Where is everyone #5

I love how those older B's sound especially first thing in the morning when you fire em up

 

We're supposed to get like 5+ inches of rain from the remnants of Ida starting tomorrow

 

We drove through part of her around noon yesterday, she was kinda mean, didn't want to play nice at all.

 

Yeah ive found blue bird doesnt have much of a sense of humor. Must be a peterbilt thing

 

What makes you think it's been in a ford? For some reason ford had them mounted slanted back down ... no idea as to why.

 

The last storm that made its way up to jersey a week or so ago was pretty sketchy running with only 7k in the box. It's the other drivers that scare me more than anything

 

Best way to be sure I have no air in the system?

Changed thermostats. Flushed with water and ran to open them to flush everything.

New ones are same number as old ones. Temp rose above previous temps at idle.

The petcock on the upper pipe had coolant at it so I don't think it had much air in it.

Just seemed to set at a higher temp than the old ones did. May just be that it was water only in there vs coolant and water.

Waiting to cool and drain to refill with mix and see what it settles at.

I'd hate to have done all this only for it to run hotter now than before.

 

(1). Engine mounts have it leaning to the right.

(2). Power steering pump is a Ford style.


Ford always seemed to lean the big engines to the passenger side....

 

Friend sent me this pic. He said that the trailer had this hydraulic arm setup to take the boat off and on.

 

They tilt. When it's time to launch the boat is laid back down normally. Keeps em from having to run as oversize by laying them on their side.
