Flushed the radiator. Heat wasn't working, so I back flushed the heater core also. Refilled with distilled water and Prestone's finest. Heater works better, but I think the water pump is bad. Probably bad impellers.

Dropped it off at the shop to have a new fuel pump put in. Just what everyone needs right here at the holidays, lol.

Got this installed, 32" curved, no need to cut the middle support! Still have 2 6" bars and 4 4" pods to install! Shoutout to @the01kingranch for the curved bar idea!

wish I would've thought of that.. I had to trim off most of the middle support.

Yup I didn't wanna trim my middle support, thanks to the01kingranch's write up the 32" fits perfectly without being trimmed. That's the only reason I did it! Love the look, hated the idea of shaving the support

I used a curved bar and still trimmed the support bracket to make sure that the bar was plenty far away from the grill.

Had a slight shudder between gears so today I ran a trans tune up bottle through it, drove it, went through all the gears a couple times, dropped the pan which didn't have the notorious plunger in it meaning it's been changed before I got it 5 years ago, I was amazed there was absolute zero build up and no metal partials, the pan was damn near spotless, changed the filter and reused the ford gasket, flushed the TQ via the supply line in the front and ended up going through almost 12 qts of ATF before the fluid got ruby red, runs and shifts like a dream and no more shudder, seems like I caught it before it got bad. the whole process including drinking a few beers took 2 hours but could have been done in 30mins if I was in a rush I suppose. Very very easy, almost too easy.
