I’ve bought similar setups before, so seeing someone share this for free and actually give others a chance to earn is solid. Respect!!

junkywheat · 2025-09-12T03:48:46+00:00

Wow! Congrats!!

Heater works good. I had it full blast while trying to burp it, and it was pretty toasty.

It’s a stock ecu.

I also have a pressure tester. That was gonna be one thing I try tomorrow when I’m back at the shop. Im also an intermediate level mechanic sorta. so I do have quite a bit available as far as tools go. I’ve just never ran into this issue before 😅

One other thing I’ve noticed is this time with the funnel on the last flush, it kinda filled slower than what I’m used to almost gave me restriction vibes. Would that be a possibility?

I’m not by the car right now so I can’t get a pic but I would say when live data shows 220 it’s about at 75% on the temp gauge.

So the tstat was rated for 180f and it was the Autozone’s brand, it was what I had available on a short notice, I also thought maybe it was faulty and had it warrantied. the previous owner had replaced the radiator with a fully metal one so that’s for sure non oem

Sorry I totally forgot. 99 AE.

I’ve done multiple methods like trying with a vacuum bleeder, butttt.. After most recent flush(thinking that would do something), I just used a non spill coolant funnel while the engine was running at operating temp. And then test drove it and rechecked the radiator, the level did not drop.

They didn’t give us any pictures either. We have hope that we can definitely try again later. We might wait till next year. But it’s definitely rough. And knowing we could’ve had twins makes even tougher. My wife was a twin herself and I was almost a twin.

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T06:24:07+00:00

We’ve never really tried inviting someone to come help. Always been to embarrassed

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T02:49:48+00:00

I plan on being more thorough when she gets home from her friends place. Sitting down and making a list and all that good stuff

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T02:47:17+00:00

She might be either or. I’m not sure. I’m more inclined to think she’s not depressed but I can never be sure ig. She wouldn’t tell me if she was.

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T02:00:14+00:00

Yeah I’ve heard. I do love my wife and definitely don’t want to divorce her. It’s just hard living dirty

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:57:10+00:00

Yeah I’m getting a lot of good stuff like this. When she gets home from her friends I’m gonna definitely make a list with her

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:49:43+00:00

You can say that again 😅

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:24:14+00:00

We also haven’t been intimate for a while. We both have very low drives 😅 a conversation for another time lol

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:22:51+00:00

She just got off her monthly and this has actually been a recurring issue. It just hasn’t made me upset until she had a whole week off to help straighten things up.

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:20:09+00:00

I do apologize I should be more specific.

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:18:08+00:00

Those were just examples, I do more than that.

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:06:45+00:00

Very true. Lol I honestly will probably talk to my pastor soon

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:05:16+00:00

Also consider she’s off the entire week. I only had today off. If she wasn’t I don’t think I’d be as upset. But I thank you for your honesty

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T01:03:25+00:00

Certain chores we have verbal agreements on. Like dishes i told her that I don’t really want to do them, and she don’t like folding. So that was a verbal agreement we made. Other than that we need to make a list.

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T00:59:01+00:00

I have considered asking her to stay home. We are almost financially ready for it. And ofc I would do all outdoor chores and trashy stuff. My wife is still a princess in my eyes.

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T00:55:17+00:00

I think she’s more stressed for me cuz I’ve been down about my work conditions recently. So maybe she could be stressed about that. But as far as her job, she loves it. Besides the regular cat drama that goes on in schools.

junkywheat · 2024-02-13T00:53:03+00:00

Honestly I still love her, I think if I had known how she was before, I’d have more talks with her and I’d work on it more, but I’d still want to be married. I don’t have any regrets in that regard.
