    Got some of the wiring back on the motor, coolant routed need to go back up town to get another fitting in the morning. Cat sold me wrong gasket hopefully that'll work. Blah 90$ more bolts and 110 in pipe and fittings today

    .... hey guess who been chasing leaks and replacing gaskets all day... this guy lmao all new hoses just letting truck run hot to see what leaks pop up. Front oil cooler gasket is bad ordered a new one of them. Better to find them now then otr

    Any objections to how I'm running my coolant lines?

    I assume one for the bunk and one for the cab heat.
    Where do they come back to?

    Those taps are a godsend if A/C system is weak or you spring a heater hose or core leak.. on many of my older trucks I’d shut taps off in the morning and turn back on in the evening if it was too cool or foggy..

    Yupp every coolant line i have will have one. Been f'ed before middle of Washington. I still have one on the back head i will be getting to hopefully next week. That's the cab heat line. Ordered some barb fittings so i can run new lines to. I'm getting really close to being able to drive it and it's bothering me to no end
