    We gave the old family wagon another good float work out this afternoon hauling Mrs MB’s young Clydesdale Cross (650kgish) up up over and across to Mansfield flatter valley ways for training.
    Redarc alarm EGT’s on the stock TD42T are absolutely annoyingly and we are deliberately dropping cogs to keep under 575C up hills although very happy water still will not currently break 95C with some 3C to go until fully open on the TD27 88C thermostat so far found good folks!

    Many a great sand driver folks hate these ‘Air Dams’ as they ‘rip off’ when reversing have read but do believe down here they are integral for our highway needs.

    EDIT: Mrs MB’s near stocky dam :-)

    I put that back on mine, did absolutely nothing to help the kettle from boiling.

    We should definitely park our family wagons side by side together one day Mark mate. I’m wondering if there is possibly any slight set up differences on the ZD30 conversion TD’s or are they all same same radiators, cowlings, rubber and plastic bits everywhere etc....?

    Yeah definitely. Fairly low cost and we can make a weekend of it at your place for the install.

    Success....finally managed to just get the 88C thermostat to fully open up on our steppest test hill home bound.

    Our ambient temps have finally snuck a whisker over 30C and deliberately ran this test with A/C on flat out today.

    Coasting back down the other side she’s straight back to 89C so pretty happy with that.

    Bring on the hotter weather now as last summers max coolant temp was 98C too IIRC with the old 76.5C thermostat.
    Here’s hoping that the factory blocked Jiggle Pins on these 82&88C thermostats although fantastic in winter hopefully don’t hinder over summer.

    Haven’t driven the old family GU faithful truckster for a little while now as was away working with the GQ almost as much loved kettle up north until this warming last weeks home. Scored a 39C ambient GU temp test day yesterday for a blast up our home test hill still on the Russian 88C winter TS as installed before.

    Finally managed to sneak a new 2019 record of 99C on this hill top once eased off the peddle with heatsoak and it blipped up there for a fleeting full open few seconds before back to old 76.5C TS same same too max of 98C summer found for us last year on the brand new then OEM radiator.

    Best I can nuffy understand from findings now is that regardless of purchased OEM thermostat settings the summer time ‘max’ temps in this wagon don’t seem to alter although the rest of the years warmer and down to seriously colder ambient temps hug so so much closer to healthier running temps of 88C + I smell and find much betterer :-)
    Really keen for anyone please to trial the OEM 82C (apparently Aussie manual spec) version to see if they can achieve similar‘stability’ instead of huge ‘fluctuations’ as what originally did scared me and these beloved donks we have!
    IMHO now: “It’s all in our cooling systems overall health”

    Funny you should mention someone else trialling a 82° thermostat @MB, I just picked one up from Nissan on Wednesday
    I was thinking of fitting it as we move out of summer though.
