Who dis? Camp Mccain medical clinic.
 
@under_psi , what'd you'd do with the old tires? I'd like a pair of beater 33x18s
 
Jeebus on that cheater bar!

Yep, it was an impressive tool. That said, @jrob was able to remove 2 bolts with a simple pipe wrench that they weren't able to get out (and in fact broke) with that monstrocity. Nonetheless, we would have been in for a very long night (or just punted) without their help. Reminds, I need to bring those guys some beer since they wouldn't let me pay them. Cool folks and have some really neat stuff they are working on.

That didn't take long! Just saw your crew creeping through Vaiden on their way to McCain. Bound to be a fun weekend...uh um...

I figured that might be you. Blew our doors off!! we were waiting on my LMTV with no 5th gear to catch up.

Fun weekend.....only if I get some beer tonight!!! luckily I have a GSA my S3 shop drove up.

I love that truck! Didn't realize you had a 100, thought you were an 80 flipper only! see you in 219 tomorrow.
 
Man, Im just looking for some rollers. Yours are probably too nice for me!
 
Ok, I have been flushing the s*** out of this green. Passenger block side drains really well. Only drops are coming out of the driver block side?

All drain and fills leading up to this last one were keeping temps in the 185 range. Heater only blows hot air under load.

Now on the last drain and fill I am in the 205 temp range. Radiator started burping a lot more regular too.

Is this normal as I am reaching a more H2O consistent mixture?

Pic of the last sample of coolant coming out just has a slight green tint. Still too green to go red now?

Edit: can't seem to upload a pic
 
Straight H2O will have more heat transfer capacity, but the thermostat is what 'should' be controlling the actual number. Maybe there's some air still in there.

I would want it as clear as possible before switching over.
 
Flushed another time and the red is in. Immediately after it was in I could see some brown specs (small amount) start coming into the top of the radiator, likely from the return line. It did look as if the red was starting to eat away at the floating specs. This maybe where the red starts to shine with better rust inhibitors.


I am wondering if I have a clogged or constrained coolant passage...
1) the heater only works under load
2) coolant only drips out of the driver side of block and pours out of the passenger block side


Not sure what else to do at this point.
Temps are back to normal and the system is burped really well.
 
No, haven't pulled the console yet to look.
It's vintage air so I need to look up the info on it.

Wasn't me in a 100. Was in GSA headed to service-members wife's funeral in Vaiden.
