Oh, so do I.

I also posted a welcome to him at that site.

He'd have made a great addition to an already superb forum here.

I remember the six being just over a hundred bucks.

I'm the one doing the green chemistry experiment in his radiator, so I didn't buy the Rotella.

Just got back from the auto parts store and picked up 5 gal of the regular old green prestone coolant and 5 distilled water,have to pick up additive Mon. Was thinking about going with the elc but I think I want to learn a bit more about it before I switch.

Water pump, billet housing ,and 203 degree thermostat came today, Borrowed strap wrench, torque wrench ,made 1 7/8 inch tool for fan ...bought water pump/thermostat gasket silicone, new clamps, new hoses.

I think I am ready for the install tomorrow ,rained out today since I have to do it outside... 62 degrees the other day but 34 degrees tomorrow and maybe snow tonight ! Oh well, Its gotta get done !!!
And the most important thing Springer Pop is I got the ladder !!!!! Thanks for all your help everyone
I HAD to become a supporter since this site is fantastic and you guys are all awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoss,

Yea, it might be a little harder for you to change the pump, but you can WALK under the engine to change the CPS and do an oil change!

Well, almost....
