We posted up last night in New Bern. After replacing the radiator that i already replaced the night before!! During a a little shake down running around town the trans cooler section of the first replacement blew out, pumped out all the trans fluid and left me sitting. I made It to a parking lot, AAA back home. So at 5pm Wednesday night i was in the driveway, pouring fluid, undercarriage soaked, with a busted radiator and busted dreams lol. I said “No way” started all over again with another radiator Wednesday night til about 11pm. My dad came to help. He works on zero vehicles. So that was big. Thank goodness i ordered 2 radiators from 2 different places Incase there was an issue.!! So guess what. The radiator didn’t fit. 1inch too narrow. Started looking. Radiators came from same factory, from appearances, but brackets were different. So you guessed it. Swapped the brackets and it fits !! So i finished the second one and tested the truck Thursday a.m. Loaded up and rolled out for a full stop shakedown this time. So far so good. Sorry that probably should have been a separate post !!!!! We are here, damn the torpedos!!!
Way to make it happen! See you this afternoon.
