This won't work for a 2008 252...unless you know of some modifications that will make this work....like a huge set of scissors and a sewing machine. :lol:

(Btw, the carpet in that pic is for the engine platform walk-thru, engine platform step, and aft seat of the 260 series.)

Yea Dam it. I thought I was so close. I think I was thinking this was the same guy that Whipple was trying to help. I'm getting them all confused. Darn it.

Hey for as many times as you get it right bbp and the anount of parts you mysteriously dig up, you’re bound to slip up once in awhile. I’ll take your batting success of 90% all day long brutha. 👍🏻Now go get this guy some 252 carpet. 8-)

Thanks. But wasn't there a 262 guy that needed some?

Upon removing the thermostat is gives 2 options. One for 140, the other for 160 degree. Why pick one over the other?
Do you have a picture of the bracket that prevents the impeller housing from spinning?

If it sounded like cooking bacon you better do a compression test before you do anything else.

When making bacon and eggs on your exhaust manifolds.
This sounds like a 5.7 engine from Texas and 1 story ago doesn't it?
