Catch the antifreeze that spills out in a jug. It really shouldn't be that much anyway. IIRC it was only a few ounces that spilled out when I did mine.

you can rebuild an electric motor very easily. all you need is some new brushes. or just clean the old ones off and stick em back in.

 

[Bad Habit]

its working if i push start it or the incoming wind push starts it, its when i stop it stops spinning and my temp starts to go up...which scares me, so for now until it gets fixed or i get another ill drop the c/f in and a 180 and rock it for a moment....

 

[Oefootball_70]

well that sucks. keep us updated.

 

[Bad Habit]

clutch is back on for a moment til i grab another efan..new one this time...and the 180 stat is in.....

 

[OklaHemi]

that sucks jay. that is why i was so reluctant to get one from a salvage yard.

 

[Bad Habit]

buying a new one when i can....

 

[cheapbeater]

what was the part number of the 180 stat from advance auto??

 

[Off_Road_Teacher]

Stant 14168 is the one I got. It is about 1mm too big so it needs to be ground down just a little to fit. There is an exact fit number too, but I don't have that one handy.

 

[Oefootball_70]

But its a diff number for the 4.7 and the 5.7. Idk if it had been said before. Just fyi

 

[Oefootball_70]

screw the fan save up and buy dirtydodge's paxton novi supercharger. 2700 bucks. he also has 224 cams for ya. That would be a nice little set up for ya.

 

[Bad Habit]

hell yeah that would be sick on my truck.....
