Re: GTRV problems with the Big Baby

As with vwteleman I'm shocked to see the poor quality of work. I too had mine done in Richmond by Roy. I saw plenty of examples of his work before and after I had mine done and I witnessed nothing...

Re: 4x4 Conversion

Rick,

I have a 2006 6.0L diesel that had the an IFS conversion done by Clydesdale. If I could do it over again I would go with a solid axle.

Re: Diesel in freezing temps?

No second pump as far as I know. The folks that I thought were installing it actually sent it to the Kenworth dealer for installation so getting answers has been tough. I'm thinking of going directly...

Re: Diesel in freezing temps?

Just reread the thread and I'm not sure I addressed your question directly.

Re: Diesel in freezing temps?

I cheat. For those occasions when I'm away from AC power (winter camping) I've had an Espar Hydronic installed to heat my block. It doesn't work as well as AC power but this may be due to some...
