    Adding a TruCool 40k on my Hoe with no factory cooler

    Sorry it took me so long to update you all but I did finish up this weekend with the TruCool install as well as the front-end body work. The 6-AN 5/8-18 fitting worked perfectly into the radiator and the AN tubing kit I got was much easier to work with than expected so I opted to just go ahead...

    Adding a TruCool 40k on my Hoe with no factory cooler

    Yeah, that's the plan more or less. It looks like all I need is a 5/8-18 to AN to go into that upper radiator inlet but that's what I was trying last night and it didn't act like it was quite right. But it was late and I was about to call it a night. I'll check it a little closer tonight.

    Adding a TruCool 40k on my Hoe with no factory cooler

    I went ahead and decided to order those pre-made lines you suggested. They are really nice. Now I'm having a tough time getting the right AN6 fitting to go into the top of the radiator. It's always something!

    Adding a TruCool 40k on my Hoe with no factory cooler

    Thanks, that's what I needed and I knew you would know! Yeah those lines look great but I've been wanting to try my hand at making some myself. We'll see how it goes.

    Adding a TruCool 40k on my Hoe with no factory cooler

    Hey all, had an accident while on vacation a few years ago causing some front-end damage. Been working on it a few weeks and since I have everything took apart figured I'd add a TruCool. I did go ahead and get the AN hardware that Doubeleive suggested. At least the adapters, I got a hose kit...

    Help with Rust Preventative Underneath

    I decided to try some of the Salts Gone I kept seeing advertisements for and it works pretty good. It's pricey but you only need a couple ounces per gallon mixed into a sprayer. I would probably get some Fluid Film to spray under afterwards. It's an ongoing battle for sure, good luck!

    RockAuto selling fake GM Parts?

    I know this isn't an "OEM" issue but I ordered an AC Delco alternator for my GST a few years back. It came and was not even close to the right alternator but had the correct label on it and the box. Sent it back for a replacement and I didn't think much of it. Got the replacement in, not even...

    Rear Main Seal

    I may get some flack for this but have you tried using some ATP-205 re-seal? This stuff can do miracles on rear main seals.

    Metal on drain plug magnet

    Honestly, if it were me before I started with rebuilding I'd probably dump a bottle of seafoam in it and run it for a few miles and dump the oil. Fill her up with some budget (if there is such a thing these days) dino oil and add another bottle of seafoam for a few more miles. Then change out...

    AC Delco has gone down the crapper like everything else

    Yeah, that's why I have a tough time replacing things that aren't broken. Especially these days since parts are just getting made cheaper and cheaper :(

    Help

    Crappy way to start the day! Sounds like a weak battery to me. If you can get it jumped off, drive it to Advance or Auto Zone and get them to check it for you.

    Positive remarks

    Good looking ride, the white is still my favorite. I enjoy driving my 2001 Hoe much more than the NNBS model we have at work. I think ours are so much more comfortable!

    When is enough to let go?

    I think we will all get to that point eventually. I've always done most of my own work as well on older vehicles. Hell, my 2001 Hoe is my NEWEST vehicle! It's a personal choice that involves how much time we have, how able are we to do it (health, space, and tools), money, etc. I think as...

    Merry Christmas to all! Had to run my fiancé to work this morning in the Hoe. It’s blowing snow and around 14 but will be around 0 by the time I pick her up this evening. I hate winter myself

    Oil filter recommendations?

    I like the K&Ns too because of the nut but since these are pretty easy to get to I'll also use ACDelco & Wix if I see a good deal.

    What Oil To Use in My 6.0 Denali

    I love Amsoil but the Rotella oils are good quality oil too and for the price they're great imho.

    AGM battery recommended?

    I did some research on these after having 2-3 new AutoCraft Silver batteries from Advance shit the bed on me very quickly. I decided to go with the Duracell AGM from Batteries+Bulbs in both my DSM and Hoe. Time will tell I guess but so far so good. I didn't realize Advance was now pushing the...
