Good job! You are a skilled mechanic and take pride in your work. It's great to hear that it started up and ran good. I'm looking forward to the next run time.

I would tend to agree that running a motor without the cooling system installed is a gamble. If his motive is to just fire the engine up and shut it down in 15 seconds to make sure the motor will lite up then I think he will be fine.

You are flying through this installation. Great job.

I see one piece of firewood on the bottom that looks a little out of place Rick. Maybe you can fix it. Nice job! Did you get dizzy building that stack?

I agree, take the heads to a machine shop would be my first order of business. I know Dive Dive knows his business, so I'm not one to second guess him, just saying.

What did you pull that out of? It looks like a civilian 6.2 not a J code?

I have been through 4 radiators in 22 years on my M1008 The best one so far has been the aluminum with the plastic tanks. All the other ones were the 4 row copper and metal tanks. The aluminum through AutoZone came with a lifetime guarantee.

Looks like plenty of moisture penetrated inside. That looks like a lot of work trying to save that beast. That wasn't a pleasant surprise I'll bet.

Get your self a U-tube channel and make some cool videos. I'll sign up and subscribe. Thumbs up.

You're going to have a fantastic truck when you're finished. I don't think you'll ever sell it, but it will be a valuable and desirable truck. Have you decided on the motor yet?

That is spot on. I never even thought about that. Good thinking Man.

I'm not sure you can use the gauge as an accurate assessment of the tank level. When a tank is completely full, at least on my gauge, the marker gauge measures well past the last full point mark on the gauge.

You're doing a great job on everything you have done so far. Sometimes the unexpected happens. Push forward, put it behind you and move on.

Not as many people around anymore that turn those giant brake drums where I live.
