Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
.
Started prepping to replace the water pump today. Decided the radiator and fans needed to come out so I started draining it and unhooking lines and hoses. The goal was not to make a mess. With that in mind I decided to move the truck out of the shop onto the gravel to remove the radiator and pump, this way any coolant in the block could just run out there. OK! I hop in the cab and fire it up, pull it into reverse and didn't get that immediate thump into gear...it took me maybe a second to go from I'm gonna move this truck to engine OFF NOW!
...and so now I get to do exactly what I was trying to avoid, and then some!
