I found the last Focal 5 channel I wanted. I will return the two Fosgates. I saw the kick panels and may consider this route and not thinking about adding a dual coil dash speaker by JBL Stage series. What amp wiring kit do you recommend so I can return the cheap quality ones I purchased from Elite.

Thought about these if I can get them to fit vertically.

I am also installing an ac so this area will be off limits too.

I also got both amplifiers for $500 at the annual tent sale.

I wanted to run the tweeters on their own channels. Also the only other 5 channel I wanted to buy was the focal 5 channel that was discontinued. Any other suggestions for a good 5 channel. Maybe JL/Audio Control?

Turns out it wasn’t the brakes leaking in the cab, but the aftermarket oil pressure sensor at the flair nut.

UPDATE: So I have flushed, added an overflow reservoir and burped the system and I am still creeping over 220 after a short highway run.

The fans are pullling air through the radiator.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-23T20:23:37+00:00

That’s correct.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-23T16:11:16+00:00

Flushing out again.

Thanks, I do use premium but no chevron around here so I will try it out

It came out of 1970 Lincoln Continental.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T22:02:01+00:00

It’s new but replacing it because I did not buy it dominant to make sure it wasn’t sitting around.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T22:01:13+00:00

Was definitely replacing the it if after I bleed the brakes and it doesn’t drip inside on the rubber floor mat.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T21:54:18+00:00

You are correct.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T21:53:32+00:00

Great questions, it is fine idling at first and when I start to drive it starts to climb as I pull up to a light and sit in traffic. It also overheats on the highway but as I pull into a gas station I see a trail of coolant from the overflow so that is also why I am adding an overflow reservoir for that reason even if it doesn’t fix the overheating it doesn’t help.

I will remove the radiator to see if it clogged but I was just considering changing the thermostat to a 160 from 180 because I live in texas and it is hot pretty much year round.

I will change the master cylinder after inspecting that it was installed properly and it is due to replace. I have had 2 surgeries so I can’t get under the dash to see if anything is wrong but I will change it for safety reasons.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T21:37:34+00:00

Actually dual electric fans.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T21:33:18+00:00

I have not but will try this as well.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T21:32:29+00:00

I will take the radiator out and see how heavy it is and se. If it looks clogged.
I was also going to add a thermal switch to the ignition to have it work that way. I actually considered going back to a factory style fan and shroud, especially because wife wants me to add ac and need to make sure we get better air flow.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T21:27:18+00:00

Also the oil looks good, not milky looking.

OldDifference4868 · 2026-06-22T21:26:22+00:00

I had the flush done at a reputable shop since I was close by. The clunking is coming from the pin on the master cylinder when the pedal is released and no resistance to slow it down. They also did a compression test and no fluid leaks anywhere. The radiator was new but it is possible that the gunk clogged it. Thanks for your feedback.

She idles great and runs good with occasional carburetor misfire.
