[QUOTE="Motostroker, post: 990665, member: 7062"] Just now saw this, tons of effort to save block though! Over $160 bucks of vc9 and fleet guard restore plus has been through it, constant flushing pulling block plugs, ect. My flushes included driving the truck with radiator blocked, thermostat out, to get as close as I can to 200 and keep it there for atleast an hour to break up the rust. After 30 flushes, it started getting better. I installed new oil cooler and not even within 25 miles deltas were 50+ off again. Oil cooler was so clogged ( on the coolant side) it built enough coolant psi to puke through the cap. And at one point blew off bottom radiator hose. Putting a new short block in it has gotten to be the only option at this point, he's frustrated I've had it for so long. Btw I've looked and made some phone calls about the trucks history. 192k miles, one owner. He owned a landscape business... I called the business and they told me they have been putting water in it. I asked how long, and they said since it blew a HG at 106k miles!!!!!! Almost 100k miles of water. No wonder the trucks heads were junk. I've rigged fittings to reverse flush the truck also through the oil cooler, and block plugs. At this point I'm convinced it needs a block. It's horrible. [/QUOTE]
