Re: The Hillbilly Deluxe dually build

Another update while I'm here....

While doing the power steering pump, I also did the full cooling system at the same time and did a bunch of cleaning and powdercoating of all the front end engine stuff while I had it off.

-Had the radiator done at my local shop. Leak repaired, cleaned and resealed
-New water pump
-FelPro Printoseal t-stat gasket (Made in USA)
-All new hoses, heater, radiator, and bypass (Gates Made in USA)
-Thermostat (Made is USA)

The truck had some kind of goofy little fan that the fan shroud just swallowed up. I wound up taking it off and replacing it with a full size fan from one of my parts trucks.











Heater shut off valve I used. It's actually a PEX ball valve from Home Depot.



Restored the fan shroud.





All new hydroboost hoses to replace the old cracked leakers (Gates made is USA).







New hardware for the fan shroud.
