Pushed to Make Solid Axle Summit, and Failed. The Big Sad. Starting to Heal. 

Keep up the good fight, man. Depression sucks. It’s good to talk about it. Great content as always!

It’s great to see new videos!

I missed these videos so much. Glad to see you back!

ICE ICE BABY... Awesome!!

Great to see you back sir. Sux about your depression. My wife suffer from that too. Keep your chin up buddy.

I'd rethink the green crocs man. Bad Juju!

"BLOCK DRAIN" Don't forget the block drain. It's the lowest point in the engines coolant jacket where the crud likes to settle and collect. Don't be surprised if it's clogged. Located drivers side of block, down low and to the rear. Don't know if you did but some folks use that opening for the Sniper's temperature sensor.

A cliffhanger? Oh you’re good…. Btw the 40 is looking grt, once it’s running it’s gonna be sweet!

most thermostats have a small hole in it to allow air to pass through, some have a small valve on it to assist with that, good on you for testing to see if it is working.

I know this footage is older and you have already found the issue but the cooling system on these cruisers is a bit of a wild goose chase and everyone has an opinion. Ask me how I know. Mines a 2h diesel but the fundamentals are the same. I have gone through the new radiator, thermostat replacement, radiator cap replacement, new hoses and clamps, told it may be a cracked head, fan clutch. All these things cost 💲 to either replace or investigate. In the end someone put the overflow hose on the wrong way around on the overflow bottle so it wasn’t sucking the water back into the radiator so creating air pockets. In this case I hazard a guess it’s the fan clutch or a loose belt which only rears it’s ugly head at high speeds rather than the radiator itself. If the radiator was blocked it would be getting hot at idle

When I feel overwhelmed or down I either go swim, ride my bike, lift weights or meditate. I had a overheating issue with my wife's 88 Toyota pickup. The radiator had a cold spot in the middle of it. I had to take it to a radiator shop twice. I think it was a matter of impurities clogging things up. At some point I bought a new radiator.

Love you guys!!

some thermostats come drilled with a small 1/8" hole in them to help with air pockets. Some folks add them to thermostats if they dont come with one. Guessing in video #2 you figured this out

My 82 LC runs about 160 and the 78 LC runs around 170. This occurs regardless of outside temperature. FIRE ALL PARTS CANNON! Edit The holes drilled in the thermostat (you probably know) are for the coolant to run past the thermostat regardless if it is open or not.

Youve been driving that 40 around a bit to local places without cooling issues right? Ive had my thermostat stick closed from time to time. Ive also had a radiator get plugged up. Ive found it best to drive my 40 a lot locally to get as many bugs worked out as i can while close to home. For depression, go for a quiet walk every day looking at nature for 30 minutes or so, maybe bring your wife along. Look at the trees, birds, grass, deer, sky and quietly take it all in. See if that helps.

Tip for next time you do any work on the rad - the front panel is on a hinge ;)

At least yours is running, by the way, no such word as irregardless.😮

I understand the metal junk - depression, ADD, and dyslexia is the cherry! Keep-up the awareness and humor 🤙 btw - which Milwaukee rotary tool did you clean the housing with?

Not sure if behind the screens to check for coolant in the oil? My first heart break was the head gasket installed backwards during a fresh rebuild which lead to a number of other problems down the road. Then i got paranoid and ruined a good gasket looking in a different problem. How did you test the gasket, compression test?

Hey man, I’ve been watching from the start great channel. You’re a cop, right? I just have to know

280.00 for an oem rad....just to add a little salt to the wound.

Sorry you're struggling with depression, bud. it's a real biatch....
