My dad and I had used RTV silicon to glue down the big gasket on the heater box prior to the attempt to get it back on to the truck today. However, a certain knucklehead managed to catch just the gasket on one of the two studs protruding from the firewall pulling that gasket right off the heater box!
(I'm that knucklehead).
I was good though: no cursing, no yelling, no real reaction other than shock.
At least the gasket was intact.
So we glued it down again! We'll try again tomorrow.....sometimes you just have bad luck.
At least I got you guys a pic of how we clamped it all down while the silicon cures.
