The screamin chicken (96 dump truck) was doing great today hauling over loaded loads of rock. Only problems were a couple times were almost too heavy to raise the dump bed
Until tonight......
Went out to move the truck and saw a big puddle....oil in the back and antifreeze in the front. Looks like the water pump is leaking like a sive, but more of a PIA the oil cooler is leaking oil out of the bottom. Feels like it's got a rust crack. Anyone know a good place to get the cooler? Checking PSshop when the website starts working again, wonder if IH will be cheaper?

 

Don't know where you are located in Pa, but when I broke mine 2 weeks ago I found some oil coolers at Hovis auto wrecking, if I removed it was $40.00. They are up around I-80 north of Butler. My end split when I was trying to remove it to re-seal it. I found a new end at Schultz ford so I went that way. I went to Hunters (international) but it was different. If your end is split, Chrapp ford in Natrona Heights has some. They are off route 28.

 

I'm about an hour or so from ya, near Brookville (exit 78 on I-80). The ends seem Ok, the steel tube feels like it rusted thru. Everywhere was closed by the time I checked where the leak was coming from. Didn't check my parts bus, 95 IH, went to pop the hood and found bees...hahaha

OT: I didn't realize Hunters was a IH dealer, I always go to Zachrels in Clarion

 

I always go to Hunters on SR 8 just south of Butler. Hovis is open on Saturdays I think til 3. The ends international had are different from ford, maybe only on 1997. Make sure you take yours with you to compair. Be prepared for a oil and antifreeze bath. It is easy to remove, at least on my F-350 4X4.

Good luck.
