does that sh!t smell like oil?

Which doesn't mean much if it is, the previous engine could have had oil in the water, and gotten into the heater core.

that third pic is just funny. I'll have to take a pic at work someday of what we do.

[redcagepatrol]

so should I put Dex-Cool back in or normal coolant?

no - it doesn't smell like oil

[Seth]

I would think dexcool, supposedly there is something in the new motors (seals etc?) that doesnt mix well with green. I am no expert though. You could get a few jugs of the "goes in any car" kind, that way you will always be able to get some at any walmart! At 8 bucks plus a gallon, I would try to figure it out for good first.

[tigweld]

it will do that again if you put dexcool in it just use regular coolant. there is no performance benefit to dexcool.

does that sh!t smell like oil?

from my oil/water mix experimention I have allways found it to look more like a milkshake than a brown froth like his. I also have seen the brown froth dexcool/regular coolant/tapwater mixture type stuff in bryce's radiator in his s-10 just last week.

[BMFScout]

I can't imagine Bryce having maintenance issues with a vehicle!

[tigweld]

yup you know I ain't fixin' his shiat

[Seth]

Interesting

[tigweld]

distilled water is the key

[redcagepatrol]

Get that thing working. It looks like my poop wagon will even make it. <fingers crossed>

Post more pics of your engine bay and details in the gallery when you get time. I'm curious to see how you grouped wires, etc.

David, see the Patrol thread for this, I posted on there by accident and don't feel like re-posting here...

nope - it's just 10 bolts and we don't plan on taking it off very often - just fold it down...

maybe make the next one easily removeable? i can make you some pins when i make mine if you want.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

zinG??!?

Yes please

Although, I doubt we would've taken it off on this trip. It's nice to have for driving to the trail on the "main road". It blocks most of the dust from getting into our faces

[agjohn02]

scott, have you played with the line lock any? is it a check valve or a regular valve? as in, when you lock it then press the brakes does it brake the rear and when you press the brakes then lock it does it keep the front locked?
