Degas Your 7.3L
Sinister Diesel has released its new Degas Coolant
Overflow bottle for the Ford 7.3L Power Stroke, joining
the previously available 6.0L version. The bottle is made out of 6061
aircraft-grade aluminum that has been TIG welded and pressure tested for
maximum strength. This process makes the Sinister bottles much more durable than
the factory version, which are molded from plastic pieces that are prone to cracking and
leaking. Another benefit of the aluminum construction is that it dissipates heat more efficiently
than plastic, which contributes to better performance and longevity.
The degas bottle features a sight glass for simple level inspection and is a bolt-on replacement
for the stock reservoir that can be installed in less than 30 minutes. The bottle is available in a raw finish
or powder coated in Sinister’s well-known Sinister Blue.

Heavier Duty, Lighter Load


Air Lift Company’s brand-new product line, the LoadLifter
7500 XL, is now available for the 2000-2010 GM 2500HD and
3500 pickups. With all the same benefits as other Air Lift load
support products, the LoadLifter 7500 XL is the heaviest-duty,
providing up to 7,500 pounds of load leveling capacity, but at a
lower air pressure for a more comfortable ride. The featured pair
of massive air springs eliminate many common problems with
towing, facilitating a safer towing experience. Other features
of this product are exclusive upper and lower roll plates, which
protect the air springs from sharp edges while increasing the
load capacity by 10 percent. The LoadLifter 7500 XL is adjust-
able for any weight, requires no drilling into the vehicle frame,
and is compatible with most fifth wheel and gooseneck hitches.

Larson Electronics has announced a new no-drill magnetic
mounting plate for Ford F250-F550 Super Duty aluminum body
trucks. The plate is specifically designed for magnetically-mount-
ed spotlights. It’s installed via the read cab light and doesn’t
require any drilling. You simply remove the screws holding the
light in place and set the plate between the light and the cab,
then replace the screws. The plate features a weatherproof seal
to protect the wiring of the cab light, and rubber guards on the
bottom to protect the truck’s roof from damage by the plate itself.
“The last thing you want to do is put unnecessary holes in
your nice truck,” says Rob Bresnahan, CEO of Larson Electronics
LLC. “These Ford F250-F550 mounting plates create a convenient
way for operators to mount their spotlights without having to
drill into their truck, making it perfect for use with their work or
lease vehicles.”
