Thanks for the recap. I actuyally never had the AC on. No AC in the truck currently. Part of my problem was on the way down to Oregon, I had just flashed the stock tune back in the rig with some changes, but I didn't check the Fans on the tune. (More dumb sh!t I do.). Melted a connector for...

35's and no it doesn't lock up until 4th if I remember correctly. I have Matt Sanford tune it. You can find him on YT. Very knowledgeable. I have a few things to do to it...so I will make some changes and report back.

I had the original airbox and my tuner said it was restricting about 20% of airflow. So I pulled it. I 3D printed a box and ran that for a week or so and while it looked good in there. Still felt like it was restricting air.

Thanks. I have those fans as well. The mechanical fan moves about 4K CFM as well, so the only issue with these is that they take a lot of AMPS to run. FYI. I am in Seattle too. I am looking for an airbox. I haven't found one that I love yet.

Thanks. I ran the stock radiator too based on your advice. I also had a 160 thermostat in there with the Derale e fans. I only had issues on long mountain climbs with AC on. I assumed it was the rad so I put in this new one and eliminated the external coolers to help with airflow. Seems...

Thanks to all who have responded. Below are pics from my rig. I suspect my problem is airflow so I will change to the Derake fans that I have that are 4000cfm. I will also add back my external oil and trans cooler. The final thing will be to address the IAT to see if I can lower that...

I have brought this up here before and still have not solved it. LS Engines run hotter than the 1FZ's. I have a L92 6.2L and also had a L96 6.0 in this rig. (Don't ask why I had 2.) I live near Seattle so mountain passes are a thing when you go out. So is 80+ Degrees and tons of traffic...

Remove your front springs so you are at full bump. Then put the engine in where you want it. Much easier to see that way.

Has anyone come across a P219B? This is AFR issue in bank 2. Generally start with the wiring to the O2. Look for exhaust leaks. Look for vacuum leaks. I can’t seem to figure it out. I replaced the O2 sensor and can see it running on HPTuners. Sparks plugs look good. No coolant in the...

Which lower hose did you use? I originally bought flexible hoses from Amazon and I was warned they would leak. They do. So looking to go the same route as you.

Sorry for random question. Did you completely burp the coolant? I had similar issues originally then switched the thermostat to 160 degree. I don’t have cooling issues unless I am climbing mountain passes. It 95+ outside and on load. At this time of year I’m Seattle I barely get to 195...

I haven’t finished it. I’ll get to it soon. I ended up buying a steering column for this wheel. I may have to use the new steering column to make it work. Not sure yet.

Curious what you guys are running for exhaust? I picked up hooker manifolds 2.5”. I had a shop run 2.5” 2 in 1 out of a magnuson muffler. No cats. No resonator. Pointed down after the rear axle. Sounded great but was crazy loud. I have 2 layers of sound deader all through the cab and rear...

Thanks. It's time to change the oil. I'll pull the oil cooler. Might even try to use the factory Trans cooler. Add in a airbox and then give it a shot on these passes

Did you run an oil cooler and trans cooler? I have both in front of my condenser and thinking maybe I hook the trans cooler lines to the stock ports on the bottom of the radiator and then just run the oil cooler. And vent my hood and I think that should be good.
