Thanks to Gordon for sharing the part numbers and his contact at Martin Diesel! I called them yesterday and ordered the parts - they came in (overnight) this morning - I was very impressed with their service.
Coolant not moving is a good thing to check - how long did you have to wait for it to (not) start moving or what temperature does it start moving? I would think the thermostat would have to open (at >200F?) to start the water moving…
I have gone full demo and have removed the radiator and sent it to a shop to have it cleaned - they are now stalling and it hopefully will be done tomorrow. I will be installing the new t-stat and gaskets this afternoon and just waiting for the radiator now…
