Damn. Wonder what caused it to bend?

Im guessing when it blew a head gasket it was to much pressure with the coolant in there. On the other hand this is an oreillys long block they source from lkq and is the second one ive had cylinder 8 mess up on. So as a warning to others autozone an oreillys long blocks are a head ache and not worth the trouble.

Truck's looking damn good, bro.
Much appreciated man, its definitely come a long ways since we bought it. Just need to fix the squeaks on the front end, give 'er a polish and she'll be about as good as new

Anyways, today was the annual "Drag Main" in (basically) my hometown.

Of course my truck wasn't as prepared as I had wished it would be, mainly because my truck is dusty and didn't have time for a bath. Anyways, I saw a lot of good lookin' cars n trucks. Also saw a nice looking rumble bee and what may have been a quad-cab SRT-10. Also here in the good ol' Oklahoma we had a round of severe weather make its way through the state tonight. They predicted up to 3 inch hail so we (tried) to prepare

Of course we just got the rain and wind. But can't complain about not getting huge chunks of ice falling from the sky

Back to normal. Weight of back seats, folding floors, and spare? 184.6 lbs. Didn't weight the front seat, but it was lighter than the rear single seat. Maybe 20 or 25 lbs? Didn't weigh the jack or tire change kit, either. Estimated 10 lbs together tops.

So 210-220ish pounds total? Either way. We aren't gonna bicker about gains, that's said and done. The real gain is now the interior doesn't look like the truck just got recovered from being stolen. Lol.

And I can get 5 fine pieces of ass riding with me again, too. Hehehe.

EDIT: OH, I left the folding floors out. Didn't want them or need them. Saved 28.4 pounds there. And a few more for cleaning out excess junk from the truck. (couple of tools and too-short-to-use chains included)

Where are you getting your parts from?
First radiator split at 121,000 miles picked up a new radiator from Pep Boys that radiator started leaking at 134,000 but because it was on the warranty they swapped it out for free all of the EGR valve's came from AutoZone
