Finally got the new tires installed for the steers and took the bus out for its first trip semi completed to our camp around 70 miles away.
I had an appointment for Tuesday, but a leaking oil cooler stopped that. Guess someone tried drilling out a bolt and missed and used some epoxy to fix, it finally gave way, I thought it was a the gasket, and change them out a couple of weeks before. Still had a small leak, but got worse on Tuesday to were I could not drive it. I thought i missed a bolt, as i seen a hole, and stated to probe the area, next start up oil was gushing out. I put in a new oil cooler and oil filter housing, as i did not want to deal with any leaks this time around. I was about 80% sure the old cooler would have been fine.
the new oil cooler had a small nick in it, so i ended up flat sanding it down.
After I picked up the parts, I went to get some rotella for an oil change and the truck decided to blow a power steering hose, luckily I has some in the bed. and kept filling it up to get home.
After all that no leaks form the oil cooler and housing
, so off to the local tire store to get new steers installed.
The New steers firestone FS821 11r22.5 were great date code was 09/23, nice road feel to them. A little loud, but not overwhelming. I think I will do them all the way around if we use the bus alot.
