Re: 1988 Suburban "V Rig" Gets Cummins Power

Well, I didn't get as much done today as I would have liked to. When I got to my shop this morning, nothing wanted to light up due to the lovely temps. Any way, I did get the radiator hold downs installed, and finally got coolant in the system. Has anyone used Champion radiators before? I'm not real pleased with this one. First off the small fitting for the over flow hose was stripped out in the radiator neck. I repaired that last week. Today I went to tighten the plugs they provide for the 2 extra ports in the RH tank. They were both cross threaded. I had to drill them bigger and re tap them. Then go to Tompkins and get bigger fittings. What a PITA! Anyhow rant over.
