All the times I switched mine out I just ran it in by hand until it got really tight. I didn't want to compress the crush any more. It's been working for three years now.
sounds like it just needs the coolant topped off. The water pump tends to make itself pretty obvious when its gone bad as it will leak out the weep hole.
I measured the threads that stuck past the nut. As I tightened I could feel where it was togt and started to add some crush so I stopped. Been over two years like that and no problems.
It's been a while since I bought it but I think it was around 10.00 a gallon cheaper than transynd. I had to buy it in bulk as it only came in 1 gallon jug, 12 gallon or 55 gallon drum. I bought the little barrel and split it with another guy.
I had one on my truck for a bit not long after I bought in in 07. It was a fun tuner. Woke the truck up over stock. Nothing compared to efi live but you gotta start somewhere.
I will be driving right thru there on Sunday. I can stop and pay for it an drive it home as I come back thru. Let me know if you pass on it. I would love to have a crew cab
I would be posting a thread showing off the new truck I just bought not one asking if I should. That sounds like a great work truck to drive to keep the miles and wear off the good truck.
I think I just figured it out. I looked back thru your post history and if you aren't wade himself you sure post like him.
A real know it all pric*.
And now you are straight up pimping for his shop.
Keep your bullshit on compd. you already muddied up the thread about Brett's truck causing...
If you need it and can wait a couple days, I can drop it in the mail tomorrow. I can trim it to fit in a small flat rate box. Just send it back when you're done.
