Hard to believe this is the same tank.

Before:



After:



But now it's buried back in the truck. The strap bolts are all cleaned out and coated with anti-seize. All the skid plate bolts are drilled out, heli-coiled, and ready for brand new bolts. The only reason we didn't start it up tonight is I ran out of daylight. I want to be able to see any leaks.

As long as everything goes well, it'll be driving tomorrow. Then there's just some trim to tidy up.

Awesome job. I'm a half way decent home mechanic and your willingness to tackle some of these things makes me look bad lol.

I appreciate that. I still feel like I over-reached on this. I've still got the front brake lines to do too. It's going to be a miracle if it makes it out and back on Saturday.

Good job. Anti seize the hell out of the new bolts.

I did. I was going to coat the pump bulkhead in this waxy corrosion inhibitor I got from Vira's dad, but I couldn't find anything on there saying it was safe for plastic and rubber. It probably would have been ok, but I didn't want to take any chances.

Yea, you might have been ok, but you should be good for a while now.

Did I mention this thing has an upgraded trans cooler? I noticed it when I was draining the coolant before I pulled the dash. The ports at the radiator are completely closed off, and there's a pretty good sized heat exchanger in front of the AC condenser. That was a nice find.

One of the main reason I got my avalanche is it had one.

For that big RV you are going to be pulling around.

Brake bleeder is here. So much for Saturday.

You only drive on some rolling hills.

It runs.

Yay!

But did it fix everything you wanted? Because let’s face it, I can make shit run. Doesn’t mean it runs correctly. Lol
