Agree with everyone else..... clean out the stack and stuff thats between them. I had dirt, pine needles, bugs, etc in between my stack but it looked clean from the engine side and from the grille side.
After cleaning out my stack, and with the cooling mods in my sig, I have no problems at...
I've added a seperate electric pump back by the tank and a seperate spin on fuel filter as well. I did leave the old FFM in place too because of the water in fuel sensor and the fuel heater.
Quite a few guys have done the same thing in one way or another.
That really stinks that it was the wrong part. On the plus side, you do have the right one on the way from Leroy. Hopefully it gets to you tomorrow and you won't have anymore problems.
TTS is a great resource and the best group of guys I have run across on the internet.
Hopefully that takes care of your problem and you don't have any other issues, of any sort, during the rest of your travels.
Listening to the radio last night and Johnny Cash came on singing "I've been everywhere". Guess who I thought of? :D
Your truck has a serpentine belt right? Are you a little low on antifreeze maybe? I figured maybe it boiled some out when it was running hot. If you added water to it after you got to your parents, maybe you have an air bubble in the system? Just throwing some ideas out there.
I have the same...
Is it possible that you put the fan blade onto the new clutch the wrong way? In other words with the curves of the blades pointing in the opposite direction? That would be trying to push air toward the radiator rather than pull it through?
Thermostat - You should be fine with the 195. But you...
Since you've documented the fault numbers that were stored already....
I would clear all codes, and see what comes back. If it's the same exact codes (cylinders) again that points to something specific to those cylinders (like an injector). If balance codes come back, but for different...
254,000 on mine when it blew a head gasket, but it didn't hurt anything else inside the engine. The blown head gasket was my fault due to a hot chip, higher than factory boost pressures, original gaskets and factory head bolts. Before that happened it ran great and had a little blow by.
I...
Fancy gap, and on north up I-77 is very pretty in the fall and has great views of the valleys around it. When I was stationed in SE GA we would go right through there to visit family in OH. There are two tunnels, as you get close to WV, that go through the moutain. My girls always looked forward...
I like hayden, but can't comment either way on Imperial..... haven't had any experience with them. Rock auto will ship "overnight" but it's going to be expensive and you probably won't get it till tuesday or wednesday now anyway. The order would go through Monday, ship tuesday, then you get it...
Should have 4 nuts that hold the fan clutch to the water pump. Take those off and the fan and clutch will come off of the truck together in one piece. Once they're out on the ground, there will be 4 or 5 bolts holding the fan blade onto the clutch.
See what the parts store has in stock, but...
Best of luck to you Bill. I am sure you'll be fine and that you will have a great trip. I really envy you, being able to take off and just go across country turning whichever way you feel like at that moment. Doing that very same thing has been a dream of mine for years.
This pilgrimage does...
This link is a good place to start. Check/clean all of your grounds too while you are doing the rest of the stuff.

Looks like you'll be ok..... Weatherman says it should stop raining around 10 or 11 and be cloudy the rest of today with a 10% chance of rain. Tomorrow looks pretty good too, high of 81 and only a 20% chance of rain.
Good luck on your trip.
