I changed my fan clutch today. Bought one from the wreckers for $10 and not man fan isn't always constantly roaring away. I can get my rpms above 3000 before shifting and doesnt sound like the engine is going to blow ha! Also I can hear my exhaust now instead of the fan.
I am pretty happy with that part of my truck, electrical is a different story tho.

I kicked those pesky oil thieving elves out of my engine bay.

There's still one in there pulling a vacuum line out every now and then...I'll get to him one day.

You should be thanking the Magnum 5.9. 200k is normal, many get over 300k out of them.

New Anchor transmission mount went in today, the old one had dry rot, and it feels a bit tighter now.


I went for a drive, and saw a check engine light, but when I key danced it it wouldn't show. It didn't come back after about 30 more miles...


Did a burnout, and DIDN'T smoke the clutch! Hooray!!! Seems this Zoom clutch was the right option. Can't wait for 4.88's
