Leaving a diesel idle in between stops in the cold

If you are going to use a piece of cardboard, cut a circle out in the middle of it.
This will allow an even load on the fan/water pump and save the water pump sea, if you have a belt driven fan/water pump.

The thermostats used in Cummins engines tend to fail toward getting lazy. Failure toward closed or opening late is significantly less likely. My old thermostat wouldn't let the engine get past 150° in Florida summer with AC on.


Gotcha ... my old one came out in pieces.

I don't think anyone builds a REALLY GOOD thermostat anymore.

Yeah, mine had that rubber garbage in there. Dunno what for.
