The crisis being the alcohol caused the problem, or it was keystone light?

according to me lately Keystone Light is the problem for my head gasket going on upside down, heater core going, and having my cat stolen all in a 2-week period, either I have a problem or my rig does. none the less kill switch engage kicks butthole.

I am most certainly speaking of the band. I love KSE, Lamb of God, and the such, I play guitar and have so for 15 years, but I like everything, was listening to some bubble gum music on the way into work today.

As far as a Killswitch on the truck, I have on of those already, all I have to do is ENGAGE the clutch and the truck dies! That's the next thing on the list, and I will not be taking pulls of the krunk tit this time, let's go sober!

okeedokee, so it wasn't my valve

I pulled it off today, and she's clean as a whistle all the way through

now the core was another story...

I pulled both hoses off at the valve and the metal pipe down by the exhaust and pushed some water through via a hose, and you should have seen the nasty crap that came out, lol

ran it till crystal clean water was coming out, then topped off the collant at the hoses there and put everything back together, popped the rad-cap off and topped that off, fired her up and let it warm up, and OH MAN, HEAT!!!

now I just hope I didn't clean up a rusty hole in the core that's going to start leaking on me



and of course, now the weather's starting to heat up here again...

I need to completely take that hose off also because my valve was clean all the way through, it just wouldnt open up, and I am wondering if the same thing is happening on my where the hose going down from the valve to the by-pass pipe running under the exhaust manifold is clogged. I have heat that will run you out of the truck but more the marrier.
