First Radiator Swap Done

[Tentsontop]

Man, I hate those stock hose clamps. Is it normal for the truck to run a little rough after having the battery disconnected overnight? I think I've read that it takes the computer a while to reset or something like that. AC isn't working either. Hope I didn't jack something up. No leaks though. Needle is hanging just under the mid point, which is lower than before.

The 93-94 computer will need to go through several engine start-up cycles, after having the power disconnected, before the idle will stabilize. To speed up the process, get the engine warm and shut it off for about 30 seconds and then re start it. Wait about 30 seconds til the idle settles and shut it off again. Repeat this process several times and each cycle will bump the idle up a bit til it gets to where it needs to be.

Thanks! That's good to know. It was rough when I first started it, but it's already running better. AC is back to what it was before now as well. No sludge in the radiator or in the system at all. Inside of the old hoses looked pretty good too. Plan on flushing again tomorrow before filling with Toy Red.
