Projects Had some cooling issues

hello,to you
I been having some cooling issues with the desert express.
Other than that, it runs great and it's been terrorizing Sin City's streets and freeways..
Look what I found yesterday thi

 

I HATE it when that happens!

 

So, THAT's where the other socks go...!

 

Oh ohhh, someone have some 'splainen to do!

 

Looks like a rag doesn’t it ?
Been in there a little while also .

Neat truck. Glad you found the problem.
Have you checked your front sway bar bushings recently?

That would do it!

I use blue painters tape over everything that I want to temporarily block off.
Highly visible even in the darkest of engine bays. And can easily leave notes on it with a black permanent marker. 'Prime oil first!' and other lovely notes I leave to myself.

Might want to flush out the radiator a few times and make sure you don't have rag bits stuck in the tubes.

 

Yeah..but I have priorities,go fast first..
It rides real nice for needing a suspension rebuild

 

Yeah my old wife beater!

 

Yeah I have to flush the whole system i guess,,vinegar and water should do it right?

 

You don’t come across that everyday

 

Sock it to me....

 

Yep, pick it up premixed at CVS.....

I did that ONCE! Plugged the hell out of my new radiator . Like Mad Mike said, only tape now.

 

I’ve seen/heard of rags in the engine, never in the cooling system, now I did leave a plastic plug in a radiator once, er, I mean my friend did...

 

Run 100% vinegar for a few days.
Drain it and do it again until your coolant is clear. Cheap solution.
Works perfectly.
Then run some baking soda for a while to neutralize it.
You’ll smell like a roach coach going down the road.

 

so, motor temp was good before it decided to puke that duct tape (?) out?

 

Haha thanks!

Yeah surprisingly it was good.
It was a piece of my old wifebeater

 

Guys around here might not know thats a T shirt.
