Does it get to 180 degrees during the summer? I had troubles with my 92 getting to temp and had replaced the thermostat twice with no luck. But I then put in a Cummins thermostat and the temp rises nicely and the truck runs great. Could be that you also need a good dose of injector cleaner...

Good point. I'm new to this sort of thing. 92, 250, 4wd, extended cab. I did havesome trouble with the truck heating up(see thread in 1st gen), but since putting in a Cummins thermostat it heats up nicely. No added pump, but I did put in a vortex horsepower booster(spins the incoming air).

When the engine's cold it start right up, but after it reaches operating temp(185ish) and I shut it off, upon restarting the engine just cranks and cranks. I let it cool back down to 130 or so and it starts right up again. It seems be getting fuel b/c I popped the injectors and deisel spurts...

I've had the same problem going on with my '92(see thread in 1st gen discussions). I'm as stumped as you because before all previous winters the truck warmed up nicely and stayed consistently hot. I've replace my thermostat twice(although not with a cummins one) and it does not seem to make a...

veggie oil I've got my "92 running on used veggie oil and could answer some of your questoins. I go the kit from www.greasecar.com. I've put about 18,000 miles on the veggie oil over the last two years.

It's not the thermostat, I checked and replaced that, twice, along with flushing the whole system. Two months ago the truck over heated and blew the transmission/radiator heat exchanger. Upon replacing the transmission, the garage recommended that I put in a seperate, smaller radiator just for...
