That s**** Brad. Will you just change the oring? Or the whole pump?
I'm just very frustrated now. J-L is going to spend a few hours today with her aunt so it would have been perfect for me to do the water pump, it is pouring buckets!!

Well dang Jim just put the front end in the garage. I take it that is not a possibility?

I am putting my exhaust on today! Yeah!

Dang Mark, I am really hungry now! That looks awesome. Just coffee so far. Maybe something when Lynn gets home from church.

It would be to tight of a fit. I'd have to climb out the window to get out. My ex had a jeep grand cherokie and that was pretty tight. The mirrors got tapped a couple of times.

The 2nd stall is full of furniture that I'm trying to decide to sell or keep. Might be cheaper to sell it then when we move, less stuff to haul down south.

I ordered the MBRP 4" Aluminized from Clay. I painted it all high temp black last weekend. I was going to delete the muffler but could not find anybody local that works with 4" pipe. The local truck shop had just a few days earlier sold off their parts business. Doh!

I only have about 50K on mine but I think for peace of mind I will change out my T-stat, housing, hoses and upgrade my coolant this summer. Not sure on the pump though.

If you install the muffler "backwards" it's supposed to give it a bit more sound.

Extra hands are nice. Especially when doing the downpipe. Put everything in loose all the way back then adjust and tighten up from the top all the way back.

Smart move! I thought that I had an adjustable that wouldtake the fan off but that one is in FL. I'm wondering if I can just take the four bots off the "hub" and remove the fan as an assembly?
