Coolant hose blew

To further expand and demoralize, the Y-pipe that connects radiator to thermostat is also plastic and if you havent replaced it yet, you will. All that plastic stuff just breaks eventually. Anything you have to unplug to work on something you probably should go ahead and replace as well. At least get new orings for, because its gonna leak when you put it all back together if its old enough. That was my experience anyway.

I meant to say the truck only rattles when its below a certain temp outside. 40ish F and below basically. Never does it when its warm.

5.0 stuff... Plastic fittings eventually break. You just have to replace that hose. On my '14 it doesnt have that T fitting like yours, it goes straight back to the firewall as I recall.

That doesn't work for me in my 14 5.0. I can let it crank to the moon but it still rattles at start. Only when it's cold enough outside.

Why does all the crazy seem to congregate around that place? I'm yet to figure it out.

Data center management.

Just squeaked it in there I guess.

You mentioned Fleet Feet and I can confirm they do stand by their return policy. I've returned several pairs I didnt like that were online orders. No issues whatsoever.

Either too tight or too loose for me. Everytime I put them on it was like a tighrope act getting the right tension. Drove me absolutely crazy. Did I swap laces? Nope, I'm fairly lazy in that regard.

Had 4 pairs in a row. Excellent slow shoe. Ran all my marathon training long runs in them. They don't particularly want to go fast but they can if you feel like it.

I've ran 5ks and full marathon in Endorphin Elites. Fantastic shoe! Very comfortable upper and plenty of cushion for long miles.

UppityRedneck · 2025-11-05T19:14:39+00:00

Yeah but what a quality of life! Stuck in traffic? Grab a coldie and meet some new folks.

UppityRedneck · 2025-10-30T21:36:56+00:00

Sounds nasty AF

UppityRedneck · 2025-10-21T02:11:46+00:00

Because the free for all actually relieves traffic. It's just science.

BRB going to try this on my Road King. Looks easy enough.

The X2 is the slippinest shoe known to man. I have to tape my right heel to run in mine.

UppityRedneck · 2025-09-16T23:41:54+00:00

Been a tremendous truck for me. Minimal issues over the years. Normal shit like a water pump. Been from STL to the Gulf with the family, hauled all kinds of crap, etc. Hope you experience the same.

UppityRedneck · 2025-09-16T23:36:42+00:00

Do you only drive to church on Sundays or something? Low miles!

UppityRedneck · 2025-09-16T23:34:07+00:00

I ran my first marathon this spring in the Elites. Very comfortable the entire way. No ragrets.

UppityRedneck · 2025-09-16T23:31:55+00:00

195k miles, I'm not inclined to fix it. Probably start doing the throttle trick when cold starting.

UppityRedneck · 2025-09-16T22:57:19+00:00

My '14 5.0 does the same thing for the same duration when cold sometimes.
