Yes, we tried the "burping" trick yesterday.. t'stat is working fine.. but h2o pump is not moving the water.....

Thanks guys. Kinda confirming my worst nightmares. When I "rebuilt" it 3 weeks ago, I got the broken manifold bolts out, added Thorley headers, oil filter relo kit, exhaust system, new belts (not t-belt or h2o pump.. looked brand new) new intake plentum gasket (all this was done motor out) and a few other non mechanical things. I do remember now that my bf's bro drilled too far and I think he might have hit a water jacket on PS closest to firewall while trying to drill out the hole (we had to make it bigger as the old stud welded itsself to the aluminum) could his doing that cause this problem??. The Pathy has not lost any power at all, still runs smooth, no extra noises, and starts up no problems. Haven't noticed any smoke either. I was going to test a few things today (rad in, heat up, pull plugs-check for h2o coming out of holes)... the new belts were a bit loose too....could that and a bad rad cap cause some of the porblems?? Or am I grasping at simple cure straws?? I am really disenchanted and heart broken with this situation, after all my hard work and $$already invested less than 1,000 miles ago. Why now?? why not 1,000 miles ago when I first put it back together?? That's what I don't understand.... I will try some of your suggestions... and if you have anymore ideas in teh meantime.. I am allllll ears. Thanks!! Could it be the PVC valve causing this???

well.. i did "stuff" like "that" all night.. and couldn't find an answer to my problem.... so I finally posted in the garage section.... LOL

I spent $1,700.. one month rebuilt 1,000 miles, and now this.... Pathy started overheating 2 days ago... checked rad and NO h2o. Filled it.. overheated AGAIN that nite. It had internally boiled away ALL the coolant. Today... pulled rad, drained coolant into clean pan... and there was OIL floating, in with but not mixed with, with the coolant. Checked oil.. but there's NO coolant, in the oil. :furious: It had a brand new t'stat installed 1,000 rebuilt miles ago... new coolant..oil....belts.... I have pulled a valve cover and there seemed to be a little coolant stuck to the cover where the oil filler cap is.. but the oil in the valve covers/valves is fine. At the same time it started eating coolant and overheating, it also suddenly starting burning oil and using more gas. No visible signs of leaks for either, they are BOTH INTERNAL LEAKS. I am miffed as to what the problem is.. but I do know...I am about to put a 4 sale sign on my Pathy and sell it..... :contract: It drives perfect, no power loss... idled a bit shaky but at smooth rpm's just recently.. also.. if you touch the upper rad hose, it will burn you.. if you touch the hose/pipe running from t'stat housing.. you can leave your hand on it and not get burned, the same with heater hoses going into firewall. Anyone have any ideas as to what is happening? I went n bought new h2o pump, rad cap and t-belt today.. but I think it's more serious than the h2o pump..... HELP!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks sc88.. I kinda knew that sort of.. when I posted pics, I did it through my bf's comcast account.. seemed to work that way... geocities.. heard of that.. any good??? sssh

I would agree.. but don't do what I did and take someone's word for it that some parts "looked" new (h2o pump and t-belt) (they were only a year old) and kaput! POOF. down went the h20 pump yesterday..... I say.. kudos to you for loving your Pathy that much.. and darn I wanna HEAR it after all that work!! It's gunna be a BEAST!! -bounce-

darn. Ok...so..I lose.. but not by tooooooo far. I can see visible duct tape, losing paint AND clear coat on back and side..Pathy been crashed b 4... took sawzall to PS.....cut fender flares (both) AND... bent a bit of the lower bumper pushing that Jeep.... does that give me extra brownie points??

:o just my luck.. the boat always leaves without me! (bought my RS5000 series a month ago) :oops:

Yup. those don't look right. Here's a link to my brand new coils I bought. Mine were $70 brand new...... http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...943.jpg&.src=ph

Yeah. My bf has his ear op May 3rd..so the first 2 weeks of May are out fer sure. We'll get together with precise1 and get some dates thrown out there, I am pretty flexible. There still is enuff mud n water n yuck out in the back 5 for me to amuse myself for now..LOL -bounce-

Imagine the visual I had when I said that after watching the video 3 times... -thnkboutit-

he wants hella bucks fer shipping.. but yeah.. it COULD be painted.... sssh

-alcohol- TGIF to that!!!!!!!

sssh Where do we western Pathy peeps come into the equasion?? we have a bunch of everything... and ...if we're going for the ugly contest.. my Pathy wins.. hands down..... (but she's beautiful to me!) -bounce- http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...9a7.jpg&.src=ph

Yes, if you can, spray it with water and watch to see if it bubbles. You should be good to go if it's not leaking. What's a little "angle change" amongst friends? LOL

I hear Calmini's torsion bars are good.. wish I could afford them right now.. shop around (won't take long.. not too many places have them for Pathy's) and compare prices. I know there are install links in the garage forums as this has been covered several times. Good luck! let us know how it goes.. I will be doing that job in the not too far future..I hope! -bounce-

I had the KC's on my Jeep.. they worked great for night wheeling alongside the stock headlights.... I have also had Hella's.. which I really liked. Strong lenses. I bought these tiny (55 watts each) lights from Harbor Freight for $20 for 2..you'd be suprised how bright they are! (bf's bro has them on his Chevy.. I haven't installed mine yet) here's a link cuz I'm stupid..LOL http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...94e.jpg&.src=ph

I gave him props for his choice in music. Good dance tunes.. but I am glad he didn't put on any MJ.... I can only imagine how he would have danced to "Beat it" :o

Don't feel bad repack.... I still can't post pics!

Here's pics of my cat and my new muffler.... sorry.. still a retard.. have to leave links...LOL http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...d1f.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...653.jpg&.src=ph http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/pathy4x4/det...5db.jpg&.src=ph enjoy! BTW.. the second pic is how he mounted the "back" of the new muffler to the frame.. that sucker is there. Doesn't rattle.. tidy and up out of the way..and he straightened the pipe a lot from the stock set up.

Sounds Great!!!! I'll be the kid with the busted "hoopty" and all you NPORA Vets can "Pimp My Ride" with $20,000+ in goodies.. Now who's going to step up and bank roll this little project? :confused: think we need to open our own charity for this project.. and.. BTW.. ME FIRST!!! me..me..meeeeeeeeeeeeeee firssssssssssssssssst..puhleeeeeeeeze!!!!!!!!!!!

Ebay hates me.. so do my local junk yards. When I want something.. can't get it.. when I go buy it... they're everywhere.

The cats were new when I bought the Pathy, don't kow the brand, but I do know they are high flow cats. No name brands needed, just make sure they are high flow. Muffler offset doesn't matter.. I changed mine, I think it's side in center out.. darn.. now I will have to go look tomorrow..LOL

SC huh!? my favorite place to hang out and get tattoo's! Well.. plannin a trip to Frank Raines before the end of April if ya wanna go?? (otherwise known as Del Porto Canyon).. let me know. Hopefully Precise1 will have his Pathy up n haulin a$$ by then.... -bounce-

I wish we had grass like that!! BUT! on a good note.. congrats on the Titan... I am most jealous!
