Ramp truck no heat
I noticed a few weeks ago that the Ramp truck had no heat except when I let it sit idling for a bit but after a few minutes of driving nothing. So today I took the water neck off and the thermostat was laying in the intake. So I bought a new one along with a new hose Gates#(22043) it's for a dodge ram truck but it worked great. I cut the one end off of it. I never did like the old hose that was on it.
They didn't have 185* thermostat so I got the 195* instead. I now have the temperature gauge reading about half way across on the gauge. I'm OK with it but I think the 185* would have put it right at the hash mark where I like for it to be. Maybe needs a 180*. Next project will be moving the alternator to drivers side and putting a 3 wire system back in it so it charges properly.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs. |
