Leak-o-rama-rama-ding-dong (and got new parts in!)

My truck has been having leakage problems lately.

I get it home, the truck leaks coolant. I get under the truck and discover that the moron PO put a tee fitting into one of the lower coolant passage plugs, with a rubber (?) hose conected to it, and needless to say it leaked really bad and was filled with that "stop leak" in a bottle garbage. Fixed that with a stopcock. Also had to weld the gas tank because something hit it and put a tiny hole in it.

Truck leaked less coolant

Notice that now truck isn't leaking from there, but is now leaking from the water neck on the intake. Pull water neck, put in new gasket, RTV, torque the bolts down.

Once again, truck leaks less Apparently the truck also didn't like how cold it was in this lousy state, and during the last cold spell, started right up. And smelled like gas. Fuel return line off the pump broke the rubber pipe holder and split the pipe. Fixed that. Now truck just leaks a LITTLE TINY BIT OF COOLANT GRRR

So while installing my new electric fan, I discover a pinhole leak in the rad under where the fan shroud should have gone. JB-weld it up good until I can afford an aluminum radiator.

Truck stops leaking! Well coolant anyways

Still leaks a little tiny bit of ATF, but I can live with that for now. Going to napa this week to pick up a gasket and filter set to fix it.

Along with fixing the pinhole leak last night I also installed a new electric fan I got off ebay, seleonoid for aforementioned fan, and reinstalled my dash with a new Sunpro 3.5" tach with shift light, fits like a charm.

Tonight I'm hoping to finish wiring up the selenoid and seal up the automatic with a new gasket and filter set from napa.
