Okay update 012906:
I was fooling around with the BII yesterday. I was installing some power wires into my under hood power distribution box for my new 99 Eddie Bauer HEATED leather seats.
I was under the truck looking at my routing options for the new power wires when I noticed my drivers side L&L engine mount was missing the rear mount to block bolt.
Interesting I though since I had just been under the truck a week ago and thought I would for sure have noticed this getting loose.
The front bolt was also all the way OUT, but due to the design of the L&L mounts it was held in the hole by the mount connector centering bolt. (directly underneath it)
It took me a good 3 hours to replace both bolts. With the steering box and canton oil filter adapter right there in the way access to the front bolt was close to impossible. I was able to determine that the bolts I was using are too short by about 1/4" and figure this must be why they both came out on this side. The passenger side is still snug, and those bolts are both longer.
I was lucky to catch this before anything major happened to the mount/block/drivetrain or other mounts (other side, trans mainly)
So the moral is CHECK YOUR WORK!
I am about 12K miles into the conversion and never would have expected the bolts to come out now. I re-installed new bolts using grade 5 hardware, loc-tite and lock washers.
this of course put a slight delay in my heated seat install, I am hoping to complete it one night this week, but man they are going to be NICE!!!
Also I am still battling a small coolant leak. I have replaced the lower hose, all clamps, and checked everything about 4 times (clean, drive, look for leak) I still cannot determine the location of the leak, I have managed to slow it down/and or eliminate other leaks hahaha
the fan throws coolant everywhere so it is hard to pin point.
I still suspect my cheapo Pep-Boys 16# radiator cap, but fear it may also be an actual hole in the Ron Davis radiator.
The next step will be to clean everything up and get the leak detection dye kit.
Hopefully it is something simple.
If it is the radiator it will have to wait a few weeks until the explorer is running, then I can remove the tank and have it repaired, this is not a cheap or easily available radiator. Figures
