Pics look great John...nice job!!

Yes ,the rain fizzled out before it got here but it sure did get cold .

[flash]

Anyone want to buy a truck ,I think the damn thing is possessed .

Now what happen Flash?

[flash]

The A/C belt flew off ,the pulleys are wobbling and the water pump is leaking ,everything on this truck is new. I drove it about 3 miles to drop off a fan blade to be powder coated and when I got there I saw antifreeze pouring out under it .Opened the hood and cranked it up and antifreeze pouring out the weep hole .I about ready to give up .

Don't give up John. That is how I was feeling when I finally had my car done, remember. I had so many problems but now I am so happy with it. Just take a deep breath and walk away for a few days and you will feel better.

Sounds like another new water pump is needed. Bearing probably went bad on that one...causing the shaft & pulley to wobble...tossing the belt.
Were the belts too tight or fan out of balance??

Or the alignment on the belts may be off adding side pressure. Make sure everything is in a straight line.

[flash]

Everything seemed to be lined up nice and straight and the belts were not overtight . It is out of commission for a while ,at least til I get back from Ohio.

If you can get it over here I'd be glad to take a look at it John. Maybe after you return from OH...I'll be in Baton Rouge next weekend anyhow.
You going to Jasper tomorrow night??
