What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

[MrMarty51]

Yeah, that is a nice looking unit.
I want to get the decals for the hood, but, the hood has a waverly affect to it so I need to get a different one of those first.

Yup. Thay aint too mush money so I should just get them and have them here. Auto salvage has several GMT 400s in the yard and I am sure a good hood. Nust need to get off a my dead @s and get out there and checkum out.
I do like the looks of some of the low profile hood scoops, I have looked over My hood and, the waveys is outside of a hood scoops limits.

We have many boneyards in SoCal and no rust problems. I can usually find same color doors and hoods, but rarely can I find a hood now where the clear coat is not peeling off. I can find straight, but not clear coat clean.

Clear coat:
That stuff that peels up in the desert day 2 of owning any vehicle.

 

[Chewy1576]

[93detroit]

Decided we didn't like the shrubs in front of the house a couple weeks ago...so we cut them down.... Didn't think this through..now there's stumps in front of the house...nope that don't look good...tried digging them out, but that was to much like work...sooooo, screw it hook the truck to them...couple hours and a helpful state trooper later and there out...( He blocked traffic so I could back in the road pulling them .) Gonna attach pics before and after.

Took the K3500 over to the Rainey Day Repair shop and got the A/C system charged. He injected some dye and replaced the quick connect schrader valves. See how long it’ll pump cold.

I was in question about the Kennedy Diesel spin on fan clutch not kicking in when engine temps was hitting 210 degrees. He said 210 is an okay temp, He also stated that He knows of 6.5s tat run on a pull at 220 degrees and no engine damage.
We discussed the fan clutch, He explained that the underhood temp has to hit about 185 for the spring to engage the clutch and the fan.
Okay, thats peace of mind.

It's not totally about ECT. If you combine that with high egts that's not a good combo

I dont remember what the EGTs was running at. I was running empty and not pulling a load. Just some long steep hills.
EGTs must not have been too scary or else I would have remembered the temps it was running.

Fixed a coolant leak and found my oil leak. So after buttoning things up, I cleaned and polished the wheels from the winter grime.
