Today it’s change the water pump, and fresh Dexcool 50/50 premix. The new water pump arrived around 4 pm yesterday, but a dinner and movie evening with friends was already planned.

 

so you admit it then. You’d rather work on your car.

 

No really! The water pump sprocket tool was a big help,

It prevents any possibility of dropping a bolt into the engine!


good thing I ordered orings and a gasket for the thermostat , heater hose housing.
I replaced the CTS also.
I’m burping the coolant now.
I got started at 9:30 am and had the job done , tools put away and washed the garage floor by 4:00 pm

 

Cool, I just did my yearly service to mine. Oil change w/filter, Checked the air filter & cabin filter.
And didn't get to check rear brakes adjust. Another day..

 

Today , after checking the coolant level , a drive through the countryside and stop for a coffee somewhere.

 

Today we drove my Panel to seal the deal on the wifes new hot rod.. She got a Lincoln MKC, one owner, & all documented history.

It has EcoBoost 2.3 turbo, 285 HP & 305 ft lbs.. & loaded to the max..

 

Fun! Congratulations! Don’t forget the insurance!

 

Congratulations! Nice ride!

 

was told last weekend at my oil change that I still had some life in my front brakes... only for them to start grinding .... so my buddy is gonna slap some front pads on it before we leave work

 

Maybe time to upgrade to SS 11.6 inch rotors!
