    98 Fuel Filter Question

    On the stock filter, looking down at it, the lines are towards the front of the engine - which is in from the tank, and out to the engine? I *think* I traced the one on the right going towards the IP. Andy

    That "quick disconnect" on the thermostat housing

    Just got off the phone with them... About 140 or so for the entire assembly, thermostats and all, plus 15 give or take for shipping, and I'd get it in two days...I'm probably going this route. Edit - the stealer gets $216 for just the lower housing that bolts to the heads. Then...

    That "quick disconnect" on the thermostat housing

    I saw Matuva post that one a couple of posts up, but I'm afraid of tapping it in what's left of the fitting, only to drive bits of the schitty pot metal into the cooling system. I think I'll check the parts stores near me for the Lisle tool anyway ):h edit - one good thing did come out...

    Is the hose 5/8, or 3/4? I thought it was 3/4... Andy

    That "quick disconnect" on the thermostat housing

    Thanks Ferm...The Chevy dealers around here are sorely lacking in 6.5 parts, but the Ace hardware has a good brass section, so I'm improvising ):h And I'm a cheap bastid too. Andy

    That "quick disconnect" on the thermostat housing

    Is where the coolant leak is. Looks to me like 1" pipe thread going into the t-stat housing. Is that correct? Anything wrong with replacing it with a 3/4 hose barb-NPT adapter and running new hose to the rear seat heat T? Andy

    Cooling system issue?

    98 6.5 K1500 'burb. Left the truck running after a 5 mile trip on Tuesday morning, got in and the temp gauge was over between 210* and the next major hashmark (235*?) and the rear heat was blowing cold. Felt the upper radiator hose and while it was hot, it was also soft, so I opened the...
