    Good job on the welding. I am curious to see how just omitting it will work. You may be on to something. My only concern is will the coolant be cool enough by the time it circulated when the truck engine is off. I wonder if the fan would be enough to keep it cooled. It might if the engine is cooled off before you run the APU.

    Yep, you got scammed. Good job on the radiator. You are incorrect about coolant not colling better than just water. Coolant can give up its heat quicker than pure water. So yes, it can cool. Also, it has a higher boiling point. Lastly it will help keep rust from forming if it is kept fresh.

  • @Look_What_You_Did

    That is soldering. There is no fusion of materials as only the filler material reached a molten state. If there is a gasket on that header you smoked the shit out of it. If you bumped the elbow and it didn't hold... It isn't a repair. If a person does not remove the layer of aluminum oxide there is zero chance of it holding.
    I don't know what TF your "it isn't coolant" was about because it is a coolant. Like many coolants it has additional properties for the application (lubrication, corrosion protection, decreased freeze point, cavitation suppression). Even oil is a coolant.

    Hey, we've all been scammed in one way or another. It's nice that you have discretionary cash, so that it's not a big deal. I was a pro poker player for 15 years, part time to full time. Sometimes the poker lessons (whether learned by me, or by my opponents) weren't free, as we would say. But for anyone paying attention, the lessons were worth the price if future play improved.
    I'm guessing you got $240 smarter. And if you didn't, that's a lesson worth something to you also.
    Next time, offer to put on their donut pare tire, and take their mint OEM Mercedes wheel and high-end tire for $100. Though you still have risk that the car is stolen, so maybe $40 instead, lol. You'll find out whether they're having an emergency or not.
