  • Hi everyone,

    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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Safari Tank and TE450

Hi all.

I have a 09 te450 on which i have installed 19L Safari Tank.
Recently did a trip over 2500km, for the most part it went great, however when doing the slower sand sections here in Oz coupled with temperatures around 30 degree celcius, found a couple of times that the radiator was burbling/boiling away when we stopped. Could be a function of reduced cooling effect due larger tank not sure.
Anyone had similar issues? I use Motul Inogrel coolant. Thinking of adding MoCool to drop temps a bit.

Any ideas?

It is probably a bad thing to have boiling coolant! Not sure abour your specific issue, its never happened to me.. But.

I do know that between the 2009 and 2010 models one of the (small) changes made was the routing of the cooling hoses. ON the LH side of my 2010 frame there is a "Y" shaped coolant hose that diverts hot coolant fairly evenly between the two radiators.

I have heard that on the 2009 models the "Y" is more like a "T", which allows less coolant to flow to the RH radiator. This is a bummer as the thermo fan is on the RH side..

Fortunately you can buy the updated "Y" piece from a husky dealer. Even if this isnt the sole problem at work, it will definately help.
 
Thaks for that, i'll give it a go. Cant do any worse.
