Doom Despair and Agony on me
#23
Today I was whistling my theme song for my truck. I cleaned the water pump opening about 5 times yesterday, and Arturo did the same. So today it only took about 10 minutes of detailing, and scrubbed the bolts. I got most of them installed, and then let more flexible body do the contorting. 

Then came unknown territory. The electric fan is to be attached to the radiator ~~~ by a long zip tie.  Huh
Ok.  It seems to actually work well. Let’s see how long the plastic zip tie bolt lasts.   I wish that serpentine belt was not such a four handed marvel of the Rube Goldberg school of engineering. It’s not a fan belt anymore. The radiator and fan slipped right in and two bolts later, hoses, and  then I tried to install the overly complicated fan electrical   Finally I tossed most of it away and used a couple of wires and the fuse   

Finally I got brave and filled the radiator with water. Immediately a drip. Just one. Easy fix. I ran it and the fan came on. One detail needs to be made. I have to raise the shut off temperature of the fan. 

As promised, the pile of parts. The fan was extremely cracked, so even if it came off easily, it needed to be replaced anyway. That one is as expensive as the electric one. 

Unable to post pictures right now. Cheap internet.
Compared to parenting, Cat herding is less complicated
