See all good. Nice and easy.

Came home put new hose and cooler on and topped off, ran it, topped off...seems to be holding steady. Rough job, but got er done and we made it to lake house dark 30. Test run tomorrow if weather holds.

Cooler was at very back of engine, up top bolted to the block. Not easy to get to, at least at 42 years old nowBig Block Power wrote: Sat May 26, 2018 6:53 amSee all good. Nice and easy.

Re: Need help diagnosing a high idle
Local hydraulic stores are the bomb. Sometimes I make ly own lines for oil or trans cooler out of stuff from the hot rod shop. But for high pressure stuff, I let someone else do it. Had the transmission lines on the duramax leak and replaced under warranty. Second time, went to the shop and got the stuff to do it right. Haven't leaked since.ctfortner wrote: Fri May 25, 2018 11:28 pm Remembered there was a hydraulic place not far, went by there and was out with a new hose in 10 minutes. 23 bux vs 100 for factory!

Re: Need help diagnosing a high idle
That is where mine was also. I had the same issue but just clamps. Now do that with a few more years on you and a bb.
