Superdog Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 Mike, How did the Low to High Flow conversion work out?It turned out great,made a different truck out of it.We ended up using a radiator out of another Mack powered Superliner,had a radiator shop move the bottom inlet and plumb a bung for a return line,then we modified the top hose,doesn't look too bad.Now it runs 180 90% of the time,hottest I've had it was 195 in a hard pull.Temps here have been in the 90's and up to 107 so I think it's doing wonderful compared to the way it was.Bruce M stopped by to visit and check out the G73 while we were at Walcott,I told him what we'd done and he approved.He gave me a few more suggestions to try.I may get this ol' Cummins to pull like a Mack someday afterall.

Green Dash Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Looks excellent! I'd slap Olivetroad if he wasn't so derned far way.It could've easily one first place, with the right judges. I like the non-Turbo Wing look myself. Quote Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
