J,
I only ever got heat out of the heater when I was going up the pass. I think it definitely has to have a load on it. That or the up angle did something. In that case, I would go with what Boots said about the system possibly needing burped. To be fair though, I never got much better heat out...
Well boys, it's time to sell this rig. I have lost access to the shop I was using and I don't think I'll ever be able to finish it. As well, life is getting busier. I put a for sale add in the classifieds.
I hope you all are doing well.

Note: Engine pictured above is not the Cummins 4bt. That is a 383 stroker that I had in the rig previously.
If you want more pictures, just ask. I have so many, I don't know where to start...
Gentlemen,
It is time to sell my baby. I have lost access to the shop I was using for building this rig. It is killing me that I will not be able to finish this project. I’m looking for it to go to a good home, someone with the ability to finish it.
To be clear, the body on this rig needs a...
Sorry to hear about the knee and hand. I'm sure there is a story you are not allowed to tell behind the injurys.
That truck will keep you distracted, though.
Johnny,
Have you taken your rig for a long drive yet? I have taken mine to Idaho Falls a couple of times, over Teton Pass and the shorter Pine Creek Pass both ways. About 100 miles each way. I swear it runs better after a couple of long trips. And fuel mileage? Great. I haven't actually done...
I have a pair of OME rear leaf springs for sale. They are for the maximum lift that OME offered when I bought them, I think it was four inches. They are the stiff springs. They are in great shape. I replaced them with a new set of OME springs, only I bought two right hand springs to get rid of...
Lol! I don't know enough about welding to do it subtly.
I kinda like them too. I was just going fo functional, I kept not installing them because I could never think of something that would look good. Still doesn't look great, but not bad.
Custom dash when I refurbish the other body I...
Johnny,
Watched the videos. Nice! It's fun to drive isn't it? Hard to believe you're getting all that from a four-banger. What is you boost guage reading at 15-1700 RPMs? I'm getting almost no boost tooling around. And my top boost reads 15. I suspect that I have to go through the whole...
If I wasn't trashing this whole dash next year, I would have removed it to drill the holes. I wasn't too concerned about hurting it. As you can see it's had better days. So I drilled the holes with the dash in place and the one for the wiring, the drill slipped and tore up the padding. But, as I...
