Went to go start my service truck this evening, and the starter spun but wouldn’t engage. So I tapped it with a hammer, then all it’d do was click. I unbolted it, pulled it down, and found out that it was just an insanely loose connection… maybe I should learn to pay attention…
Last night I put a radiator and coolant filter, as well as precharged coolant, in the service truck. I was getting up to 200-215*, so not hot by any means, but I was just a bit afraid that in 100* weather that original radiator might not cut it… Plus I wanted to put the SCA coolant and coolant filter on, and since my local Napa gives me such massive discounts, I figured to just do it all at once.
I think my thermostat opens late, however from my understanding, the cold weather package came with a higher temp thermostat. I did not replace the thermostat as it didn’t seem to be faulty. I do have two spares in the truck though… so if the need should arise, I could swap it out. It doesn’t seem to get above 200* now, in 60* weather, stop and go driving at full throttle, plenty high RPMs, now that I replaced the radiator.
My coolant filter doesn’t seem to be sealed up properly, I think I might have overtightened the filter just a touch…
