Dad's '98 Resto

So time for an update. Had my new tires mounted and balanced last week. Getting an alignment in the morning. Even without the alignment, there is a night and day different with the ride quality.

Today I started flushing the cooling system. The overflow tank was literally the nastiest thing ever. The buildup of gunk in the line looked like a damn blood clot.

Really nice truck! You putting green coolant in? That Dexcool stuff is disgusting.

Yea I’m flushing all of the Dexcool out of it and going with the green. Since the truck sits during the winter, I don’t want it to gum up like Dexcool does.

Getting the alignment done as I type this. First time in its lifespan it’s ever had one.

I plan on driving it for a few days without the thermostat to flush the system out. It’s only a few miles back and forth to work so it shouldnt be an issue. I figure on my day off Thursday I’ll install the new water pump, thermostat and temp. sending unit.

Good deal! I just absolutely hate that Dexcool stuff, glad you're going with green.

I posted this in another section earlier. Can anyone give me some ideas what the problem is?
