I wish it was that easy, I do have a 26x21 true 4 core copper radiator, 7 blade HD fan, but the fan shroud for factory big block/air conditioning trucks is pretty elusive. I'm leaning toward fabricating my own.

I never even knew that product existed, but I'm a big fan of Evaporust already. Thanks!

I used the Bouchillon Performance brackets as I decided after pulling the engine down to the long block not to reuse the RV2 and go with a more effecient system. I still haven't figured out which condenser I'm going to use as the original one was converted to a transmission cooler by the...

I did, but all the rust flakes were from the old WP impeller. I soaked the WP Housing in evaporust and it came out mint, but I ended up using an aluminum one.

I'm a HUGE fan of the AGM Duracell batteries sold at Sams Club (they're made by East Penn.) So much so in fact that I have 4 of them. I too am in South Texas (just outside of Corpus Christi) and have ZERO issues. One of the Group 65's in my F150 sits on location for 14 days at a time in the sun...

Last year while I had nothing else better to do, I got my wife's 74 Dodge Ramcharger SE (Factory 440/Auto/ w/AC) truck running/driving again. Everything under the frame was replaced, enter fuel system, brake system, and cooling system. The truck had been sitting in my garage for 11 years with...

well I'm going to buy some and use the free after rebate...I'll use it in something and hope for the best.

my 2000 Harley F150 with the 4R70 tranny has the torque converter drain plug, that was the last year for them I think

had 12 quarts of Royal Purple and 4 quarts of M1.. I am going to send the sample to Blackstone tomorrow and will post the results as soon as I get them

on my 2000 Harley F150 (4R70W) the truck had 100K on the Royal Purple/Mobile 1 mix and had developed a slight shudder when cold, so I went ahead, got a pail of shaeffers and had a flush done Monday. Sunday afternoon I installed an LPW deep pan and poured in 8 quarts of Valvoline High Mileage...

I bought a 2000 Harley F150 new in February of 2001, drove it off the lot with 78 miles on it, drove 300 miles home and changed the oil with Mobil 1 5w20 and have ran M1 5w20 ever since, the truck has 156K on it now and runs like new still, but it does burn a quart of oil every 5K or so

I just had a 5 gallon pail of Shaffers ATF delivered Friday, its going to be going into my F150 (4R70W) this week replacing the Royal Purple (with a few quarts of M1 in there too). I did not have a Shaeffer's rep in Corpus Christi, TX (went out of business) so Shaeffers allowed me to purchase...

I have 3 vehicles with old engines, 2 of them have 440's and the other has a 360, I run Rotella 15w40 in all of them, i heard it has plenty of zinc, I have not had any problems in 6 years on my oldest 440 (in a 70 Coronet R/T that has never been broken into/touched)

There are no dealers in this area that sell Shaeffers (Corpus Christi) I called a dealer about 70 miles north of me and he quoted me 150/pail. Is this the going price? Seems pretty high considering its 2X the price of TransSynd
