as some of you know, i blew out my stock freeze plug at the track last weekend. i just ordered the block off plate, but im a little nervous about blowing a different one out when i go back to the track. does any one have any experience with these? does this just cause a different one to go? should i have gotten the whole re routing kit instead. let me know cause i still might have time to change my order if i have to,

 

ever since I blew mine, I've been careful to let the thermostat fully open before any thrashing. Hasn't happened again. Here's a link to my write up-
It looks like the link to the pics is gone, but I can post new pics if you need them.

The photos are missing in that link ?

 

I took a look at the link, thanks. i have the plate on order but i was wondering if you have had any problems after doing it. im afraid it might blow another one unless i get the re routing cooling kit. do i need it or is the block off good enough?

 

no, no problems since the block off install.....

 

There is an other option , from what I have found , the Cummins in Rams is the only application where they leave out a by pass fitting on the back of the head , there is spouse to be better cooling with this .
I went looking for the link , but can not seem to find it , it may have been at TST products .

 

Quick and easy thing to do beside making sure the engine is up to full operating temperature and has cycled the thermostat (hard to do while sitting around waiting for your turn at the starting line). When you stage, put your heater on MAX heat. The flow through the heater core by passes around the thermostat to help prevent over pressure blow outs of the freeze plugs during high rpm runs.

 

Thanks, ill have to do that too.

 

Thanks again buddy!

 

I blew mine and wish i would bought the kit , just in case. You cant help but sometimes put your foot in it

 

Found while looking for the by pass fitting .http://www.turbodieselregister.com/f...d.php?t=181670

 

Thanks for the link!

 

Where did you order the plate from?

 

I got it pure diesel power

 

Do you know if it's just a flat plate or does it have a piece on the plate that fits into the freeze plug like an install tool?
