Fixing Jack's Truck

 Jack's truck came from Grandpa Campbell's work.  It was an old yard truck and Jack got it for free. Free vehicles tend to need some work now and then. It was leaking coolant like crazy! It was time to change the intake manifold and valve cover gaskets. Jack got started on the truck but became frustrated when he couldn't get some bolts out. I started to help him because I have small hands.

We changed the thermostat too because it was right there.

This project took several weeks but we got it buttoned up finally. Merril isn't pictured but he provided the expertise.

We forgot the o-ring on the fuel rail. When Jack started the truck up the first time, it started spraying everywhere. I thought the truck had gone from bad to worse.

But we quickly realized out mistake and it was an easy fix. Now it doesn't leak coolant!

It was a lot of work and but now it's running perfect! It's great when projects work out! Jack's getting good at fixing things and making them work again. 👊
