Be sure to cover yourself, you can only hook that trailer up if its been derated to 10k. Means the plate has been adjusted to say it. Otherwise I'm not even sure you're ok with a weight ticket in hand. 14K trailers are readily identifiable.

The trailer I had my truck on a month ago is capable for 14K but derated plate for 10K for me to hook up without Class A. Just trying to save you a ticket, just in case.

Where's the picture of your haul anyways....

Just going to the 60/40 mix for summer alone may be enough. Coolant is for keeping the liquid from freezing and metal parts from rusting/corroding. Water is more efficient cooler than anti-freeze and I know guys in the car restoration game with summer only drivers who even do 70/30. Adding a surficant like Water Wetter or Purple Ice helps efficiency by increasing contact of the liquid to hot metal surfaces.

If contemplating 60/40 or especially 70/30, be sure to use only distilled water to avoid contaminants and minerals in tap water that lead to corrosion...

 

so our truck was dying while we were driving it, we replace the alternator and that problem is fixed.

however, now the truck is overheating. Check the coolant it was a little low, fill that back up.

Still was overheating rather quickly so I replaced the thermostat with the factory recommended thermostat, along with the seal. Its taking longer for the truck to overheat but it is still overheating. The coolant is full and the thermostat is brand new.

 

Start by flushing your cooling system.

 

Okay so thanks for all the replys, I appreciate it. I am going to flush the system but I have a question, Ive done this before to other "old cars", but is there an efficient way of doing this? Any tricks, is there any other drain valves except for the one on the radiator im not aware of? Thanks. Also going to switch to synthetic oil, do I need to flush that system too before I put the oil in and after I drain the old oil...

 

Do the flush they you always have. There isn't any tricks that I am aware of to make it work better....

No need to flush oil system.
