I'm gonna lean on something unstuck, he explained verbatim the same thing to me. Even mentioned on his big big pumps that he deletes the return check valve on the pumps.

I haven’t had an IP apart yet, I need to do that soon. But I was messaging with Justin and he explained to me how activating the cold advance opens the regulators check valve / drops all housing pressure. If the check valve gets stuck it won’t let housing volume out so it would affect the backside of the plungers. Aka like if you’re return is blocked. One of the troubleshooting steps I ran the ip return to a bucket and no difference so I figured wasn’t that and then when I jumped the cold advanced and things started to work I didn’t know what I didn’t know besides either coincidence or something unstuck.

@tbowker happy?
Yes, thank you kind sir. :Thumbs Up

I’ve done some testing and I’m estimating to get to 253 degrees of water in the heads which will then start steaming off. Then if that steams off it will essentially be dry blocked for however long.

Choosing not to run one in version 1
IDIs love heat and diesels run cooler, part of my initial thoughts. Rather have hot water in it then a busted radiator and no water.

I'd just put the rad in the back seat but there's probably rules against that if you're going with the delete kit. LOL
