Got it all back in the truck and took it for a spin. Everything worked as it should. Line pressure was 205psi. Found my optima Battery to be junk in the process. Had to jump it and then after a couple hot laps it was hot and steaming. Battery isn’t even 6 months old lol.

Optima Red Top ? Cause if heard of some issues with them... And I've got a few in trucks. Fingers crossed, lol
|
Yeah it’s a red top. I had issues from day one. First noticed my truck not starting if it sat for a couple days. Had no issues prior to switching batteries.

Where's the battery temp sensor?
I put a set in my 12V in 07 and junked them in 15 after lots of sitting. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
Temp sensor is under the drivers side battery. Had my charging stem checked this morning and it’s charging at 14.6v. Battery tested good. Although I am kinda baffled why there is moisture/water coming out of a gel battery. Unless water or moisture got in it somehow sitting outside.

You have water coming OUT of the Optima? I thought they were a sealed battery?
|
I'm sure they breathe, I just don't know if they are valved or not.
I took the sensor out of the tray and slid it into the V in the plastic on the battery. There was too much of an air gap underneath to suit me. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
Put about 50 miles on it and it hasn’t got hot yet. I will just keep an eye on it.

Going to put a couple hundred miles on the trans, change the fluid and filter, change the oil, then post her for sale. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
What did you find in the trans this time?

Curious also

I don’t want to sell it but I have some family medical bills that need paid and the extra money would help a lot. I don’t really want to store it another winter, and I don’t have time to race it or go to events. It’s basically a fun daily driver for me. I think someone who has the time and money to put a cage or roll bar in it and actually race it would get more use out of it. I have put 6300 miles on the engine and have been very pleased with truck. If it don’t sell it’s not a big deal. I was going to put a stock engine and trans in it but that costs money and time to do too.
