As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
both mine leaked a week apart from each other, similar spots, no impact damage or anything like that. gotta feeling the radiator braces transfer too much engine vibration to rads despite being rubber mounted causing em to split. know of other similar occurences too. mine both repaired & been sweet as since-easy fix but pain in the arse
damn thats cheap as chips. wel pay $300-$400 per side here in OZ! for that price id just buy newbies and keep repaired ones as spares!
did they fit up sweet mantrap? whats quality like(welds, plumbing connections right, performance)? were they $150 + del. each or together?
damn that looks sweet with all them welds,very custom/factoryish style. as long as it lasts-get out there & real world test it!Guys - The Rad showed up yesterday (only 7 days from China) and I installed it last night. Wow, what a nice unit and an exact match up with perfect fitment. By the way, the company on EBay was "winner racing" and here's their site : www.winnerracing.com
In 2007, seems that all the models came with Alexon radiators. These are the ones that crack and get full of holes. The left side one on my 07 TE450 cracked, I had it welded, it cracked again, had it welded, lasted for a couple more years, then started to leak again just lately. I put another Alexon that I bought cheap on there. When the right side cracked, I replaced it with a Toyo. No more problems with that. If you ever replace with a stocker, specify the part number for a Toyo.
no can do mate wasnt my post was Jhunter, just commented on them! but yeah youre right cmon Jhunter how they holding up?
my 10 300s rads were them poxy alexon ones & they both split. will replace with the toyos. how much were they dirtdame?
When I bought my RH side Toyo (maybe two years ago) it was about 145 bucks.
