How did the water outlet work out?

 

success! started right up. I missed a vacuum hose but got that on and it was great. No codes. Sounds great. nothing leaking. No leaks. No bubbling. I just drove around for 45 minutes. highway. neighborhood. uphill. down. last month the temp would be 190-195 coming back into town and the coolant would be bubbling. This trip 186 with an occasional 188 ... no bubbling. very pink. I'm going to now let it sit and just make sure nothing is leaking. But damn that feels good!

 

Awesome shakedown run this evening on some national forest roads and camp grounds just outside of town. I came across a few kids that had been stuck for 5 hours in the snow ... pulled them out and continued on ... the truck ran great. Temps steady. no bubbling. All good!

 

Great 50 mile ride through some easy trails today. Temp still holding. No bubbling. All good. The truck was great!
