Well I turned in for today. I was squeezing the lower hose and nothing. Litterally the coolant was filled to the radiator cap and I can pull off the upper hose and not a drop. I can put my hand into the upper hose port in the radiator and its bone dry. Either the upper tank has 2 chambers or the...

Here it is, co worker said he bought it from a lady, and her dad had passed away. Has a battery shutoff under the passenger seat, and a kill switch under the dash. Sent from my SM-S918U using Tapatalk

I believe I bought Tom's old M54A2

I am wrapping up the headgasket job I did on my M54A2, I thoroughly flushed the radiator with a hose, replaced every hose on the engine, flushed the engine real good with water, drained everything and now I am pouring coolant into a empty system, and it will only take 2 gallons. It's...

I'm in the same boat right now. I just did headgaskets, waterpump, and thermostat, and would like to replace all the hoses. I have taken all the hoses off. Would be nice to get them in silicone.

Thanks for all the replies. I have the intake, exhaust manifolds, rocker arms, injectors, valve covers, and all misc stuff off at the moment but I bought a 7/8" Snapon crowfoot socket but it's too thick to get on the injector side head nuts. Thinking I'll have to either destroy the socket...

Yes, it has a LDS 465-1A

Nice truck, and thanks for the lead on the CARC substitute paint.

Does anyone have the thread pitch? Hoping I can order ARP studs for my M54A2.
