dude, it's been almost 10 minutes...wheres our update? I mean gosh in this age of instant information you should for the consideration all of us strangers have a webcam on your head and be doing a running commentary, or at the last updating your Facebook every 2 minutes with your mood, relationship status and the progress of the repair in addition to "tweeting" a play by play of the repair.



sorry, I am in a "funny" mood this morning, guess it's a Friday thing. Hope things are turning out well for you!!

I recently tried to do the flush and fill on my truck but could not remove the block plugs. I ended up flushing with more water flushes to try and compensate for the coolant that I could not drain from the block. That being said, when I filled back up all I got in was about 5 gallons, leading me to believe the block holds about 3 gallons of coolant. So unless you drained the block your experience and coolant requirements pretty much mirror my experince not draining the block. HTH.

Could that be from the oil left in the engine? I would put pressure on the coolant cap 15-17lbs & see if it leaks down. Do you think you might have torn one of the o-rings putting it back together. IDK just thinking out loud.
