Looks like you were up to signal peak. How are you liking those tires so far. On my Dodge they grip in the rain up here in PNW. So far they are wearing slower than the Duratrac’s I ran before.
Yes, twice last year. Once solo and once with all the kids. The tires were great in what rain we did have and better on the ice and snow compared to the M/T's. I would get squirrelly with those.
 
Thank you.

~Forney brass hand brush, small and large
~PJ1 Super Cleaner
~Shop Vac
~Razor blade scraper for gasket on block
~Hours and hours of patiently scrubbing and a few cuss words

I will clean again when tape comes off and scrub the block Iron to a final state. I had a handful of extremely dense carbon spots that I took a VERY dull flat blade screwdriver to. I would gently apply pressure to fracture those areas, then follow up with the vacuum, brush and cleaner again. There was no way they would have come off, had I not done so.

How many cans of pj1?

Dang, you broke the piggy bank a couple months ago? Gett’n it done “while you’re in there”. Makes sense to me. I should have replaced my fan I suppose as it has around 300k on it. It didn’t seem brittle and isn’t cracked so…. back on it went.

One of the blades has a nick. While it has always been there, I figured it will be getting taxed more with the heavier weight oil in the clutch. To add to that, parts availability keeps slipping away and getting more expensive, so I see it as a good investment. Plastics fail.
 
Love seeing these new OEM parts. Your truck is going to love it all. What I don’t love? Peeling the friggin stickers off the rad hoses.
Goof Off...
 
Thought, the stock rad was not available. Is it a 2 or 3 row? Is there any manufacturing name or markings on it? I just started during research on this & trying to learn. I see the foam, I need to do that to mine.

Yes, still available.

What tires are these? I ask because I run duratracs and they don't have the size I want when I upgrade next. Need like a 295/75/17

Extraction sockets came in and I finally liberated the exhaust manifolds. Cut the studs to fit the sockets.

Derale power steering cooler upgrade. I painted the cooler, used Gates power steering hose for LP side and the Rein HP hose. Once I get the head back on I will finish running the LP lines. Hoses will have braided and spiral abrasion sleeving added to them. *Note: Derale cooler comes with 3/8" NPT inlets NOT 1/4" NPT as advertised online.
