Congrats Orin, that is great news!

Afternoon to everyone else.

Truck is working great again, now to put back 600$ for the MBRP exhaust and another 150$ for gauge pod and gauges.

It never ends

I see this mysterious light outside...haven't seen it in several days...anyone got an idea?

FORD RANGER · #**490** (**permalink**) 06-12-2009, 04:46 PM

no i don't really! just going to fix my water leak on the ranger is all. i have the parts and all i need is the truck to get it done! the hot water control valve is leaking and this is the 5th one i installed in the last 5 years!!!!! its starting to get on my nerves!!!

Jack, it that your heater control valve? What does it attach to? You may have a static charge or a stray current on that thing causing electrolysis. A ground wire might solve that problem. Take a voltage reading between battery neg. and your coolant. Anything over .02volts and there is a problem.

Man I missed out on alot today, Congratulation's Orin on the Grandbaby and glad your daughter was fine too. Thank you all for coming by today, I think it's busier when I'm not here!! lol

Good evenning South Carolina, thank you. I took a short time off with the grandson to conk out for a bit and feel a little more human now or at least alive. Talked a little bit ago with with family still there and every thing is going splendid with mother and baby.

I will be returning my grandson this coming Sunday when my daughter is released from the hospital after which things should become a little more quiet around here. I will try to bring him up here a few more times through the summer to help mom and dad out.

I' am digging this grandparent thing more and more all the time.

i 've done that bruce its the valve itself. i've done the eletrolysis and its .01volts so i know its not that. i used to do those on the big rigs. yes its the heater control valve.
i made sure of that! the first 2 were under warranty by ford,1 by carquest and 2 napa.
and they all leak within about a year...and my truck is very well maintained!
no stray voltage otherwise i'd get zapped everytime i got out of the truck. its a leaky valve!
it attaches to the heater core the in and out of the core.

Bdox · #**495** (**permalink**) 06-12-2009, 09:15 PM

So you are saying that the valves are failing, but nothing to do with electrolysis? That's a lot of freaking failures isn't it?
