The AC Delco tensioners are nice. They come with a new bolt with threadlocker already applied and have super intuitive markings for tensioner clocking.

I regret not waiting and ordering the AC Delco part, I'm not sure what brand I put on when I replaced the rad but it was just a cheap parts store one.

Painted the topper. There's a few spots that need some attention, a it could use another coat or two of clear; but I'm pretty happy with it.

My buddy finally got his 7.3 put back together, so we had to get a picture while me and my brother were dropping off burning pallets.

Not bad, what'd you use for paint?

DupliColor - Dark Toreador Red; it's actually listed as a Ford color but it matches my red pretty decently

I see a factory diesel bumper in your pic...

That one actually came off my brother's truck; there's a big dent in one of the holes so we're trying to figure out what we're gonna do with it.

Did you look into your overheating issue?

 

[BNielsen]

Did you look into your overheating issue?

Yeah, the water pump was fine, the fan clutch is engaging like it's supposed to; the electrical pusher fan threw me off a little because I didn't realize it had to be up to a certain temp or the A/C has to be running for it to start up.

That fire pile is actually at my friend's house, and it's a lot bigger than it looks.
It's getting close to the size it was last winter, the last time we burnt the pile, it burned so hot, we had to move trucks from 10 feet away to about 30 feet away from the fire because tailgates and taillights started smoking.
