I flushed it out pretty good. Throwing fresh Dex in. Also going with Permatex for gaskets…looks like the block has a little pitting where the seal would go so I'm not taking the chance on using the other gaskets.
Anyone have anything bad to say about Fel-Pro gaskets? The ones I got are a rubber ring style with metal base. That's what was on the truck and leaking. Could be they didn't torque correctly or clean surfaces good last time though.
Don't think so..
The first coolant to come out was pink but must be some orange came out after. The gaskets were leaking. Not factory gaskets…must have been done before.
Agreed! My dad just got 22k for his 06 CCSB with 155k miles and Michigan rust. It was in great shape except rockers were bubbling and bed supports were rotting.
I am in the process of replacing a water pump on my 99 sierra with a 5.3. Pink coolant draining out. Anyone know anything about it good or bad? Probably not a good idea to mix with the dexcool I have?
You need tuning to support the deletes (EFI Live), delete pipe for the dpf or a full exhaust, and the egr you can go with a $10 blocker plate or buy an egr delete kit.
With my alignment correct I need to rotate my MTZs every 3k or so or they will get choppy. It's part of the nature of this MT I'm used to. I get about 50k out of them. More aggressive tires need to be rotated more often I believe.
