finally got her home

I just got from deployment about 3 wks ago!!! Thank god im home finaly!

but anyways i went down to fl this weekend so i can get my 7 (and so my friend can pick up the harley he bought off of me) it was great bc when i first got her i had problems starting her, but that was fixed the last time i was at my sisters house, we i got in and turned the key and she started right up i was so happy. i drove her from gainesville fl to fayettevile nc with very problems. she is over heating a lil but once on the road and moving i dont have a problem so i kept on truckin. the only thing that sux is she gets 18 mpg on the highway but that might be bc i was going 80 plus most of the time i get some pics up soon it was a good ride.

all i need to do is fix the small overheating problem!

wehen i came home on my 4 day pass i changed out the t-stat, radiator, upper and lower hoses, and i put block weld in the cooling system.

i put 2300 cfm e-fan on the radiator.
when i can get around to it im pulling the air pump off and add i dual alt belt pully but i dont think that is an issuse right now.
i have anftermarket cheap over flow tank rightn ow too im going to the salvage yard to today to get a new cap for my oem one hope that will help.

On the bright side, you got home safe and in one piece from deployment. That's the really important part! As the saying goes - "the rest is just background noise".
