frustrated
 

i put all the fluids in the truck on the weekend and everything was good, went back out in the garage a couple hours later and i had a small pool of antifreeze on the intake, so i putted the thermostat housing off and put a better gasket on that wasnt such a cheapo like the one that came with the thermostat. anyways i fixed that and filled the rad back up and now its leaking out of the heat sensor fitting on the intake, i used teflon tape on the threads and still, its really starting to piss me off cause my rad doesnt have a little drain at the bottom so its a real mess to get some of that antifreeze out, ive been syphoning out the top but now i gotta do it again, i think ill use some of that teflon paste this time, i dont know...im just fried though, anyways thanks for letting me vent.

thanks for the tip, ill take a look but its an aluminum intake and it has been bead blasted, ill take a closer inspection with a good light but im sure i just need to get more teflon in the threads or give the sensor another crank with the wrench, i just didnt want to over crank the thing with the aluminum threads. ill keep ya posted, thanks
