Salvagedcircuit Posted March 4, 2024 Share Posted March 4, 2024 Hahaha. We all end up with new trucks eventually Nice work! My closed loop system seems to still be working, but I'm keeping a spare heater control valve in the passenger glove box for the inevitable kerflooey.

oleskool Posted May 19, 2024 Author Share Posted May 19, 2024 Well got out of the truck last night but when I shut the door the brake lights came on 😂. Here’s the culprit….. still a pain in the @$$ to replace. I don’t bend like that 😢 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleskool Posted October 3, 2024 Author Share Posted October 3, 2024 Haven’t posted much with life going on. Put the ole girl to work with 2k lbs or top soil for the yard 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oleskool Posted February 11 Author Share Posted February 11 Well the ole girl has smelled like coolant for about 2 months but I could never track down the leak. Finally found it today. The metal T coming from the upper heater core hose / reservoir is almost rusted through. Now to find a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check also the little vacuum actuated valve right behind that, it is plastic and gets brittle with age. I actually watched mine explode when investigating cooling issues.

oleskool Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 Well had some time to fix the coolant leak I’ve been searching for. I could always smell it but it hid itself well. I had to piece it together and find a hard to find connector. So far she’s doing great after the test drive. You can see after god knows how many years the metal diverter t was rusted almost through.

oleskool Posted March 4 Author Share Posted March 4 I had a hard time finding 3/4” to 5/8” molded hose quickly. My plan is to go in and replace the spliced hoses with molded 90 degree 3/4” to 5/8” silicone heater hose but this gets me back up and running for now.
