Yes we lost power for 3 hours, but everything came back together. I had cable so I could see what was happening. Damn cell tower went down behind me. Came cack up about 2. TV was the big item Lots of plates, bowls and glasses met their fate too.

Nice! Can't wait to see em mounted up! I sold the wheels out from the highboy today, they were just rollers but 1 less thing I gotta worry about. Now I'm just waiting for my new rear axle so I can finish mounting the tires I want

I really like those! If they did those in a machined finish and clear coat like the 10-hole Mustang wheels were, I'd have probably bought them instead of the ones I have.

I've seen those AR wheels before, but I'm not keen in the rivets and the smaller holes. The ones you just got are much better.

I got my Pom a friend in February. He's fixed so it pisses her off at times. It's a bit funny at times. He's a full-sized chihuahua, but Mindy runs the show. Damn quake scared him, but not her. He's been attached to me since the first quake. lol

Our local Tastee Freeze owner has a sense of humor.

So flushed the core, poured the Prestone radiator flush into it, let it sit for 20 mins, flushed again. Switched hoses, flushed again, switched back (heater core outlet -> hose and heater core inlet
-> hose dump into bucket) and flushed for about 8mins.

Never saw a ton of gunk or discolored coolant/water at all like lost people claim to see. But the water pressure coming out was pretty equal to the hose going in. Once coolant was flushed it was clear water the entire time (minus when it was the Prestone coming out). So now I have heat when I'm driving/higher Rpms but while sitting in the drive thru idling the heat started to fade. Took off and the heat went back up.
So failing water pump or semi clogged heater core?
