The hard lines get removed and hoses get looped sort of like the heater hoses near the water neck. Alternatively, you can extend them as necessary to support the installation of a transmission cooler, as the stock cooler was removed with the donor radiator.Lastly, a question on the transmission cooling lines. The video shows reconnecting the adapter below to the front of the engine, but unless we missed it, there are still open ends that used to connect to the radiator. Don't we have to close this loop somehow?
Agreed, I left mine on because I hated to just toss it out but frankly it's not even connected to the frame, it's just dangling. I need to either connect it just because or remove it.If you ground off the powder coat where the engine contacts the frame, you really don't need the ground wire that connects to the frame. Its up to you. I'm not using mine as it just gets in the way and is extra clutter I'd rather not have.
Yes both slid in all the way flush - one of the uprights needed to be filed slightly. The other worked as is.Did your hubs slide all the way in on the studs?
I had to file out the holes some to be able to seat them all the in against the aluminum upright.
We were very surprised as well! Surprised at the first one and when the 2nd one happened were shocked. Yes on torque wrenches - on the 2nd one, we actually used a 2nd torque wrench thinking the first one broke or something. We re-checked both torque wrenches settings, and even ran both down to 0 and back up to 50#. One breaking might be a defect in the material - 2 breaking back to back... hmmm...Got torque wrench? 50 lb-ft. Those are fairly hefty studs to snap like that.
Not Moogs - purchased from Rock Auto and now going back and doing comparison of what we got vs. what should have purchased! I'd feel better if they are actually cheapo and found the problem now rather than later!Just out of curiosity, are those Moogs? Just wondering if you might have purchased some cheapo Chinese hubs.
Aha! You heard me grumbling around the house just now, didn't you!Moogs are good stuff. You'll probably wish you'd had gone with them right off the bat.
