Ok, I thought you put a new one in and it failed.

They are all made in china, I have had a couple that did not work out of the box.

I was too lazy to replace the thermostat. I didn't want to spend the money on it, nor did I want the truck out of commission any longer than it already was

Well, at the time the old one was doing its job, so there was not real reason to.

Did you ever get the oil problem fixed?

Hurry up - wanna see a blowed up crapper!

I just got back from the junkyard. Good trip, picked up a pair of air horns to add to the single one on my GMC, a hot water shut off valve (project for the Ford) and an electric fam out of a Crown Vic - gonna try it on the Ford and probably do a write up if there is anyone interested.

I can't find the damn cable, but I will put thoes up when I can.

It blew a 4"x 2" chunk off of it, I had to glue it back on so it would work.

I have 2 vids, the first one we did it with the lid open and the water got all over us, the walls, ect.

The second time we closed the lid and all the force went down, breaking it.
