So what did you do with your truck today?

[Big Bart]

Picked up a bucket of generic 15w40, a filter, and a gallon of 75w140 Amsoil severe gear oil. Not a cheap day today

Bearings are supposed to be here tomorrow, let's hope there aren't any surprises along the way!

Wishing you the best!

My radiator sprung a leak. Ordered and just received a Champion. (There are no notable radiator shops in Rapid City, SD) I'm trying to decide if I should replace a bunch of stuff as long as I have the radiator out. How do you test the fan clutch?

I have all the belts and hoses.

If you spin it and it keeps spinning, it's bad. It should stop when you stop.

With that in mind , I'll save the cash and leave it alone. Thanks.

Yeah, money is hard to come by. If you see any, let me know.

I'll pick some off the tree in back.

I would also change out the coolant if you did not plan to. Suggest a SCA coolant like Fleet Charge.

When you do your upper and lower hoses you should also do the two heater hoses and your tranny cooler hoses if you have an auto. (Perhaps you already bought them.)

I would also do the thermostat as it is a wear item. Only use a Motorcraft one.

Yesterday everyone got a good scrub down, replaced the hitch on my dad's crew cab and installed convex mirrors. Today used my dad's crew cab to go have some fun.

I helped a friend install a flat bed on his truck this afternoon. It's not entirely finished. There's some lights that need to be replaced and some wiring that needs to be redone, but my part's over. I got a pair of frame mounted hold down brackets for the front of a slide in camper as payment. The park brake cable was run through the brace on one and I cut a slot in it to remove it, but I can weld it back together at work.

Thanks Bart.

I didn't think of the heater hoses. No worry about tranny hoses, I've got a manual.

I just replaced the thermostat and was putting the new belts on when I found that my Alt belt was too short. Since that one goes on first, I'm going to have to wait putting stuff back together.

I hate you right now.

We are STILL having the coldest, wettest spring and early summer on record. I have TWO heaters going!

HOT!!! You haven't seen HOT!!! It was 97F today, and probably 90+° humidity, luckily I was delivering out of a truck with AC. I feel for the UPS guys, except I know what they get paid. I thought I was going to die when I was out of the truck, but since I've lived in NW Florida my whole life I know how to chew air fast enough to keep my oxygen levels up. But really, the hinges look great! You'll have to retrain yourself to closing your door now that it won't sag.
