You can just disconnect it at the left battery.

It's awfully quiet around here.

Radiator leak
A "backer plate" for a radiator is found in the same area of the parts bin with the engine "throssell rods" and "muffler bearings". They are also sold on Ebay.

Door jam foam fell out
With any glue you want to have temps in the 60's or higher for best set.

Door jam foam fell out
Like @Threadzysaid: clean, dry, glue, dune. When mine came loose I used what we call in the industry "gorilla snot" AKA 3M™ Yellow Super Weatherstrip and Gasket Adhesive #08001.

No boost reading on Iquad after mishap
Is it the same codes? How does it run with the Quadzilla disconnected? Can you get any live data via the OBD port?

Grid heater staying on
You may have a bad grid heater relay that's stuck closed. There are two of them, one for each grid heater, located on the left inner fender below the battery. Test by disconnecting the grid heater relays' ground wire, black with yellow tracers, this will the relays from turning on. Next, with thew bypass switched on, turn the ignition switch to on. Test for voltage at the grid heaters; there should be no none. If there is voltage to a grid heater, then that relay is bad.

Grid heater staying on
It sounds like the on/off wire from the switch got attached to one of the grid heater relays. This is the way it should be installed with the power on/off wire from the switch only going to the relay terminal marked with an S. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/51_engine/electrical/grid-heater-bypass-simplified-r662/

I wrote two ways to control the grid heaters; Grid Heater Bypass and Grid Heater Bypass Simplified. Which one did you use?

Another radiator leak thread, this the season
Be careful. In the parts look up the diesel shows only one radiator, part #52030191AB. The gas engine section shows one without cooling line fittings and three with the fittings; all with different part numbers than the diesel radiator.

Wonder if anyone will bite
Kelly Blue Book is just a guide and not the Bible of what a vehicle is worth. Like now, when the cost of fuel goes up no one wants a gas guzzler. I remember with the last OPEC oil embargo, 1979-1980, you couldn't give a new Cadilac away but the Blue Book said they were thousands Everyone wanted one of those little Japanese cars; Datsuns and Toyotas. I saw it twice, new Caddys on the side of the road burning most likely for the insurance money. Then there are vehicles on the show room floor that sell for more than the monroney label. So, a vehicle is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Winter weather - What do you see where your at?
It's not winter yet. Eleven more days to go. Sunny and warm...stay away, don't come here. It doesn't snow at my house.

Sounds like no grid heaters.

Radiator leak
Why not, people here in the states, collect and drive the British Hilman vans. There not cool like a V12 XKE or a Jenson-Healey but as we say in the car biz "there's an a$$ for every seat". My work vehicle is a 1990 Astro van EXT van, 4.3L, auto and has over 350K miles on it. Since the van is all most 32 years old, I'm driving a classic.

Melted battery terminal
I'd put my money on a bad/loose connection. That type of connection cause high resistance and high resistance causes heat. The higher the resistance, the more currant to overcome it, the more heat.

It's Getting Worse Out there......
It's called Annett's Mono Village located 13 miles west of Bridgeport, CA on the eastern slopes of the Seirra Navada mountains at 7100 feet. I've been camping and fishing here, with a group of people, since 1994. When I found out that Jag1 comes here the same time as us I invited him to join the gang. We have a great time fishing, hiking, target shooting, metal detecting, sitting around the campfire at night tell tails. Anyone is welcome to join us. https://monovillage.com/ A view from the campgrounds On the other side is Yosemite National Park

2012 Range Rover...... not foreign to me but a right POS
Yes, now I know who it is. She's no twit. She's making a living on the Eco bandwagon.

2012 Range Rover...... not foreign to me but a right POS
Same thing here. In California we pay the highest gas tax and fees at $1.19 per gallon and now the local county government wants to charge 4-6 cents a mile use tax and increase the sales tax 1.5% over the next 3 years to fund their mass transit. Yes, they want us out of our vehicles. Who's the Hobbit schoolgirl?

When Biden Talks about Global Warming...
The Communist Chines are doing it. They jumped ahead of the U S and got the rights to mine rare earth elements from the governments of third world countries. They have zero concern about the environmental impact. They will use and do whatever is needed to make the most money to fund their GDP. That's why here in California there are rolling blackouts, The Government asks us to "Flex your power" and turn off appliances, air conditioners, and car chargers during high demand times. It's close to the same thing they do in a third world country. You and I will contribute like good little cogs. It says so in the New Gree Deal. Drive the tractor and trailer into a compony charging station that is strategically located along the trailers route. Remove the depleted tractor, attach a fully charged tractor and repeat at next station. It will be like what the Pony Express did with horses.

We need to explore the realm of space so that Mars can be colonized, then the human race can be saved when climate change wipes us out. The weather on Mars is lovely this time of year. In space no one needs a vacuum cleaner.
