Behind the intake

 

Looks great man! I am liking this build a lot. When are you going to fire it up?

 

thanks man. looking to fire it up within the next few weeks.

relocating the battery,and wiring the efans this weekend

 

Nice!! I really like the coil re-location.

 

Looking good!

 

so after a chain of "life events" happening (good events btw) im back on the road to getting this truck on the street.

i have just about everything wrapped up besides rear calipers and a air in the coolant passage problem. ive filled the tank to the cold fill line with distilled water and turned the truck on. i let it heat up to roughly 210 to get the thermostat to open. however i do have 160 thermo. so it opens and i fill water going through the top hose while i squeeze it, but the overflow is just spewing water out as im doing this..im an idiot when it comes to coolant systems and can use all the help i can get..

 

Leave the truck off. Open the coolant jug. Remove the small hose that goes to the heads near the intake. Fill coolant jug with water/antifreeze until you have water coming out. Reinstall the hose then fill the jug to cold mark. Turn the defrost on high, temp setting to max hot. Let the truck run until it gets the rest of the air out and begins to operate at normal temps.

 

Right now I have my efans on a switch inside the truck until I can get them tuned in . Should I turn them on from the get go ?

 

Awesome truck man. Great job with the build.
