Good to know, is there a coolant drain in the oil cooler on an lly?
I'm 99% sure there is a coolant drain on the oil cooler in an lbz.. Had one leaking there a month or so ago..
But I've slept and drank a little since then...

What ratio? I have simple green and water in it now. The radiator shop I bought from today told me they don't recommend chemical flushes, just regular detergents.
How long do you guys think I'll be ok running tap water in the cooling system? I drained and filled with water and 1 qt simple green 3 times today and was still getting oil droplets in the surge tank. I switched over to 1 cup of tide and did that twice, decided to leave it in for a few days and let it circulate as I drive to work and such.
On the plus side, I can knock out a full drain and fill, including the block plugs, in about 30 minutes now :roflmao:

When 6.0 p.s. oil coolers fail we flush those things for days with simple green/tap water. I've even tried purple power in a few. That shit never seems to fully go away. Yours isn't as bad as they are so hopefully you get yours clean eventually.

Yeah the water itself I'm not worried about, just tap vs distilled and whatever kind of deposits that tap water leaves.
I've always run a 50/50 ratio or less. On my KTMs, its been 50/50. With my tractor, I used 33/67.
I can't remember what I used on the dmax. Probably 1 gallon to whatever filled it up.
Just make sure to rinse it well. Simple Green and White Vinegar are both biodegradable, so you should be good to dump, drain and fill with water until the smell goes away.
It all depends on how hard your water is. I'd avoid it if you have a bunch of dissolved solids in your water.
It's in the front of the pan yeah. Working fine so far, no issues. I'll get some installed pics when I get home.
Thanks guys
I ordered some new injector hold down bolts, I think I'm pushing some air past the copper seats at higher boost levels. Not going to go crazy til those are installed, but I will say I can break the tires loose at 50 mph now :woott:
Mark, your tunes are awesome so farVery clean! Thank you!
Hope you got some billet hold downs and stud kit, your going to need them, lol! Glad you like the tuning and let me know if you need anything else!:thumb:
OOoh I hope the new bolts will fix the issue, I'm tired of spending money on this thing :roflmao:
