If you knew half of what you were doing, you could have got it done in 30 minutes

No, if it hadn't been on there for 15 years it might have gone easier. 1.5 hours of that was beating on a crescent wrench trying to get the dang fan off. It finally took a two handed swing that I was sure was gonna hit the fan blade and snap one off to break the fan loose.

Now the dang lower radiator hose won't go back on. Brought it inside to heat up and expand hopefully.

 

[Tony]

I would say you can use my heater to make it a bit warmer up there, but you would need the truck to haul it lmao. Catch 22

 

[callsign4223]

Well, so much for that. Got it all back together and it's still pouring out coolant.

 

[Tony]

I friggin hate it when that happens.

Go to AutoZone and get a radiator pressure tester. Fill the truck up with water and put about 14lbs on the system and find out where the water is coming from. My guess is a heater hose, rad hose, or you pinched the gasket. You don't want to hear my other ideas... They require a new engine.

 

[callsign4223]

Hoses looked good when I had the water pump off. Really worried it might be a head gasket or something.

 

[callsign4223]

Don't need to pressurize the system, it comes out just from air pressure when I fill the radiator.

 

[Tony]

and where is the water coming out from?

 

[callsign4223]

can't tell, it seems to be halfway up the engine on the front, but can't see it actually coming out. Too much stuff in the way.

 

[Tony]

What motor do you have in that thing? 4.3?

 

[callsign4223]

Yes..

 

[Tony]

Does your water pump look like this?

 

[callsign4223]

Sorry for the thread jack. Yes, I did finally get my truck all back together and running correctly. For you gear heads out there turns out I had misaligned the water pump gaskets and it was leaking around the gaskets.

 

[Tony]

What the HELL are you talking about "thread jack"??? That is the whole point of this thread is to jack it!!!

Oh look, a fly....

 

[cn63bug]

30 degrees is more than cold enough for me. I miss AZ at times...

 

[Tony]

I'm not sure what it is over there in Tn, but here in Ok, it's 19. Hottest it's been all day.

 

[callsign4223]

When I went to move my cars around I almost fell on my arse trying to walk back up the driveway. I have been on skating rinks that weren't this slick.

 

[Stambo]

Hmmm, I got a little sun burnt today.

 

[Slobberdog]

mmmmh whats the SUN, cant remember what it looks like,

 

[idon'tknow!]

BRRR... not going anywhere today, not unless I have to it's 11 right now, if it warms up I might fly.
