howdy! drunk and REALLY hating life, as usual. place seems "lively"....

 

freakin DAN. Was about to tell you to come post on FTE on FB lollers

 

I decided to add a second radiator. Mine front radiator is prone to clogging with mud, and motor is doing good to stay cool with a clean radiator up front. This seams to be working perfectly. My temp never leaves 180. With one fan on in the back.

 

Not really a tool or part you built yourself.....

 

Woops........

 

Also, if you "need" two radiators and fans to keep your truck cool then you have a tune or bearing issues.

Absolutely no reason why one properly sized radiator and one electric fan won't keep 6-700hp+ cool if everything is in spec and tuned correctly.

 

The setup works good for me. I use the truck all the time , and would probably drive it everyday if it didnt get 4 mpg. It annoying to overheat after hitting something deep because the front radiator is packed full of mud, this eliminates that with out taking up hardly any bed space.

 

I think i need a new radiator in mine.... it is probably 20 years old...

 

i needed i pitman arm puller and didn't have one, made a pickle fork instead.

 

thats one way to do it

 

Since we don't have a chit chat thread.....

Anyone have a set of impact swivel sockets? If so what brand? I've been looking at Grey Pneumatics 14pc set or just buying the sizes I need/want from Snap On.

 

Pin and ball or universal joint? I'd say you cant beat matco's pin and ball. I've got 8-22mm 3/8" DR and 5/16-7/8 3/8" DR, theyre pretty damn good.

 

I tack welded mine on the pins when they worked loose. Holds up to my dewalt 1/2" drive electric impact gun. Not sockets but just a universal

 

Pin and ball.

Not a fan of Matco. If Im going to buy foreign tools I'd rather buy cheap(er) foreign tools.


73, you have GP swivel impacts?



At this point I only see a need for 5/8, 3/4, 13/16, 15/16 and 1 1/8 sockets. (7/16-3/4 bolts) I'm not sure how much I actually need them as much as I just want them hence the reason I'm even asking about a cheap brand.

 

My swivel impact sockets at Snapon. They are pricey, but I wanted something that would last.
