Been running my 8BA with 160 deg. therms and no pressure for 63 years now. Have the factory shroud on the radiator. It has never overheated in it's life and the heater can get the cab too hot on the coldest days. I pull the bottom rubber seal off the cap and leave the top one so the recovery system will work properly. 50/50 antifreeze mix with a couple of cans of rust preventative. Been listening to the stat argument many years. Guess I will keep on keeping on as I do believe the old gal is going to outlive me.
