rylee144 Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 Got my coolant swapped out today. Cleaned up some oil from all the blow by. Got a new air filter, the other needs alot of cleaning. It was soaked with oil. New parts list after tinkering: Spark plugs Cap and rotor Wires Battery My battery is 5 years old. When I turn on anything in the cab I can see the voltage gauge drop. It runs at 10 most of the time. Thinking on swapping the temperature plug on the block. Not sure the gauge is correct. Fan isnt kicking on since I went to the 195° thermostat.

rylee144 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 It appears new coolant was very needed. I drove to the dump and now am waiting in line at idle, still at 210° and its 85 outside. Success! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylee144 Posted August 2, 2020 Author Share Posted August 2, 2020 Got my plugs, wires, cap and rotor in. Plugs were over due it seems. Handy trick for retrieving and starting plugs is a little piece of tubing. Then I noticed this little rubber grommet crumbled on the value cover.

rylee144 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 That rubber grommet crumbled inside the valve cover. I didnt want that chunk working it's way down so I pulled the cover and got a new gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylee144 Posted September 12, 2020 Author Share Posted September 12, 2020 Building a truck on a budget sucks... the wife's budget lol. Another set back. Came out to a flat tire this morning on tires with 80% tred. Bought them used last year so no warranty. One tire 250 bucks. Good looking tire tho haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylee144 Posted September 13, 2020 Author Share Posted September 13, 2020 I wish I took a photo. A rock smashed between the treads and made a cut about 2 inches long. No idea where I would have picked that up at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rylee144 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Not much of an update. Silly how long things take with kiddos and honey do lists. Had some member advice help with a tricky bolt. Finally got it off with the right tool. Started grinding on the 8.8. The welds on the inside will be tricky. Got the steering components off and ready for new end links.
