The hits just keep on rolling. So I've got the new radiator in the ram I go to Home Depot. I come outside and there's antifreeze under the truck. And I think well maybe that was there before I parked so I pull it into another parking space that has nothing on the ground. I step out of the truck and there is antifreeze pouring from the front of the motor down to the frame and running everywhere. Looks to be coming out of the water pump behind the pulley. So I loosen the radiator cap to where it's just barely tightened down. And the leak slows down so I'm thinking all right fill it with antifreeze and head for home. So I stopped to fuel up and it's not leaking anymore. I'm thinking am I out of antifreeze. No it's just not leaking anymore. So is my radiator cap causing all these problems. It's the second cap I've had on this truck. But if it's sticking I could see it blowing the end tank seals out of the radiator to besides blowing the seal out of the water pump. However I drove it home I pull in the driveway and it's not leaking again. So I'm going to try a different cap on it today see what happens.
Now the Ford. Should have gotten the g e m today at least but it didn't show up. So I called the outfit whose located in St Louis Missouri and ask him where's my part. So they had screwed up my email address and hadn't sent me the tracking numbers. So the guy checks it out. My part is in Texas. The US Post Office sent it to Irwin Texas and now it's on its way back to Peoria Illinois. I'm hoping I get some frequent flyer miles from this.
Of course today is 50 degrees out and I can be putting that part in but it's enjoying a plane ride across America instead.
