  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

So tonight my son and I flushed my cooling system on my 08’ TE510 and finally got around to replacing my water pump with the high flow impeller that I bought on here back in 2015. I was explaining to my 12 year old while we were getting ready to pull the pump housing about how these are notorious for the nut on the impeller to go mia. When I pulled the housing, I was shocked to find the nut still there, and in perfect condition. The impeller was on snug and there was no marks on the housing where they typically rub against. I wire brushed the nut and inspected it closely and it’s in perfect shape. I’ve had this bike now for 10.5 years and have really only had issues with the hydraulics on the clutch side right after I got it. Once I got that dialed, this bike has been an absolute beast. These Italian big blocks really are one of the best motors ever made. SWM was smart to buy the tooling for these bikes.
