Well.
13/16 for drain valve? You mean on the bottom of the radiator?
2014 truck? 100,000 mile coolant.
Before I answer,, why???

 

It is. Had two cups. Now I have to pee..

 

Yep ain't that the bitch , I stopped Hot Rod magazine, sent Jegs, Summit, Camaro Junction emails take me off the list . I did not even go to car shows for years lol Now I go with a buddy who has a 51 Chevy he did with some help from me and a 41 Stude I still get the itch to go find a Camaro and "Build it" hell watching @US Marine vid and picture I found my self perusing CL , OLD Rides and ebay you know just looking... :} I still wouldn't go beyond Cubic Inches and a roots super charger:} . I have to admit the thought of a sleeper is appealing :} just to screw with the tuner's :}

hey everybody,mike has to pee!! really? thanks for the info-lol

 

I'll be doing the same in a week. Only mine is an 07 and original and I need hoses.

 

Same here. Like I said I wanted that old Ranchero for 16k.

 

Yes the drain valve on the bottom. And going by my maintenance guide it mentions the Coolant it at 36 months. I also like to stay ahead on all my truck maintenance. Thanks Mike.

 

@Kolunatic ,
Here's my friend's chebby 2 years ago
Now ,there's a lift in the garage and it's disassembled even more. As I said, frame is out and the front drums are getting the disc treatment as well as power steering. 402 was in it for years, but the original from the car,396 is going back in. Rubber, seals, fuzzies, fuel/brake lines..all getting replaced.


Ongoing project...no rush.

 

Can't see them good in the pic, but there's tow tabs up front. We used to flat tow to the track back in the day.
Remember flat towing Mike?

 

Morning all! Beautiful weather here so detaied the RAV4 and the truck yesterday until my back went out at the end of the day so not doing much now. Of course we had just enough rain ast night to get th truck all wet so now I get to figue out how to get that dried off

 

no garage? that sux. morning chris

 

Nice Car! Back in the early 70's In the small town I grew up in just across the state line from you all the Muscle Cars would wire a toggle switch to the Reverse lights. When cruising into town with the reverse on meant they wanted to Race!

The closest 1/4 mile track was in Dover NY off Rt22. It was a lot of fun !!!!

 

garage is full with Rav and camaro. Good reason to sell it so I can keep truck clean. Big assed 4 wlr in there also

 

Yup, been to Dover before they closed in '76. Never raced there as i didn't drive yet,lol.
We used to go to Englishtown, CT Raceway, Lebanon Valley and a couple others.
Good Times!

Used to go to Danbury every year to the Dover Reunion. Lots of mothballed drag cars from the 60's and 70's would show up. Couple years ago, that ended as well as they tore down the old Marcus Dairy and put in yet another....strip mall.

 

choices,choices. got to wash mine today too!

Question is did you use your special rubbing compound :} Sounds like you might need a dedicated shop.. :}

Ok.
I have never used a socket on the plastic petcock. Don't use it to tighten. Break it free and light finger pressure to close it
Grab a few gallons of coolant.
Pull rad cap. Install the fill tool. Drain bucket under.
Start it up. Coolant should start to rise in the fill tool. Once the thermostat opens, fill the coolant in the tool. Open the drain. As the coolant drains out the fill tool lowers keep the tool full and exchange the coolant. Before the tool empties, close the valve. No air can get in. No burping. You may need to lower the front shield if your not comfortable. Coolant will be hot. Watch out for the fan and drive belt. If done right very little mess. This is how I do it with out our evac system. Never done a 14 yet... Some guys on here go nutso and use water and drain the block or try to. Then you need twice as much coolant because they dilute the system so they need to drain it anyway and refill with pure.
Just be carefull......
Not responsible.........

 

Well I am out shower and finish that rack will grab some pictures
