Ok, so I managed to get a housing, got it yesterday, and installed it. After that, I took it out for a test drive for about 30 minutes, it still hits 220 quite fast and don't seem to be cooling any better at 195 degrees, my next plan is to change the radiator since I already have an aluminum...
Yep, I was going to do that until I realized I scraped the surface where the thermostat gasket would go at.
And don't worry, disasters are addicted to me 😂
I'm going to disagree with some of the opinions here, I think a humvee would be a decent choice. I don't particularly have the ambulance top version, but I have the radio communication top and it does good enough on the highway with the 4-speed overdrive, "Typically I drive 60-65mph on the...
How does the housing come off? I figured that if I removed both of the bolts from both sides, it'll pop off, but the side closer to the driver side don't want to come off
If I had the housing off, I'll be able to get my torch on it better and have a better grip with some pliers on a vice
That's going to be one of the things I try, my next plan is to cut a slot with a Dremel in it and try a flathead on a breaker bar. If that fails, Im going to to sqaure it off and try a pipe wrench
Today I went to install the thermostat on the humvee and realize yesterday that I snapped the bolt head off, now I just got threads sticking out. The question is, can the whole thermostat housing on the engine be changed easily?
Taking off the broken bolt is the last thing I want to do; I...
Hmm, I wonder how the 7 speed spicer would fit, I believe it has a 0.73 overdrive. There's one that's for sale currently close by me
It has a SAE 1 but I'm sure there's adapters
You can get it registered in Vermont and have the registration/plate transferred over to your state. Using it as a daily is going to be a whole different thing though, it can be done but its going to take a lot of work. I'm currently in the process of trying to make mines a somewhat decently...
Its not a big issue it seems so far, especially since it stops after a few minutes, at the time I wrote this thread I was scared quite a bit since I was at walmart and didn't want the batteries to die and leave me stranded. I'm going to give it a week, and if it stops, I'm not going to worry...
