Put a Derale remote cooler under the truck with a fan and thermostat. https://derale.com/products/fluid-coolers/thermostats-1/remote-mount-in-line-thermostats/12-dyno-cool-curved-blade-electric-fan-detail...

Think I saw you parked by Swamis is this weekend. Real clean van.

I haven’t ever done mine but have considered it. That looks pretty sludgy.

Raw water cooling probably has something to do with that.

Looks like the same boat. Mine once had a sail kit it looks like, would love to put one on. The outriggers are original, I think, but are welded. Some before pics... I have since repainted the interior and polished the exterior, just needs some finishing touches and will be ready to go.

Just flip it over off the trailer, it’s only 100lbs. You can also put a little bilge pump in there. You may get shot if you drilled into it. I’m redoing a really old 17’ Grumman canoe, 50’s I think. It came with outriggers and has a square back for my 1925 Evinrude. It’s polishing up...

super cool set up. i want to do the same to my 7.3 f350. love the idea of free fuel.

Somebody please buy this before I have to. https://sandiego.craigslist.org/esd/cto/d/ramcharger-cummins/6711729870.html

Correct about the original housing, it’s a throw away. My 7.3 seems to really like the 203.

Once you flatbed it’s hard to go back.

I like your taste in trucks. If you plan on going into Mexico stay with the pre 2003 diesels. Love my flatbed 7.3, it’s more than I need nowadays with the boat in a slip and the camper collecting dust. That said, I love heading out with a tent and the flatbed loaded up with toys while doing...

Very cool. A friend of mine works for Waves for Water. I could get you in touch if you need some filters. http://www.wavesforwater.org/

I’ll sometimes wear a sun shirt when I’m out on the boat, hiking, or surfing. They work but I never get burned through a regular cotton long sleeve either. I have an old one that I use for hiking. It doesn’t smell but no amount of bleach will get it white again. I don’t like sweating in...

Something must have change with them. My older ranch hand has hit a lot and not even a scratch. I wacked one of those parking poles once, bent the crap out of the pole but could no teven tell where I hit it. I leave near the beach, it lives outside, and not one spec of rust. Made in China...

I have this one and like it better than my 800lb camper. The bowed out walls are nice for putting a cot right up againt the side. It’s like a living room inside, way better quality material than I expected for the price. Seams should probably be sealed though if using it in the rain. I really...

The OP referenced towing I’m pretty sure he wasn’t talking about pushing airplanes around the tarmac, which a diesel would also do better. Most people don’t keep their vehicles forever and consider resale when buying. I’m sure the 4.9 works great for what you do but my opinion is that the OP...

I did a road trip in a 4.9 campervan and it was a dog. Could not get to 80mph (Utah speed limit) without a tailwind or downhill let alone do the speed limit on the up hill stretches. Towing something would be awfully slow and probably dangerously slow on the open road. Sure, a ups truck that...

the 7.3 van will hold its value, maybe even sell for more than you paid. Can’t say that with a gasser. Also, all that stuff you mentioned that is more expensive is because they are heavy duty and last 200k + miles or are the same parts in a gasser van. That’s why they are more expensive. My...

I have a few of those on my underwater ROV, the same ones from Amazon. They suck pretty much but are fine if you liquid electric tape and heat shrink over them. They are really floppy too which will work the joint depending on your application. This is the stuff you want for serious...
