Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

ok

how come

every 4.0l i have ever owned, used a small amount of coolant? everything else has been fine. i have put plenty of miles on em and it never got worse.

BUT EVERYTIME I POP THE CAP IM LOW ON COOLANT.

well this time i appear to need a waydiator, but it got me thinkin

I noticed this on the one out of tinky winky.

What I finally found was that I had a small leak coming from the thermostat housing ONLY during the first 5 minutes of start up when it was dead cold.

I can't remember if it still got low on coolant every now and then or not.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

yea, so my jeep has been mint. never leaked a drop of coolant. it was in the garage at work today, i pop the cap to check the level and its actually fine. but i notice a drop of coolant on the floor. i get the pressure tester and my radiator pisses coolant out at 5 lbs of pressure

WHAT THE EFFFFF.

i hope it makes it to north kingstown and back today. i need to get parts for my bike so i can ride that around

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Copper/brass or aluminum rad?

If it's copper/brass I can likely solder that up for you in 20min or so.

Giving up on the 440 swap.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

Damn.

Good luck with that... I have those in the 96 and the 98, probably going to throw the one from the 96 in the MJ and the almost-new brass rad I have into the 96.

EDIT: ogod. Just accidentally consumed several grams of salt. Lesson learned, when at the end of a bag of pretzels DO NOT upend it to get the small remaining bits.

If I was just buying a truck to avoid AAA I would get something like this http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/1873157316.html Much easier to drive and store.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I usually buy my discs from harbor freight, but they don't last that long. Still at 70 cents a disc it's not bad.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

i'm not looking forward to having to make some clean cuts with my grinder. oxy/ace is so much faster and easier. too bad it makes a huge mess. hey colin, want to try out your torch supah dupah torch on my doubler plate? i have a perfect use for it.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread

I'm bailing on HF wheels until I run out of those ones you just linked at a bad time.

$7.99/10 for HF ones that are made in Russia and warn about cancer causing chemicals vs $5.90/10 for Heleta ones that don't - no contest.

Their knotted wire wheels are a damn good price too, less than half what I paid at home depot last time.

EDIT: Anthony, it's not tough once you get used to it. I did some real nice straight cuts using my angle grinder on the 1/2" plate I used for my U-bolt plates.
