Thank you.
truck must be complete by next Saturday. I'm probably about to take a new radiator support over to Cody's and just drop it off and check it all out. Unfortunately i missed out on all this stuff b/c i was at the Texas Diesel Nationals and got my azz kicked. LOL.

Where do you guys get'em?
A few years back I was visiting with the guys from CT Powerstroke Diesel Club (now gone) and one of the members had shown me how his was cracking from the torque and he had just found one to replace his with. At the time he couldn't buy a new one. I've seen them in LMC since, but I think they are aftermarket. Mine is rusting, Ahh New England! so I'll be in the market for one soon.

Mine cracked on both sides of the radiator, so the only thing holding my hood on was the single bolt at the bottom of the center support, the two A/C hoses and the two ATF cooler hoses. The bolt worked loose and my hood would rise 1 1/2" when driving down the highway. I just welded it up.

Looking Good Cody!!!
Is that BFH gonna fit under the hood?

i had one from a parts truck i have. thought it was the same, but after looking at them side by side they are a bit different. i need to see if i can get another part off the truck tomorrow for Cody as well. went ahead and checked out the engine in the shop too. it's lookin' AWESOME!!! pics don't do it justice really for the engine or the truck itself. this thing is gonna rock. gotta come up with some fuel system solutions, but it will be done.

Haha ya I just figured I'd poke the bear a little bit lol. Was the core support out of a psd or something else? Cuz me project needs one and I found a guy that's got one so if there are differences within the obs psd years then that info would help before I get the wrong o e lol.
