    is it coming out of the plastic over-flow tank? if so, drain your cooling system and pressure test (easy as hell on a 470). you probably lost the head gasket.

    if I did that, would take the truck and probably drive round-trip in one shot..... its a posibility. I have driven to Colorado and back for a 1953 Chevrolet cab and front clip.

    shipping the front bumper alone from the GM site is $290. plus, they dont actually have inventory of a GXP cover. the ebay rear cover is in worse shape than mine. for $700 also get the misc brackets, grills, panels, etc. that got smashed/bent.

    Adding dash voltage gauge for trolling motor batteries.

    if its truly a volt meter, your fine. you could have it wired with 22 gauge and it wont mater. you do realize that is a chinesium volt meter that may have questionable quality. couple that with the fact that it is most likely a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy and they really dont...

    looked at the member map, most near Rockville havent been active for a few years long story short. my daily driver is a 2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP. car was in great shape until last thursday when a lady not paying attention rear-ended me and pushed me into a trailer hitch on a 2500 suburban...

    Drain hose shinkage?

    I would re-plumb the boat and make sure to have adequate service loops where needed.

    Adding dash voltage gauge for trolling motor batteries.

    a volt meter is wired parallel to the battery and load and has no amperage limit. an amp meter is wired in series and is critical to have a higher rating than the load. so either you have an amp meter with a ampere rating. or you have a volt meter with no ampere rating.

    the plastic over-flow tank that is connected to the nipple under the radiator cap. the expansion tank on the heat exchanger is only about 1/3 of the volume needed. (the volume should be 10% of the total system volume, since 6% is the absolute minimum and the heat exchanger expansion tanks is...

    270 leg water pickup

    without pictures, none. is there a bottom pickup on the hull? I would grab the factory service manual for your drive and decipher what is what. if you ran the boat for more than a few seconds with a dry impeller, your impeller is now toast.

    Merc 7.4l 454 Gen 4 to 5 interchangeable?

    to get that on a dyno is one thing. however you have to add lots of duration with lots of overlap to the cam....... all top end power, no lower RPM power and it would suck water up your exhaust and hydrolock your motor in a boat once you tried starting it. again, you have to understand...

    1992 Bayliner 1700BR with 70 HP Force ?

    props should be removed every 6 months to a year and the shafts greased to prevent this. you may be cutting the prop off.

    broke driveshaft

    fatigue cracks can start if you have a dead cylinder and run the motor for a while. the un-ballanced loading is not as bad as cyclical reverse loading.
