    Maybe he is overheating because his pulleys and fan are shot from having muck shot into them :notsure:

    This VVVV I already learned how to fix it. :D

    Seems to be running fine after I gave the radiator a good hosing down. We'll see how it does on a longer drive when I head to dirty jerz.

    Just tint and ppl for now.
    I'm always cleaning the engine bay as best I can. No high pressure water. Soap and rinse. Spotless usually.

    I never run fast through mud/water anymore. Just asking for trouble. Plus the cleanup is a whorenocker.

    Maybe once or twice a year. My trucks lucky if she gets washed once a month. I clean the frame more then the body. I use simple green and NEVER spray the engine. There are so many wire harnesses that can get corroded it's not a good idea to get them wet. Also dielectric grease goes a loooong way when maintaining metal. "I put that shit on everything" about 2 years ago when I first swamped my truck and did her waterproofing.

    Last week when I cleaned my intake again I noticed the harnesses were fused solid with mud. When I opened them up - still like the day I bought her due to the grease.


    When I first did a good cleaning of my rad over a year ago I sprayed my pulleys by accident and that's when I started to hear them moan. Then I cleaned and lubed them and got about 30k out of them before Ant noticed how loud they were then it was just a matter of time + Eddies incident scarred me so I swapped them out. Just have the tension pulley left to do as soon as I can get my POS front diff drain bolt out.

    Shit guess I need to get on that so I can has me skids back on before next weekends muck fest.

    Not really worth it for you to drive down now that I think of it. Sorry for teasing you.

    We are camping 22-24. 23rd we will be kayaking all day and most people leave early on Sundays so probably not much going on in terms of wheeling Sunday. We usually wheel Saturday, but due to the heat we will be on the water drinking instead.

    Only really one pulley for me that can go bad (other than alt, ps pump, and AC - no serpentine belt) and I swapped that last year for a sealed one after that same puddle made it squeal like a pig.

    I thought mine was clean, it comes a perfect even shade of brown from the factory right? :notsure:
