cool.
is that the place in grand prairie?

 

1797-1817 S Belt Line Rd, Dallas, TX 75253


that's the address to it.

if the truck keeps getting hot and starts to loose coolant might have to ask for your help over a weekend to get the gaskets swapped out.

 

thanks.
just give me a shout. I will be around.

 

Yikes!! Head Gaskets all in 1 weekend would be an accomplishment. Good luck with that one. Are you having the new valve seals installed and the heads milled and hot tanked? Don't forget to get new head bolts or upgrade to ARP studs.

How did you fix the wobble in the fan be the way? Just a new fan or did you have to get a new clutch and pump

 

new to me fan, same fan clutch. I can see a HG job done in a weekend, i have done it before on an lsx car but i also didnt have to send heads in to be milled.

i have the ab head gasket kit. i think ill stick to their bolts since i have them. i just bled the truck for 35 mins, it had some air in the lines hoping this clears up the truck getting warmer at idle, while driving its fine and it hasnt lost any coolant.

 

easily done in a weekend if your not held up by the machine shop, I got a set of used heads for $50. for the next time. They can be machined and ready to go on.

 

I'm sure you can get it done in a weekend if you don't have the machine shop to deal with and you really buckle down and don't run into any unforeseen problems. These rovers do tend to throw curve ***** so watch out.

I think I might take longer doing things then your average at home Mechanic. I try and really clean everything and put anything I can fit into the parts cleaner to get cleaned while I have the truck apart and it does tend to really add up in time. Plus with all the Drinking, Smoking, food breaks, and time spent taking pictures for the forum, I can drag a repair out into a fairly long process. I swear I lose all track of time when I fill up the ice chest with beer, turn on some classic rock, and start turning a wrench. I think it's therapeutic to me.

It doesn't matter if it takes you 1 weekend or 1 month, just that you do it the right way the first time.

 

yep. cleaning and machining be the time gobblers. otherwise, it's a 1 day deal. 8-10hrs wrenching. I could see the courtesy to photo and document taking a huge chunk too.

 

here in a few ill be driving to forney for work and will find out what will happen, i will either be starting a HG swap next weekend or a tcase drop.... and the plot thickens. dun dun dun
