It's recommended to clean between condenser and radiator occasionally

[@TruckerAK]

i did that with the old radiator plenty of times but it just never made a difference for me as you can see the condition of the old radiator

[@williemilton665]

Motivation I'm bringing my classic back to life. Good job

[@davidwilliams6645]

Good morning Brother Trucker. So glad you got the new parts on your trk. Hope everything goes well with the truck in New Company 🙏

Nice video, classic xl is my dream truck thinking of selling my Cascadia and getting one

[@timmay2k]

Saved yourself potentially a $4000 tow and repair bill. Last winter my radiator blew out in Maryland. Definitely will help out on your turbo ans boost.

South Georgia hotshot jut literally made the same video replacing his intercooler too he's also flatbed owner op....

[@brianschneir2158]

Need to blow out the intercooler. I haul mulch and we blow out our radiator, intercooler, condenser ,and air filter once a week.

I just bought a fully aluminum surge tank and it’s way lighter than the factory one Also I won’t have any problems with it rusting

[@forgedtrucker922]

Notification squad!

[@sheldonmcclaflin8904]

Does your truck have a coolant filter? Another question does your power steering reservoir have a filter? Thank you very much.

[@TruckerAK]

Negative on the coolant and it might have a power steering filter I’d have to double check

[@sergiopablolopezjuvier7549]

Buenos días tengo un freightliner clásico 1998 tiene ese mismo problema en el radiador como puedo saber que tipo de radiador comprar?

[@SalGilbert]

How much did the radiator cost you and from where?

[@wilE6764]

Do you use permatex and a new gasket for the thermostats?

[@TruckerAK]

Yes i would put ultra grey. In the next video i had to take apart the thermostats because i didnt put ultra grey

[@ThatOneGuy-hp2pb]

Can your mechanic friend do an overhead on d d fifteen

[@charlesabbott1702]

Hey dude, how can I get in touch with you as to pick your brain about my freightliner. I am building as I go to and there are some things that I cannot locate.

[@user-qo1iu4ni5z]

What sizes are your truck tires low or tall 24.5

[@scottycollins1829]

Low Pro 24.5

[@1tuffzx10]

Bruh where did you get the radiator from? How much was it? Freightliner told me 2k here where I'm at in GA.

[@TruckerAK]

total like 1540 with surge tank at the dealership in jacksonville but i bought the last one the had

[@1tuffzx10]

@TruckerAK is there a part number? If you have it can you share it wit me. This freightliner here is tripping, 2k for a freaking radiator 🤦🏾‍♂️

[@1tuffzx10]

@TruckerAK I'll make the trip or overnight it but 2k 😔

[@pnweboardcroft7361]
