Hello, daveinliberty!
I have now sold over 200 Hot Diesel Solutions Model 001 engine thermostat assemblies to Liberty CRD owners all over North America, and also in Germany, Italy and Australia. Some of my customers live and drive in extreme cold climates, and the Model 001 goes a long way to keeping the engine properly warm.
Some of my other customers live in extremely hot climates and/or drives their CRD in heavy demand situations. The increased coolant flow offered by the Model 001 is a great hedge against overheat situations. I have one customer in Boise Idaho who regularly tows 4,000 lb loads up mountain passes with his Model 001 equipped CRD, and no overheat situations. I have another customer who lives in Florida and uses his Model 001 in a radically modified Liberty CRD that I doubt is even street legal anymore. He takes his "Gremlin" mud bogging and rock climbing and experiences rock-steady 203 degree engine temperatures. Still another satisfied customer lives in Alice Springs, Australia... just check out how hot it gets there, Mate.
To this day I have not had one complaint about my product, and I suspect that I never will due to the design and the extreme quality of the materials and manufacturing of it.
Here is my contact information... please send me an e-mail message and I will send to you a detailed information letter with 9 attached photos for your perusal.
Best regards,
