Thankyou, that sounds like a plan.

It was only in a couple places. I used a pic and a wire brush. I looked in the water jacket with a mirror and couldn't see anything. When I get it back together, I intend to flush it a couple times now that the pump should move some water. One thing bad, I twisted the shut down sensor off. It...

Ok, so I removed the pump and it was clogged also. For anyone seeing this thread in the future, there is a video on utube that shows removing the pump. In the video, he removes the outside sheet metal and alternator and fan to get at the pump. You do not have to do this! I had the pump w/fan out...

Ok, I got a new thermostat and gasket. I figured I would remove the top hose to make it easy to work on. This is what I found. I've heard if you mix the new orange coolent with green, you could get a gel. This stuff was like wax with crystals in it. There wasn't as much in the thermostat...

Thankyou

Yea, I like keeping good used spares. In the case of thermostats, I don't know if new is better. It is the one item I have bought new over the years that has been defective more than any other. Now I am in the habit of testing the new one before installing. Ps, how do you guys quote someone? I...

I will test the thermostat with hot water, but I'm going to have another on hand before I remove it. The gauge seems to indicate correct at boiling water. (In a pan) The hoses/radiator never got hot when the gauge read 240. So that leads me to believe it's the thermostat. Maybe the pump, but...

Thankyou all, So I tested the temp sensor and it seems to be accurate. I believe the thermostat is stuck. I will get one soon. The other problem is the "hightemp shut down" sensor. It appears it doesn't work. If I touch the two leads together, it gives the red light up front and the generator...

Thankyou. Do I need a gasket or will the make-a-gasket stuff work here? As far as testing the gauge, is it just a matter of sticking it in boiling water and see what it reads?

I just bought a Mep802a. I was going over it and fixing a few things. I decided to drain and flush the coolent. I pulled both hoses and ran water through the rad both ways till clear. Then I attempted to do the same on the engine. It would not allow water through either way. I got thinking maybe...

When I click on this link, it takes a few minutes to come up. (No big deal) But when I scroll down looking for a HEMTT, I get to about page 125 and it goes blank and kicks me completely off the Internet. When I reopen, the long download starts over. It comes up and I start scrolling again and I...

As I understand it, Marquee is the better paint. Is this right or is it just differnt? The quarts I got were just for checking the color. I plan to buy the Marquee. That comes to my next question. How much do I need? My truck is the size of a big pickup.

Today I sprayed out some of the green and black. The green looked really dark in the can, but it looks nice on the piece of aluminum I sprayed. I'm very happy with the black too. The only issue I ran into was when I sprayed the black on the green, it had a little splatter. I want a "faded"...

Ok, I went to HD and asked for a sample of Bahr Marquee in two colors. I wanted to spray some out to make sure of the color. The two colors I asked for were 34094 (green) and 37030 (black). The woman in the paint section explained they offer paint in small jars (maybe a pint), quarts, gallons...

Wow, nice. Did you practice much before doing those trucks? On a side note, what is "parsec"?

So is it the general consensus that the HF hplv sprayer is adequate for doing a paint job with the Behr? How about doing the "free hand" camo?

I have the same thread here. Maybe it will work better. https://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/57-78-96-build-forum-builds-only/197652-molasses-project-92-a.html Im using a Cummins 4BT with a manual body C6. The first page of the build thread is in 2011. I started about a year before that.

Thankyou, I have a build thread here. https://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/general-4x4-discussion/2017234-amphibious-hemtt.html I am thinking satin. When you say "military black", do you mean the "aircraft black" listed in the link you posted above.

That's a long download. After it's done, I scroll down. Around page 145, (of 400) it shuts off my computer. Strange, it did it three times. Of course, 145 is not down to the HEMTT's yet.

I wasn't sure if this project would be considered blasphemy on this site.
