Out of respect for folks on this forum I need to add an addendum to this post. When I first posted this ad, I had a local shop do an engine head replacement and install a new aluminum radiator since this rig had some periodic overheating problems. I thought this problem was fixed but after...

DetroitDiesel - thanks for the input. Definitely appreciate the extra knowledge regarding these motors as I am NOT a mechanic. It does have the HO (high output water pump) but it is a single thermostat - not the double. Thermostat was sourced from SSdiesel supply for the single stat set up...
