Keto! If your health allows it. I lost 50lbs in 7 months. Now my clothes don't fit because they are too big. No exercise just slashed sugars and carbs.
Ouch I paid too much. But I figure if this works it's cheaper than a tear down and clean. After I put the grill and stuff back on it will get a test drive. Lots and lots of chunky stuff flushed out of it.
I'm currently doing a flush with oxalic acid (wood bleach powder). I tried blue devil with poor results. Supposedly there is no eating of the cast iron and no hydrogen embrittlement issues. After a couple hours I see a drastic improvement of water flow through the radiator.
I'm having...
Ok so it's been out for the first shakedown runs. So far no real issues. A few rattles that need to be tracked down and brakes need some attention as they seem to be just a suggestion.
Looking at this picture can you tell me, is my rear too high or is my front is too low?
It had air shocks...
There were a few compounding issues on this one.
1. Unknown steering box in 2dr car
2. I blew out the line when I started
3. I'm the mechanic
At least I didn't throw a bunch of money at it.
Some hours yes.
Needless steering box swap, yes but hey I can assume the 2dr box is good.
It was a...
Self induced dumb assery.
I must have stuck this vacuum plug in the pump outlet when I pulled the motor.
Many months later I connected the hose right over the top of it.
The pressure lodged it firmly into the middle coupler.
My original conclusion was correct, pump was dead heading.
Hose was...
Tgank you everyone that has helped me on this one.
I GOT IT¡!!!!¡
Pressure hose has gotten blocked up.
WTF
I blew through it in the beginning and could swear that the air went through.
Seems to be blocked at the coupler in the middle as I can push a wire from both ends to about that point.
New...
Make sure I have this correct
Return port on pump blocked.
Return from box long hose into tub.
Fill reservoir and turn steering wheel.
With this setup it filled the tub and no lowering of pump volume. Seems to have expelled all fluid from the box
Car is not running.
I could start it but it...
At this point this looks like it will be a thread for future troubleshooting.
I've been burping this for two hours engine off.
If I turn the steering wheel to the right from 10 o'clock to 2 o'clock I can hear a stream of bubbles in box and can feel them in the wheel.
Turning to the left gets a...
Pulled valve body off steering box and it looked good and moved freely. Put it back on, no change.
Pulled the pump apart TRW brand I believe original. It looked good. A little sludge build up.
Main valve moved freely I Pulled the bypass valve and cleaned it up. Put it all back together, no...
Thanks everyone.
Looks like I'm not driving with power steering yet. I'm watching the chrysler tech videos to get an understanding of what it's supposed to do to see if I can understand what exactly is happening. Most bizarre to me.
Where is the bypass valve in the pump located and how do you...
Old hose on pressure side but I blew it out. Return is new.
Would air cause a dead head situation?
I did move the wheel back and forth till it quit burping with motor off.
What adjustments need to be made to not have the wheel full right or left?
My assumption is the valve that allows fluid...
I'm rebuilding my coronet 500 and upon first start it seems the steering box is deadheading.
Hose jumps on cranking and pump starts chirping shortly thereafter and pump heats up rapidly.
It's unknown how long box sat in the car with no hoses.
Looking at the fsm it appears that there are valves...
Almost forgot the rear wheel well is in now.
That was a challenge for sure.
The previous owner had done a hack job removing it so it was quite the job replacing it.
