adding coolant? My low coolant light has been on for 3 weekend I still haven't topped it up.

It leaks out every time I add it! :rofl: It seems like if you’re not working the truck its unaffected by the lack of a gallon or so of coolant.

As long as it runs, Chris, as long as it runs.....we await the "overheated the engine, time for a rebuild" thread.

Tom, it’s all good as long as the heat still blows warm air. :joker:
