What did you do to your truck today!

[Toxic Orange]

We went out and took some pictures of mine at the local feed mill.

[Tomahawk30]

Got my new aluminum radiator installed and cleaned up a bit of grease and grime buildup while I had the fan / shroud off. Turned out great and works like a charm! Gave it a good wash and took some pictures last night of the closer-to-finished product (slowly but surely...). I'll get a few posted this evening.

Headliner 75% in. It's in, but needs final adjustments and cuts (slots)
for the trim.

Thanks to two Forum Members and a friend of of a Member (Tony G).

And thanks to all for getting the parts to me fast. I really appreciate it.

Finally got to the point of having to make a final decision on paint color!

Made my choice and left a substantial donation at the PPG store. Had to be mixed, matched and test sprayed for color, will get it tomorrow.

Now its time to pull my big boy shorts up and get busy!!!

[Toxic Orange]

So what color did you go with?

Ground (-) to any good ground (-); and hot (+) to the wiper (always hot when the key's on) circuit.

[profe56]

Thanks: Just a question; (+) needs a fuse between the choke and wiper.

[profe56]

Forgot to say is Rochester choke and only has (+) connector.

Right.

Listen to Nate. He's the real deal.

I, personally, like the wiper circuit because I wired it for an electric washer...I know the load, and I know where the fuse is.
Also, it fits with my placement (hiding) of the wiring and the exit point to the choke.

Listen to Nate, though. A separate circuit is always the best answer.

Really , you should runa new wire from the unused accessory fuse in the fusebox to the choke heater ~ then use the lowest rated fuse you can that won't blow ~ probably a 10 A. one .

Every vehicle always has built in extra un used fuses for radios and other add ons , be smart and use them , do not overload the original wiring .

To properly set the choke , go out to the rig _early_ in the morning when it's cool out and the engine is stone cold , loosen the screws holding the choke element just until you can turn it by hand , open the throttle with one hand and whilst it's open , slowly turn the choke element until the choke butterfly *just* closes , DO NOT load it ! .

Now , snug up the choke screws and release the throttle & you're all done ! .

To cold start it , depress the throttle to the floor ONCE , release then crank it ~ never touch the throttle when operating the starter on a cold engine .

Where did you get that bracket that holds the two hoses together at the bottom of your picture? I'm trying to find something like that for my heater hoses coming out of the heater core

That's just a clamp. I don't remember where they came from...but it was off of E-Slay, for sure.

Here are some cool ones I just found on a "Google Search":
