Things to fix before wnter

[jmiller]

What do you need to do before winter?

Here is my list:
Check why the starter hangs and runs on a no start and the key is released
Check the glow pugs

Leaks:
Front cover / water pump - oil and coolant leaks
Oil cooler line fittings

Brakes:
Front pads and rotors
ABS module

Snow Plow:
Mount light bar for plowing
Straighten snow plow frame
Replace rusted out section of the plow blade
Re powder coat the plow

a starter that runs on can be caused by low voltage.

Looks like leak from the front cover came from behind the water pump.

The gasket looks like it shrunk or crinkled, allowing oil to run out.

I've always used Permatex form a gasket on these types of low temp, low pressure gaskets. It didn't seem to stick and hold well. This time was a thin coat of ultra black rtv.



Next is the other oil leak. I need to get my replacement oil cooler (DAMM Deer) once Burning Oil returns from vacation. I'll check out the starter too.
