my weekend so far (1 Viewer)

[retrofive]

Park brakes Saturday and alternator Monday. I don't mind mods or tinkering but outright wrenching with a dead line is no fun. Especially when it's sunny.
Things looking good at this point. Clean out the truck and pack and off we go.

Is it still overheating Ty?

Dunno yet. Drove it to work today, going to try and swing by my parents for a little test. Just frustrated, the fan clutch Kief loaned me seemed better than mine, but after further inspection they seem to be about the same.

My truck hates me. Figured in between jobs I would at least drain the existing rad. ... snap goes the drain plug. I think if I empty my AR on it, it will drain just fine.

pull lower rad hose.
theres only 8 pieces of hardware to pull the rad, quit being a sissy.
