Here are a couple, not flash but it gets the job done. I think this is much better than the previous down pipe straight after the muffler.

I'll try and remember to take a pic of the exhaust tomorrow. This is the TPMS https://tsttruck.com/507-series-4-flow-thru-sensor-tpms-system-with-color-displatst-507-ft-4-c.html we got, you can get a better deal on it on Ebay (where we bought ours). Here is a in progress picture of the...

Thanks guys, I will have to watch the miles vs oil consumption closer. Honestly I just keep an eye on fluid levels and top up as needed. On a side note, while crawling around under the truck doing the radiator I realized I never mentioned we had a new exhaust tailpipe fabricated that goes over...

Thanks for the tip about the breather, I will take a look. If it is maybe it is ok just to let the engine burn it? That campsite was really amazing, and even though the entry road was a bit rough people did drag a few trailers in. I am amazed with people here in AZ with what they will put their...

Guess it is time for a quick update. We have been spending more time in the national forest, it really has some spectacular camp spots. Here is the one we were just at. Really hard to beat this one. We ended up returning to the small private campground yesterday as our replacement radiator...

Thanks again, and don't crawl around. I am sure I can figure this one out :).

We used http://www.awis.us/, and Dan Ozdinec was the guy. He handled the shipping and import for what I consider a reasonable cost. Plus he kept us up to date throughout the entire process (without having to hound him). When we ship to South America I will give him a call.

During our cab refresh I put During our cab refresh I replaced our mirrors with ones with a built in bottom convex mirror (and defroster, though the defroster is not wired yet). They work well but I still have a small blind spot pretty much right at the passenger cab door. So I tried...

A little trip update, we are still in Tonto National Forest in one of the many dispersed camping spots. We have good access to a few different mountain trails so able to get outside and stretch our legs. Kind of strange camping out here, other than seeing the news, you would never know there was...

Thanks Joe (and no worries about time, I know you are busy with the house), seems every single MB truck I see they did a bit differently. Can I ask why you replaced the expansion tank? Also, what is the coolant line that is T'd into the cab heater line? Is that your circuit for the engine...

Just found the part number on the radiator. Just had to jam my head in there. I do not think we have the integrated cooler. The part number is A6775000203. Now just need to find a replacement.

One more thing and I am not 100% sure about this. One of the replacement radiators mentions an "integrated oil cooler". Am I correct to assume that there would be a oil line hookup to the radiator if this is the one we have? I am pretty sure we do not. Has anyone seen something like this on...

So I looked up the radiator part number in the EPC. I had thought that by using your VIN in the EPC it would get the specifics of your truck. For some reason there looks to be 2 different radiator part numbers. I am going to try again today, but I crawled around a bit and have yet to find the...

Got an update! We ended up going to "Total German Motorworks" in Mesa AZ. It is a small auto shop that usually works on cars. Well these guys went over the cooling system, figured out how to pressurize it and low and behold after about 15 minutes the top of the radiator started to weep. Pretty...

Thanks for taking another look, and what you are saying it why I keep talking about that pipe. From the factory the center cap with the chain was a pressure cap and makes no sense to me since that pipe is connected to the radiator. So here is what I stumbled on this morning. I have been...

Thanks for the tips, one thing I want to say is the coolant system is (as far as I know) 100% factory. When I said the heater I mean the factory truck cab heater. When we were having the rear leaf springs replaced at the commercial truck repair shop they took a look at the coolant issue (spent 2...

Since we have time right now I thought I would return to the coolant problem. Still no solution though I just talked with Rob Pickering about it and we may make the 700 mile trip north to get it fixed. He checked on a 1224 he has there and of course this part of the cooling system is different...

Thanks Sitec, this is a good idea, anyone know where you can get these in the USA?

Unfortunately Organ Pipes campground was shutdown a few days ago, so we headed towards Phoenix. We ended up in a small campground in a small surrounding town which is pretty quiet. Since the truck is setup for more remote camping we are parked at the edge of the property next to a horse coral...

Well due to the announcement from the State Department/President about the border closing to non essential people we did a 180 and headed back across the border to the US. We just felt if any of our family needed help we needed to be able to get to them. Then we find out from the border agent...
